Aside from some spotty keyboard control implementation and limited online play, there’s little not to like here. Mount Your Friends is a wonderfully weird game best experienced with buddies.
Mount Your Friends is good only if you want to shock and stupefy your guests at a party. This game is fun for the first 15 minutes. After that, don’t even try to look for variety here. Even if it were a free Flash game, it would have been crushed by more creative (Climb), witty (Double Hitler) and absurd (Realistic Summer Sports Simulator) brethren.

This game is a really fun game to play. I have it on steam and bought my friend a copy to play together. We play it almost daily now. With replay ability if you are looking to have a fun and funny time with your friend either locally or over the internet you can play 1 or 2 matches at a time without getting bored.

Weird but hilarious game that is fun at parties.
Mount your Friends is a hilarious and surprisingly fun game to play with your friends.
It has a very simple concept. Build a tower of ripped dudes by climbing up each other and reach for the stars. The goal is to become the player that reaches the highest point in the dude tower before the time runs out. In the beginning, this is easy, just climb two or three other guys, but when the tower gets larger, it is a literal race to the top.
You snap one, or all of your limbs to another bro in the stack and try to reach high enough to surpass the maximum height of your opponent(s).
You control each hand and feet individually with separate controls, making it ridiculously hard to coordinate your movement and the right path to climb. Especially later on in the game when you have no time for errors. This is the whole charm of the game and watching each other struggle to progress upwards is just hilarious to see, especially with the blend and lifeless expressions on the faces of all the beef sticks that are already mended into the pile.
The graphics are 2D and feature complete ragdoll, making the animations smooth as butter. They are fun to look at but represents nothing too special.
The sound and music in Mount Your Friends consists of the snapping sounds of limbs that you grab and calm ambient music while you struggle to reach the top of the men pile. It is the calmest and weirdest background music I heard so far.
You can play locally with four players, making Mount Your Friends an excellent party game. I really enjoyed this gem when playing with my friends and never laughed so hard first time playing it.
Besides the standard climb mode, you can also play some sort of battle, in which a sword is strapped on your head, and you need to fling yourself towards the other player, hitting him with the sword.
There is also a rock climbing mode in which you need to get as far as you are able. You need to keep track of where your limbs are on the horizontal rock wall and progress one limb at a time or else you drop to your death.
Lastly, there is some kind of capture the flag mode in which you need to reach a crown first before the other player does. You got some ledges and platforms to attach to in order to reach this goal.
So despite its simplicity, Mount Your Friends offers enough content to keep you play for hours, especially in company of friends. It features excellent support for almost any controller, responds fluently and overall, plays great.
I enjoyed this game very much and would recommend it to everyone.

Bought this game on sale and havent stopped laughing since I started playing it. The sound effects, movements, and watching opponents clumsily fumble through a level is some of the funniest moments in gaming I have experienced. I bought it thinking I would get a couple hours of entertainment out of it and now I cannot stop playing. The online features are lacking a bit (chat, matchmaking, etc) but its all still functional. Great game

Mount Your Friends is a hilarious game to play with friends. Customisation, variety of modes and frustrating yet exciting gameplay. A game that wouldnt be much fun alone but with a friend it will be extremely hard to put down.

I played this on the Xbox360 Arcade, and seeing that it came to Steam I'll review it now. I have to say that it's not terrible, but it'll definitely over-stay it's welcome very quickly. The idea is that each round each player is given a character, they have to race against the clock to achieve higher vertical elevation than the previous player's character. You're given asinine controls to make it funnier/more difficult, and you must QWOP your way to the tower of dudes, climb up them, and get higher than any previous player has gotten. Whoever can't accomplish higher vertical height looses. It's a pretty simple concept with no variations which is why it gets boring fast, but it is a good amount of fun and a good few laughs if you play with some friends. Is it worth the money? Personally I'm not sure if I'd recommend it. As an Xbox Live Indie Game it was $0.99, so it was worth a good few laughs from time to time. But the Steam version is $4.99, so I'm on the edge about if it's worth the money or not. Maybe if it's on sale, around $2.49, or if you're really curious, then it may be worth it. As a game though, it sits comfortably below average.
