Amazing art and layout, and seems like it would be a blast to run! Amazing work

Well this got a perfect score for me. Art and overall direction is efficient yet oozing with style. The mechanics are simple yet perilous and will get any table's adrenaline pumping. I just love this. I can't find a bad thing about it. 

This adventure looks like it would be an icy blast to play in or run. I love the concept of a vertica hex crawl racing to reach the top before it's too late. Art work looks incredible with a solid style and vibe throughout. Excellent work.

Rad Racer 3-D glasses! Cool!   Lurandurael made me laugh and so did Lucky Lucy :D  Adds great character to the adventure. I love the Hex Climb tables! Great 8-bit art.  Succinct, easy to run, looks like a fun time!

Inspiration: Great use of the three games you drew.

Usability: This would be a snap to run, and I like that it's built for speed, like all good Shadowdark adventures should be.

Vibes: The NPC portraits are amazing. And the Stolen Veggies. That cucumber has so much personality! All of the art is great, really. Even the "pixelated" Shadowdark banners. So clever. 

A hex-climb? Inspired!  I really enjoyed this one.  My critique is mostly that there wasn't more.  I'll like to see this expanded to provide more ways for the players to engage with the adventure.  In addition, there seems to be a switch in focus from the antagonist being the sorceress to the Mountain King.  Is there a connection?  Lastly, I really appreciated that you internally linked the PDF.

• Vibes: Immaculate
  • Great art & aesthetics. Clear love of 8-Bit vibe. Especially liked the creature art. Simple, but made with care.
  • Hex climb is a cool, fun idea. Great premise, especially considering the inspirations.
  • Intro text explaining the adventure is well-written and concise.
  • Story is simple, but classic, thematic, and right up my alley.
  • Feature, Encounter and Hazard tables are cool and thematic.
  • Monsters are very on-brand, drawn from inspiration. Mountain King abilities seem really fun.
  • Cool, bespoke items, many of which tie directly into the adventure itself. Nice.
• Inspiration: Clearly shows through. Well and concisely explained. Not just window dressing, but built into the core of the adventure itself. Awesome!
• Usability: Very good, but I did find myself wishing there was more meat to the adventure itself.
  • Appreciate that the recommended adventure level is called out right away (on the cover).
  • Stylish fonts are cool, but hurt readability (only a minor issue), as they're sparingly used.
  • Very functional (and aesthetically pleasing) layout. Helps a lot with readability.
  • Given that a lot of the "juice" in this adventure is decided by 2d6 random tables, I'd be a little concerned of seeing the same 2-3 features/encounters/hazards showing up multiple times per run.
  • I appreciate the creature stats being directly in the adventure AND that there are hyperlinks to the stats (and items)  in relevant areas. Nice!
  • Good use of back page with Frozen Treasure table. Many treasures have a real use in the adventure (not just fluff).
  • I haven't done the math, but it does seem a little unlikely that the PCs will encounter the Mountain King, or might encounter him in an awkward spot (like... right away). I would be tempted to have him start stalking the characters once they reached a certain point in the climb (I recognize this is probably personal preference). He just seems like too cool of a creature to not show up near the climax, especially for a one-shot.

Final Thoughts: While I did find myself wishing there was a bit more to it, this adventure is really great, especially when it comes to vibes and inspiration. Layout and art also really well done. Talk about understanding the assignment - you crushed this!

As I've said before, this one was an insta I want to run this. So it doesn't get better than that. 

This would be such a fun one shot All of the art is great and nails the vibe. I'm still cracking up at the stolen veggies

not gonna lie: I judge a book by its cover - and this was an auto download. LOVED the parody art style. Just beautiful.

loved the 32 levels and the 3d glasses.

I love too how one can plop this mountain into any current campaign or frozen hex crawl.

I'm keeping this one in my files.

and I'm always a fan just a document of keyed hexes/rooms. nice and simple to run without prep 

I'm going to be honest, this is fucking awesome. The hex-climb is such a cool idea that I wish I had used for something sooner. The art and layout of this is just so so good, I'm especially fond of the Snow Stealth image for the Mountain King. Actually just the whole Mountain king in general, feeding into the story of their magical corruption, and the secret item/ way to beat them with the Swallowed Sword is just incredibly cool. This adventure not only looks great, but it feels real and lived in. Not even mentioning how cool and unique the frozen treasure is! Like a map carved on a bone, COME ON! THAT'S SICK! I'm super excited to run this for some friends, this adventure is something I would be really genuinely proud of if I made it, I'm taking notes, you did such a great job with this!

Nice and straightforward adventure. 8-bit graphics, perfect, the smiling mushroom makes me think he's a magic mushroom. I'm glad I didn't look at other submissions before uploading, because I see we had a similar idea for the title bar of things with the pixelated ends to be similar to the Shadowdark rules, though yours are much cleaner looking than mine.
