playing PEAK with a friend
played the new climbing survival game PEAK by LandCrab (the Landfall and Aggro Crab collab) and it's pretty fun!
my friend junehaps (you'll see them in-game as "emi") and i did our first run on the procedural mountain and got to 345 meters. it was a good attempt and i unlocked some new cosmetics.
you can hear me on mic, but we couldn't get emi's audio to work this time. we still managed to communicate pretty well and had fun though!

Q: "how is the game in terms of controls and what there is to do?"
A:
it controls pretty simple and intuitive, kind of auto climb with a stamina bar, not like White Knuckle where you have to intentionally line up every grab, in this game you just hold the mouse button - you can like also press shift while climbing to like jolt forward using stamina
theres a good variety of items that make each run/area/even each small crest its own problem to solve, its awesome
in terms of "what there is to do" , theres a small lobby area , a good amount if unlockable cosmetics, and procedurally generated mountains with different zones (if you reach peak 1, area 2 is generated , and so on)
theres also a fog mechanic that plays kinda similar to like being out of the zone in pubg or apex or something like that, where it slowly damages you
managing the stamina bar is fun, theres a good amount of different status effects , and items that cause or remedy different status effects
theres also cool like environmental things like poisonous plants and bridges and rain and yeah its PEAK
