Embark on a cozy climbing adventure in Valley Peaks, a ribbiting first-person platformer where each mountain is like a puzzle. Install Radio Towers at the top of every ridge to connect the froggy inhabitants to the wider world, venture further into the Valley, conquer peaks and unravel mysteries!
Players take control of an anthropomorphic frog and must use a combination of precise platforming and intuitive grab points to scale the game's various mountains and ridges. Reviewers consistently praise the climbing controls, describing them as "crisp and precise" while still offering a satisfying challenge. The game steadily introduces new climbing mechanics and obstacles, such as "swinging spikes" and "prickly vines," forcing players to adapt their strategy for each unique mountain. One reviewer notes how "every mountain has its own gimmick," requiring a fresh approach rather than a one-size-fits-all solution. Despite the challenges, the difficulty curve feels well-paced and accessible. Players can freely experiment and learn from their mistakes without harsh punishment. However, the game also offers optional speedrunning trials and more demanding mountain routes for those seeking a greater test of their platforming skills. Unlocking new gadgets and abilities through the game's upgrade system further empowers players, allowing them to tackle subsequent climbs in novel ways. One reviewer describes the feeling of "unlocking new tools and using them to tackle subsequent climbs in fresh ways" as highly rewarding.
