I don't tend to agree with you. Mountain King is a wonderful game and it
breaks both rules that you have set forth. It is not easily playable
without the instructions and the little man will fall forever without
gaining any speed. But it is just so much fun trying to beat the clock
while that excellent music is playing in the background.
