I saw this picture once—randomly scrolling through the web—showing some impossible mountain, like straight out of a fever dream. Made me think of that old saying about mountains and molehills, you know? Anyway, this is kind of how Roblox feels sometimes. It’s this weird, chaotic playground. You’ll find games to chill like you’re zen gardening, and others… well, it’s more like a capitalist nightmare. Seriously. Ever heard of Steal a Brainrot? But there’s also this wild thing with imitation games. Seems like every hit game gets a doppelganger. Like, remember Getting Over It With Bennett Foddy? Now it’s Peak’s turn.
Peak’s one of those 2025 surprises, the kind that seems tailored for Twitch’s universe. Bright colors, some crazy mechanics—player-versus-player cannibalism, what even? But that’s nothing. You get together with friends, climb stuff, maybe try not to ruin friendships, right? With all those updates and randomizing fun, it’s like built for endless replay.
And then along comes Cliff on Roblox. Already got, like, five million visits. Cliff? Yeah, sounds like Peak’s cousin. Some would call it horribly familiar:
“CLIFF: climb or… well, maybe fall. Mess up once, and it’s game over. You’re stuck on this bizarre island, only escape is scaling the ginormous cliff. Up for the challenge?”
Team up, they say. Sounds easy, but nope. Friends can help each other over ledges. Watch out though, those ledges can be trickier than my grandma’s jello molds.
Thing is, Cliff credits the inspiration, but when it looks just like Peak, you gotta wonder… how far is too far? Peak’s creators think it’s too far. They went all out on social media, preferring you to pirate their game. Sounds extreme, but knock-offs here get big, like Getting Over It. It’s had—get this—82 million plays. Cliff’s got under 10,000 players now.
What’s ruffling feathers? Oh, just that Cliff’s packed with microtransactions. Buy a pet? Spending on in-game boosts? Might be cheap, but hey, for just $7.99, the real deal Peak’s not trying to sell you a bridge, right?
Social media folks aren’t shy. “Don’t boss me around,” one says. “Buying it even harder now,” as if to prove a point. Then there’s this: “I’d rather just fork out eight bucks for one of the best co-op bits ever.” Makes you think, huh?
