Gamers will be having a hard time playing "Mount Your Friends," as a 3D version of the said multiplayer game has been announced and will be titled "Mount Your Friends 3D: A Hard Man is Good to Climb."

Developer and publisher Stegersaurus Software Inc. has announced that they will be porting "Mount Your Friends" to a new and improved 3D game engine. This will add more dimension and depth to the buff dudes of the 2D puzzle multiplayer game.

A debut trailer has also been released by the developers, and it shows a sneak peek at what the game will look like. A word of warning though, it is quite explicit and may even count as not safe for work, though it does show how much the game has improved in terms of graphics. It does not indicate how much this will change the gameplay though since the game is popular for its physics. Being a 3D game now, the mechanics might change drastically.

"Mount Your Friends" features a robust and humorous multiplayer puzzle system which puts a bunch of muscled albeit grossly disproportioned dudes against a lone goat platform. Players will have to control the muscular characters in order to place them on top of one another without failing balance. What makes it challenging is that there is only one platform in the form of a goat, making the balancing act look like a reverse pyramid.

Players whose character fail to grab and balance themselves on the goat will be eliminated from the competition. The game can either be played solo or by four players and has been a party favorite ever since its original release back in 2014 for the PC. Since then, the game has seen an overwhelmingly positive reception on Steam, with 95 percent of all its reviews being positive.

The "Mount Your Friends 3D: A Hard Man is Good to Climb," the 3D upgrade to the original "Mount Your Friends" is set to be released sometime during 2018.
