When Ski Lifts Go Wrong

Completion State:

Completed 103/104 levels, 31 with all three medals awarded (75% Steam achievements. 31 hours)

Comments:

I’ve never really played a bridge builder type game but do generally love building games so when I saw that Curve Digital were helping yet another small British studio get a game out in the wild I couldn’t help but pick it up. And I’m glad I did though I didn’t expect to spend quite so much time with it.

I assume most of the tools are at this point pretty rote for fans of the genre but for me the whole idea was pretty novel and interesting. The game essentially asked me to use a limited set of supports, ramps and the like to get my little skier from one side of the map to another.

I love it! The price really attracted me to buy this game and I wondered if it was a case of “you get what you pay for”. In this instance I can say I got a lot of bang for my buck. The tutorial helped me to understand the slight differences in controls to other games of this type but they are very user friendly and after a few minutes I managed to get to grips with all the hotkey solutions as well.

The learning curve is not too slow so each level offers a new challenge and as you progress the challenge continues to grow as well (3 hours can easily feel like 10 minutes with this one!)

Slopecrashers

Slopecrashers

Yes! You read right, arcade snowboarding is back! Which means SLOPECRASHERS is crafted with one thing in mind and that is FUN! This starts from the character selection screen and goes down into the core physics of the game. So press START, choose a character, a board and a hangglider, optionally even up to three buddies of yours for SPLITSCREEN MULTIPLAYER and hit the slopes!

STUNTS, STUNTS and more STUNTS. Yes, very important, because the more daring a stunt is, the more speed you will get out of it. Oh and COMBOS! Chain those stunts together with manuals, small tricks and railslides and redeem the combo meter when you are ready for that EXTRA SPEEDBOOST!

Oh, you thought you could go for a chill ride? I mean yeah you can but look out for your opponents causing EXPLOSIONS, MOLES digging up the ground beneath you, ANGRY SNOWMEN trying to stop you and much more. So go collect items and PROTECT yourself or ATTACK the others! (But for those moments when you just want to cruise down the track and explore everything the slopes have to offer you can choose an opponent-free game mode as well)

And btw, these slopes are not just in snow environments. No! Where we’re shredding, WE DON’T NEED SNOW! So don’t wonder if the next race/slalom/stuntshow/… starts in a shopping mall, a hot desert or a tropical jungle area!

Join our DISCORD community and go behind the scenes of the creation process of the game or join me (the developer who is currently writing this (or wrote this because you will read this later than me)) in my LIVE-STREAMS where I am working on the game and chat with me there.

I love the premises of this Unity game - you can choose in fact between better graphics or better performance, instead of the usual stupid “ultra”, “poor”, “medium” and such qualities.

This is a small physics indie game, small even because it’s short, and minimalistic for sure - the whole game has in fact just two colors.

The white of the snow will be the main color of the whole game, since you’re playing as a skier, while the rest of the minimalistic world will be colored of black, red, orange, blue and so on.

Just Ski is fun physics game but it lacks a lot of basic features that you would expect from this genre. As of right now, there is only one map that you have to beat with no save points. It probably takes around 10 minutes, not that you could do on a first try. As you can see I have been trying to beat it for over 5 hours. In other words, you will replay the first section a lot (like 50 times at least). Somehow I am not bored of it just yet. Something about the relaxing music and the atmosphere makes the deaths less stressful.

As the game is still in EA, please so not take my review as negative criticism but as recommendations for things that should be improved for the final version.

So let’s go through it:

The setting: as a winter sport enthusiast, mountain lover and little snow angel, I love the setting and the idea. I followed the project from the very first alpha, and bought it here to support the developers.

Graphics: You get what you see in the screenshots and videos. A lovely mountain area with nice vegetation and some cute looking skiers. For a game focussed on snow, the white element is presented a bit boring. No variations, no animations, no structure… I want to see at least some improvements here, without expecting AAA-class graphics.

This is my very first review andI really wanted to write a positive one because I absolutely loved the demo. Now with more features, I thought that this sounded wonderful but after several hours of playing, it became more + more frustrating due to too many restrictions and bugs. I’m now listing up what I mean which is actually a listing up of bugs or negative issues and hope I don’t sound rude or so because English is not my first language. So unfortunately, this will be a negative review as I can’t recommend the game at this stage of development, especially not for this price as it has far too many issues.
