Relaxing and fun gameplay with a great soundtrack that enhances the experience.
Challenging yet satisfying mechanics that require skill and precision, making it engaging for players.
Good value for the price, offering a unique snowboarding experience that stands out from typical games in the genre.

Limited character customization options and lack of an open mode detract from player investment and enjoyment.
Levels can feel too short and repetitive, with mandatory star collection disrupting the flow of gameplay.
Handling can feel awkward at slow speeds, and the game lacks realistic snowboarding mechanics.

Players appreciate the dynamic soundtrack that evolves to maintain interest, with a mix of somber and chill tunes that complement the gameplay well. Overall, the music contributes significantly to the game's immersive and engaging atmosphere.
- “Great soundtrack.”
- “The soundtrack is very atmospheric and really pulls you in.”
- “For the first few levels of the story mode, you are treated to somber, semi-relaxing music, and to the developer's credit, it changes a second or two after it becomes boring and tired to the ear.”

Gameplay is described as mechanically sufficient but lacking in depth, with short levels and minimal character customization. While some players appreciate the calming atmosphere and a good difficulty curve, others find the star-collecting aspect uninteresting and the overall game systems not particularly engaging. The music is noted as a highlight, enhancing the experience despite the gameplay's shortcomings.
- “Nice gameplay, simple but with a good difficulty curve, especially if we want to get the 3 stars in each level. The music is exquisite and has a lot of soundtracks.”
- “I personally don't find collecting stars interesting, as I was fully onboard just to enjoy the mechanics, atmosphere, and storytelling.”
- “In summary, the atmosphere is calming and somber (which I guess is more of a Celeste vibe than I expected from a game about an extreme sport). The mechanical gameplay is sufficient, but the game systems were not really very fun. The levels were much too short to be interesting, and the character customization was minimal. To be fair, I think you get more gear (but not more colors) when you 'rank up' or whatever.”
- “The current gameplay is easier to get down the mountain.”
