atmosphere3 positive mentions
story2 negative mentions
  • Quick loading times and easy to pick up and play, making it accessible for casual gamers.
  • Challenging gameplay that requires skill and offers a satisfying experience, especially with a good soundtrack.
  • Fun and nostalgic, reminiscent of classic snowboarding games, with a simple yet engaging art style.
  • Not as relaxing as expected, with a more arcade-style challenge that may not appeal to those seeking a chill experience.
  • Limited character customization options and frustrating level design that requires collecting stars to progress.
  • Lacks the physical snowboarding behavior and depth found in other snowboarding games, making it feel less authentic.

  • music

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    33% positive mentions, 34% neutral mentions, 33% negative mentions

    The music in the game is widely praised for its great variety and atmospheric quality, enhancing the overall experience. Players appreciate the chill and engaging soundtracks that evolve throughout the game, keeping the audio experience fresh and immersive. While some find the handling at slow speeds a bit awkward, the music complements the gameplay well, especially during fast-paced moments.

    • “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.”
    • “The soundtrack is very atmospheric, and really pulls you in.”

  • gameplay

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    40% positive mentions, 20% neutral mentions, 40% negative mentions

    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 sombre (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.”

  • atmosphere

    75% positive mentions, -25% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions

    The atmosphere of the game is described as calming and somber, creating a contrast with its extreme sports theme, which some players found unexpected. While the soundtrack enhances the immersive experience, the overall gameplay mechanics and level design were criticized for being insufficient and lacking depth. Players felt that the short levels and minimal character customization detracted from the enjoyment of the atmosphere.

    • “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 soundtrack is very atmospheric, and really pulls you in.”
    • “It felt like I was having my plate taken away halfway through eating at a restaurant, and it doesn't match the slow, calming style and tones of the atmosphere.”
    • “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.”
