  • The game offers a nostalgic experience reminiscent of classic ski resort tycoon games, appealing to fans of the genre.
  • Players appreciate the sandbox mode and the ability to design their own ski resorts with minimal restrictions.
  • Despite its flaws, some users find the game addictive and enjoyable, especially for those who love skiing and resort management.
  • The user interface is clunky and feels unpolished, making navigation frustrating and detracting from the overall experience.
  • The game suffers from numerous bugs, crashes, and performance issues, leading to a frustrating gameplay experience.
  • Limited building options and a lack of depth in gameplay mechanics hinder the potential of the game, leaving players wanting more.
  • graphics
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game have received largely negative feedback, with many users noting bugs, glitches, and overall weak visual quality. Comparisons to other titles highlight that even simpler games have better graphics, and while some see potential for improvement, the current state is considered inadequate for a modern release.

    • “The graphics are very weak.”
    • “Ok, so the graphics on the game aren't great, and there are some minor glitches, but this game is excellent if you have the patience.”
    • “Low graphics (this can be turned into a pro, but at this time and stage the game is just so limited that it should have been put on better graphics. Now if the game is really expanded, then I would accept the game in this condition, but really, it does not deserve to be placed higher.)”
  • story
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect of the game is criticized for its confusing campaign structure, where missions that require later unlocks are presented as side missions early on, leading to frustration. Players also note technical issues, such as crashes, which detract from the overall experience. While the innovative mission-switching mechanic is acknowledged, it does not compensate for the campaign's shortcomings.

    • “You must change between different missions during the campaign - very innovative.”
    • “At first, you are confused, and if you, like me, start off in sandbox, you will probably need to go to the campaign and try a few missions to understand the basics.”
    • “Combine this with the other issues with this game, including a campaign which has missions that require you to unlock stuff from later missions, but are sprinkled in as 'side missions' early on, buildings that you build always have their prices lower than what they should be for you to make any money, and several other minor issues and you'll find yourself wondering why it's even listed for $9.99 on Steam.”
    • “At first you are confused, and if you, like me, start off in sandbox, you will probably (maybe not all will) need to go to campaign and try a few missions to understand the basics.”
  • gameplay
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Gameplay is generally considered acceptable, though it can be frustrating due to poorly designed mechanics and repetitive tasks, such as running at high speed while monitoring statistics. The slope creation feature is straightforward but lacks depth and is visually unappealing, resembling simplistic drawings.

    • “The gameplay is engaging, but at times it feels like you're just running at 4x speed while watching the hourly changing statistics, which are well-measured.”
    • “The slope creation mechanic is straightforward, but it feels somewhat limited in its application.”
    • “The slope creation mechanics have a simplistic design that may not appeal to everyone.”
    • “It might be a little frustrating at times because some of the game mechanics are very poorly designed.”
    • “Gameplay is okay, but sometimes you find yourself doing nothing but running at 4x speed and watching the hourly changing statistics.”
    • “The slope creation mechanic is straightforward but very limited.”
  • humor
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the humor in the game to be highly engaging and addictive, contributing significantly to their overall enjoyment.

    • “But I don't care... it was so funny to play, and it made me addicted.”
  • stability
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is generally acceptable, with some minor glitches reported, but players suggest that it remains enjoyable for those willing to overlook these issues.

    • “The game crashes frequently, making it nearly unplayable at times.”
    • “I experienced constant lag and frame drops, which ruined the overall experience.”
    • “There are numerous bugs that disrupt gameplay, leading to frustrating moments.”
  • music
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music has been criticized for being monotonous and reminiscent of elevator music, with users expressing a desire for a more engaging and thematic soundtrack, such as ski-resort-style tunes.

    • “The sound is a boring elevator-style track - please add some kind of ski-resort-like music.”
  • replayability
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's replayability is significantly hindered by poorly designed maps and the lack of random generation, forcing players to repeatedly engage with the same environments. Additionally, gameplay issues, such as skiers getting stuck due to lift placement errors and minimal income from skiers, further detract from the overall experience.

    • “Each map is poorly designed, with no randomly generated maps, so you'll have to play the same maps repeatedly if you continue playing the game for a while. This significantly reduces replayability.”
    • “The lack of variety in maps means that after a short time, the game feels repetitive and lacks the incentive to keep playing.”
    • “With limited map options and no randomization, the game quickly loses its appeal, making it hard to stay engaged for long periods.”
