i like the idea of only mobile because you do already have shredsauce on the computer which you can use controllers with

I wish it was for Mac, unless I read that wrong and it is, I don't like to play games on my iPhone. I'm still going to but it nonetheless.

It's being released on Dec. 13. It has already released on the Apple App Store in New Zealand because of the time zone, and is working it's way around the world. It will be available on the West Coast of the United States in the morning. It will also go live on Google Play tomorrow morning Pacific Standard Time as well.

APO Snow, idk if I can recommend this game, I was stoked and fhe graphics are good, but the shitty controls and weird SSX style maps make it not worth $2...

Here's the game trailer:

And here's actual game play that I took off an alpha debug version of the game.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMj4o9r_9yc&feature=plcp

The controls are not tilt controls, but are very easy: you use a single finger for carving, spinning and flipping, and tricks.

I know they're not tilt controls, but the one finger setup is terrible. I wish that you guys could just change the controls to be like myTPs, which are great, but that still leaves the horrible level design....when I play a ski game I want the mountain to look as real as possible, with many jumps and rails, not weird pathways with a ton of empty space, weird jumps with no landings and a few ride-on rails scattered around.

I was really stoked for this game, and I love the graphics and look, but the level design and controls are not fun at all and I wish I didn't just spend $2

hoping myTP 3 comes out soon...

all that did was confirm how shitty the controls/gameplay is

-you can't control your spins/flips. A flick before takeoff is a terrible idea and also all the trick names are wrong, it said a rodeo 7 was a "cork 180"... Why can rotations be controller with an analog stick?
-why are all the rails ride on and why is it impossible to do a switch up? Also the way spins out of rails is handled is just as bad as jumps
-why am I picking up multipliers and score boosters and shit? All I want to do is hit jumps and rails, not ski down a ton of empty space collecting power-ups...


flip the game to landscape instead of portrait, add an analog stick to perform actual spins and flips, add 10x more non ride-on and jumps that have actual landings. The graphics and real mountains like Mammoth and Bachelor are awesome, but make the park actually look like Mammoth, not SSX...

Played it.
I like the goals, but as said, needs more jumps and stuff to just play around on. Along with a ollie control and rail tricks.

Has potential for improvement.

Also, I did a cork 1.
Boom

Controls are pretty terrible, there are no rail tricks, and the whole game has a pretty gaper feel to it. Kind of embarrassing for APO in my opinion. May have potential though..

It would be pretty fun if the steering could be used for big mountain lines instead of park. No rail tricks was a huge let down and the jumps are not as fun as the other skiing game.
