Description
This is a game about tricks, jump courses, racing and exploration.
Gain experience by doing tricks and completing missions.
This is an early alpha of this game, so there are a lot of bugs and things to improve. Still I hope somebody will enjoy it. Things are very unbalanced as well so I hope you have patience with this.
It might run a bit slow on older computers. I havn't done any optimizations yet.
How to Play
Esc : Toggle pause
On Ground
---------
Arrowkeys or (WASD) : turn,accelerate, brake
In air
------
Left-Right : Controls rotation
Mouse motion controls the trick wheel
Mouse click performs currently selected trick
Space tweak trick
* In order to spin bigger you have to prepare the rotation by jumping while in a turn.
* When riding you get a speed boost if you beat your previously best trick during that ride

nvm my jump comment, I understand the system now, and it works quite well... The game has huge potential, and I would really like to see what the final version will feel like. Keep on working with this and hopefully you can make an awesome game!

Yeah I guess controlling grabs with the mouse didn't work very well. About the stickiness to the snow was a quick fix for another problem when the hill is really steep. I will change the gravity to feel more natural when that is solved.
You're right, it is annoying when you crash because releasing a grab too late. The better you get at the trick AIR (no grab) the release animation plays faster as with all the tricks. I wanted the skills to really have an impact in the world. The challenge is to balance it all. Perhaps you should start out with full progress in the AIR skill. I'll experiment with that.
I had flips the way you described, but I didn't like it that way, it was too hard to control, but I'm working on another solution.
Ok, glad you don't think it's rubbish EPR89 :)

Thanks for your input! Perhaps you're right about the exp penalty, makes sense that you might need more exp to complete the challenge.

I don't like that if you don't jump at a kicker you stick to the snow. Come on! There is a vertical drop at the end of a kicker. When you have some speed you don't fall straight down. Use the traditional button control for the tricks. It's nice to see that people try to experiment, but you have to accept that this experiment was a failure. One more thing about the tricks. I noticed that you crash when you land and the animation is not over completely, even if the character actually has released the board already. This was something that bugged me in Tony Hawk and it bugs me here too. It just doesn't feel right.
