Thank you for making a game like Snowboard Kids
I was realy surprised to see this game in the german YouTube show "Game Two".
So I had do try it instandly.
(Still waiting for a Snowboard Kids Remake/Collection, or the next titel after the dissapointing Nintendo DS Game)

Snowboard Kids, and a game with a red squirrel, are my two most beloved N64 games.
Nearly every year, I play some rounds of Snowboard Kids.
Still remember the cheat code with the 16 button inputs from the main menu till today.

Realy enjoyed the demo a lot.
It's still in alpha and needs some polish, but so far, I love it.
Plays a lot like Snowboard Kids (holding down to "charge" jumping, and release to jump, Pushing back to break. Two different Item types).
End of the round to get in to the elevator, still one of the best lap transion you can have in a game. ^^
And the music on the maps is on point (still have all track files from SK on my phone :D ).
Like the idea of the parachute (press Jump in Air) and the boost.

Some suggestions:
- I don't know why, but maybe the camera behind has to be a little bit more above the character. A lot of the time, I don't see the jumps. And maybe zoom a little bit more in on the chars.
- The elevator section could be a little bit more chaotic, yes more chaos!
- The first track is cool so far. But I find it a little bit "to much" or to long. Maybe to much overload from different things on the map. Make it a little bit less confusing, shorter, and more laps (like Rookie Mt.). Maps with 3 Round (the city map maybe) would be cool.
- Jumping feels a little bit strange. Don't know why. But a lot of times, I let go of the jump button to late.
- Why are there blue crystals on the map? And what does every weapon do? Maybe put in in the tutorial secion.
- Had a little bit a bad time to read the HUD in race. I was searching the lap track and my position all the time. Looking left top for the items was strange too, maybe put it in the middle. Don't know why, maybe need more playtime.
- It's the demo menu, but maybe put the different race types in different menus.

So far, I love it. Keep up the good work.
Wishlisted it instand, will look forward for the full release.
I think, we have a day one buy here!

Hey sorry i didnt get back to you sooner - glad you liked the demo!!
Thanks for the feedback too! I read it before - most of it was just not really changable anymore since I was already working too much to get the things finished that I started 😅😅 But there were a lot of enhancements since gamescom - so I hope you enjoy the better version now :D

Thanks for the respons.
Maybe you could take some of my suggestions.
For future updates, small changes, don't know ^^
I will look in to the full release, and realy hope for a Snowboard Kids revival.

Yeah i thought so too!! Especially like camera changes should be a good addition anyway. And some enhancements to the UI sure. And tutorials on the items would also be great 😅😅

Oh and with the crystals you buy stuff in the ingame shop - that wasnt in the demo but is now in the full version :) Just noticed that i havent answered that.

Thanks!!
