Questions
Hello,

I have a question. Is the game only for people with sadomasochistic tendencies or also for casual, relaxed players?

The demo gives the impression that it is designed to be more difficult ("Git Gut" comments are ignored by me and blocked if necessary), the next problem is that it is a bit too much trial and error. You never know whether a jump is too high or whether it is just about doable.

I don't have the best memory. You can look at the route beforehand and then see where a route to the next checkpoint makes a long curve so that you could potentially take a shortcut.

The fact that you have to remember this plus the not always advantageous camera seems to me to potentially cause a lot of frustration when the demo levels already show problems with it.

Basically, I liked the concept, but stress in games and tryhard is not my thing.

Perhaps a developer can say something about this? Anyway, I'll try to reach level 10 so that if it's for casuals, I get the bonus if I buy it.

What's the deal with Zen mode, by the way? A kind of free driving, and if so, only in the unlocked levels or in all of them? Because it wouldn't be very Zen-like if I had to endure the non-Zen hardcore experience first to then be able to enjoy it in Zen mode. Just as a side note.^^

The camera setup and angle in both this game and the dev's previous downhill mountain bike game, sometimes produce those "vague" jumps and it can be hard to angle your guy right due to the perspective.

If you are interested in a relaxing experience, take a look at Grand Mountain Adventure on Steam as well. You get twelve pretty vast mountain slopes that you can free-ride and zen-ride with no distractions or "missions".

You do need to do a few tasks in each mountain to unlock the next, but the unlocks happen at 15 of 50+ gizmos collected in each map, so it's never a grind or much of a chore.

Grand Mountain is doing a great job at keeping me busy until this game is out.
