"Rule the mountain"

Reviewed by: Emmanuel Lund / Jun 20, 2012

Alpine Boarder is an addictive fast paced alpine racing game

This version is ads-free.

Usually, simplicity is synonym of addictiveness. Alpine Boarder is the proof. A snowboard racing game with a simple gameplay and set in simple graphics that will get you hooked.

Strap on your snowboard and carve the mountain down while avoiding trees and other snowboarders, jumping down racks and pass through checkpoint gates. If you miss too many gates, you'll get a gate penalty (you'll fall down), what will slow you down. Depending on your position, time and performance you'll receive a bronze, silver or gold medal.

There are two game modes: campaign (up to 20 levels) and time race. The latter will be unlocked after fulfilling the first 10 campaign levels. Likewise, custom built slopes and leaderboard races will be unlocked too.

As we said graphics are simple. However, what makes it really addictive, from our point of view, are its controls: easy tilt controls to steer the guy right or left. Make a fast move (trying to put your device horizontally) to slow down. What's more, from settings you can set acceleremoter sensitivity, distance units and speed, trace, frame rate, sound and many more.

In a few words, a simple yet addictive game that will delight you. A great one.

    Don't tell you the level editor only works on a pc. What's the point of saying its available in the game. Totally misleading. That's really wrong

    Fun, but the full version is the same as the free. What did I pay for?

    Fantastic downhill boarding game, very responsive controls. Would love some more levels especially in the paid version. Map editor is great

    Stick to free version. No benefit to buy. Record keeping on time races flawed...collisions are stupid!
