✦ AI summary

Players praise the game's solid SSX-inspired gameplay, intuitive controls, and smooth performance, with many expressing excitement about its potential and eagerness for future updates.

First of all, it's a killer game. Fan of SSX Tricky? Get the game. Fan of 1080? Get the game. So there's that. The problem is that the game is clearly heavily in development. I'm writing "clearly" because I'm hoping the dev has not abandoned the game, that would bring a tear to my eye.

Do you have any idea how long it has been since a game brought me joy? Not just for a second, or a moment of nostalgia - prolonged joy. Years. This game? That's what it gave me. I am legitimately struggling to not write an essay's worth of praise. And the main reason I'm managing to resist is so I can go back to playing. I had such incredibly high hopes for this game LONG before it was released into early access, and I'm overjoyed to see that if anything, this exceeds them considerably. Game are ... hugely important to me, in a lot of ways - same as with most people. But a factor that isn't so widely shared is that I have major physical limitations in daily life. One key aspect of which is how much I can use my hands without causing injury or pain, something that has only shortened over time. This means that controller usage isn't something I can handle freely like I used to. A lot of games are effectively out of my reach these days, no matter how much I'd like it to be otherwise. However, I can still use a keyboard just fine. I'll admit, I wasn't sure how well this type of game would translate over, since I've got a fairly small niche of what I do on the computer. …

This game is addictive. It's got the trick elements of SSX combined with even more speed. It's got that 'one more go' aspect going for it. I'm enjoying playing it.

Very Good Tricks-Designing! I was waiting for sooo long, to get a Game wich is: - Running Smooth - Running on MacOS - Is inspired of the old SSX Games - Has a Good Effects & much moore! You did a great Job! Idk if this is a Fan Projekt or a side hussle Projekt, cause this Game was very Cheap. I highly recommend to "increase" the Pricing. This should be minimum costs 20-30€/ USD. I saw your history on many YT Channels and how you put all your Efforts and Love in this Game! Don't let you go down! Keep up the Great work! There are many SSX Fans out there, who loved playing kind of this Games in their Child Hood. Many Many thanks to you for providing me that very good feeling of old SSX Games!

For the price this is a great game to scratch that SSX craving itch. It till says it's early access and some features aren't actually open yet, so it feels a bit incomplete but if it fully releases it'll be a steal
