iOS Game - Grand Mountain Adventure (2020) [/]

Grand Mountain Adventure is a skiing game where you are visiting a mountain riding lifts and then doing various challenges (runs). Most challenges seem to be timed though I did see a jumping challenge. You can also divert from a challenge and wander around finding secret challenges or just admiring the mountain.

Controls are simple. Tap left and right to use your ski poles. Starting from rest requires tapping left and right to get started and after that you tap to turn. Tap both to jump. Swiped down to break, which I never had to do.

There are bonus items you pick up: a backpack to carry things, a telescope to view the mountain from your location, a flowmeter that shows your current flow score (whatever that is), and others. You can also get better ski equipment (after the demo).

The game includes one mountain and to unlock the rest of the game it's $5.

Overall it's a nice looking game but maybe a bit too sandbox-y. I'd rather have the ski runs without the simulation of moving around a mountain like a tourist.
