Snowboard Cross

गेम के बारे में

3D snowboard cross with one finger: out of the gate with three or five other riders, pump the rollers, sit in a wake and find room to pass. A 36-level Tour at six venues, knockout cups and an endless Gauntlet.

Airporio Snowboard Cross is 3D head-to-head racing you play with one finger. Four or six riders leave the start gate together and the first across the line wins. Tap the moment the gate drops to pull yourself out, slide left or right to turn, and stand up hard in the dips of the rollers to pump speed out of them.

The Tour is 36 levels at six venues, each with its own snow, light and air: hard pack on a clear morning, blue ice in the cold, soft snow under a snowfall, spring snow at sunset, a city hill at night under coloured floodlights and a high course under a storm front. Every venue has a qualifying run against the clock, a holeshot sprint, a rhythm run that is nearly all rollers, a full heat, a heat where the others leave the gate before you, and a knockout cup. Earn up to three stars a level. Then the Gauntlet: heat after heat against faster fields on harder courses, with three lives and no last stage.

Underneath is the real sport. Every course is built of banked turns, rollers, table tops, step-ups and step-downs, each sized for the speed it is ridden at. Your rider's legs are simulated: they soak the ground up, they gain speed when they push in a dip and lose it when they push out of time, and a landing they cannot take costs speed. A bank holds more speed than the flat, the wake of the rider in front cuts the wind, and riders never touch: the one behind has to find a way round. The cups run quarter-finals, semi-finals, a small final and a big final.

Every rider is a full 3D athlete on a board, regular or goofy, in their own race bib. Four camera views starting from behind your rider, a pump cue on screen, a funk theme with its own Music button, and eleven languages. One self-contained file with no network requests, so it plays offline at 38,000 feet.

कैसे खेलें

1. The race. Four or six riders leave the gate together and the first across the line wins. In the knockout rounds the first half of each heat goes through. Every banked turn has a flag on its inside: ride round the outside of it. Inside a flag is a disqualification.
2. The gate. Tap (or press Space) the moment the gate drops to pull yourself out. Pull early and you are hauling on a closed gate.
3. Turn. Press anywhere and slide left or right (arrow keys, or a controller's left stick). Use the banks: a board on a bank holds far more speed than one on the flat.
4. Pump. Rollers give speed to legs that work them. Stand up hard in every dip: slide up, tap, or press Space or the up key, once for each dip. Out of time, the same push costs speed.
5. Low. Pull down (or the down key) to fold low out of the wind. Let go before a big shape or a landing so the legs have room to take it.
6. Camera. The camera button (or C) changes the view: behind the rider, close behind, from the helmet, or high and wide.
7. Sound. The music button (or N) turns the music on and off; M turns all sound off.
