This looks pretty cool, but I don't really like the look of the snowmobiles/sleds. I am being a little nitpicky though, and the though has lots of nitpicker-ness in it.
Lol, I don't think you'll be worrying about the shape and design of your vehicle when you're speeding down the track!
Definitely looks awesome! LostWinds devs behind... Hopefully they won't have to go through updates to bring a solid control method this time around...
Thanks very much for all your lovely comments we can't wait to release the game and see what you all think. We're pulling out all the stops to get this out in time for May. Well those of us that worked on LostWinds actually worked on the original Wii version. We're pretty sure you will find the controls in this game as solid as a rock.
The name kind of suggests that we will sling the cars in an Angry Birds style, is this true and if yes, how do you steer? Tilt? Arrows? Swipe?
having tryed the beta (thanks to Josh!) I can tell you that the controlls work perfectly and that with the way this game works it would be kind of hard to get them wrong.
I looked but can't find any mention of this so pardon me if this has already been answered in a post or article somewhere but is this going to be an async game similar to Disc Drivin'?
its tap and release, like tiny wings - sort of. no async yet, but its a cool idea that we'd consider for an update!
We've added some new screens to our website. Some are from our shiny new iPad, click on them to see the detail http://www.snowbolt.com/index.php/games/slingshotracing
Should be submitting this bad boy by the end of the week - very excited! Here is a night shot, with the Steam Crusher, check it out.
