Good
- Excellent balance of realism and OTT tricks.
- Challenges have that ‘on more time’ feel to them.
- Awesome snow holiday vibe.
Bad
- Challenges can be very samey: boarding fanatics only!
- Steep learning curve for Skate-like controls.
- Physics engine can be unpredictable at times.
Ugly
- “We’ve hired these voice actors and we’re damn well going to get our money’s worth. Let’s repeat each and every soundbite at every opportunity we get! What do you mean, ‘that sounds like brainwashing?’ You ponce…”
Good
- Detailed and caring presentation.
- Enticing simulation game mechanics.
- Fun collection of in-game references.
Bad
- Over-reliant on real-life hardware launches.
- Sound is rather annoying.
- Screen doesn’t scale to hardware and is very small.
Ugly
- “Silly Android and its silly Back button and silly multitasking nonsense. This is originally an Iphone game! Pressing the Back button will close the game entirely without warning. That’ll teach’em how to use a REAL smartphone!”

Good
- Very clever and great concept of ‘Number Tetris’.
- Beautiful presentation.
- No time pressure.
Bad
- Variations aren’t as inventive as the main concept.
- Awful sound effects.
- Can’t seem to make its mind up between level progression or score hunting.
Ugly
- “Let’s kill off players by slowly letting more and more 1′s appear in the game grid at stages where they are impossible to remove. It’ll defeat them eventually!”
