Jiblife- They create a Kickstarter campaign with what looks to be a sick game from the video they had(camp of champs level with groomers etc), why did they just throw that all away? also deleted facebook page...

Snow the game- They get riders(Wallisch, Henshaw, Hall) characters, while wallisch even had a snow sticker on his skis at one point. They had created a good looking game, and then just disappears, also no more facebook page.

thanks malcolm for being awesome and your game will forever be the best.

Console games cost a LOT of money to develop and distribute. More money than those guys had.

SNOW: The Facebook page is still up (https://www.facebook.com/snowthegame) and they just released some new shots today. They're a small studio which looks like they're making real progress, give them some time. Games are much more difficult to produce than you probably think.

it costs a lot of money to build a game that complicated for a small niche in the gaming market

The link said the page was broken or removed for me... kind of a bummer if they actually dropped out. i was excited to see how that game turned out...

I hear you can only use Full Tilts in Shreadsauce, so I don't play the other games.

The link wasn't broken, there was just an extra bracket { ) } in the end.
Here is on without:

Gnarshmallow gets played lots, though not as much as it did 4 years ago.

I got flips working on the Android version tonight.

as sad as it is, there just isnt enough demand for a console ski game

The game works on iPhones and iPads. Releasing and rapidly updating games through Apple is a headache so I'm procrastinating. Here's a pic from testing it out on an iPad 1
