The game forces you into a specific style of gameplay leaving no room for the player to choose their own method of getting down the mountain. Try a slower control based style of gameplay? Prepare for a man on a llama that can trot faster than you can snowboard down the mountain side. Attempt a jump/backflip heavy gamestyle? Get ready to fall down a massive gourge since you didn't mantain your speed well enough. Whenever you attempt to simply enjoy the mechanics of Alto's Adventure the game punishes you for it. I admit the game concept had merit, but the games leaderboard system kills any chance of just enjoying the game.
