As you go speeding down Shred Lord mountain, you’ll need to avoid pitfalls like bushes and trees while successfully skiing around and through gates. If you ram into an object or miss a gate you’ll slow down substantially and allow the avalanche to catch up to you, so shred like there’s no tomorrow! You’re able to control your skier’s horizontal movements via on-screen buttons, and you can leap into the air by tapping and holding with two fingers and then releasing. Collect pine coins during your trip down the mountain to unlock shortcuts and purchase gear. The game includes four mountain sections, and achievements and leaderboards via Game Center.
