## The full game

Three distinct runners bring different ways to carry speed: Flow’s charged jumps and aerial control, Rook’s jetpack and movement weapons, and Stormcaller’s lightning-powered movement. Explore procedural mountains and other worlds through missions, Time Trials, challenges, Free Ski and five-stage Expeditions, with replays, ghosts, live races and global leaderboards.

## The story behind the game

RIDGERUNNERS is being made by Andy, the solo developer behind ultramegasuper games: father of three boys, a web developer by day, and a former Tribes: Ascend fanatic.

When Andy wanted to play Tribes, he couldn’t find anything that scratched the same skiing itch he once had. Tribes’ frictionless movement had stayed with him, but he wanted a way to master the movement and measure his progress without having to survive firefights against players with decades of practice.

The answer was to build the game he wanted to play. RIDGERUNNERS takes that love of skiing and combines it with movement ideas from other favourite games, giving players a toolkit built around control, speed, and maintaining momentum.

The idea spent several years in Andy’s head before he began building it in Godot.
