I've been playing with this game for a few days. I LOVE the design. Simple, clean and elegant. Last night I just paid the $1.99 upgrade, which improved the experience.

Thought this said airplane simulator and was really confused when I downloaded the app! This is amazing though, such beautiful design! How did you learn how to be such a great designer in the first place?

@davechenell I used to work in mobile gaming and am very familiar with the challenges of getting attention in such a crowded space. How are you marketing Powder?

@rrhoover Honestly we got really lucky and got featured by Apple in a bunch of countries. Right now we don't really have a marketing strategy, still working on it. You're right it is very competitive. Right now we are just trying to make nice things and hope people notice :)

Certainly gave me a bit of nostalgia this morning, great work on the game. Have you thought of adding some sort of alternative game play based on time instead of distance? For instance; how far can you get in 30 seconds? Or how quickly can you reach 1000 meters?

@timithmcdoyle Thanks! Yep! Great idea! I have a few new gamemodes planned. - Slalom (speed + gates) - Course (time trials on specifically made courses) - Maybe one day freestyle course with jumps? Good suggestion on a purely time mode. That would be an interesting one, just 30 seconds of chaos!

My favorite game as a kid was SkiFree, and this caused some serious nostalgia! I love the design as well. Nicely done, @davechenell

This game is awesome, and definitely captures some of the magic of carving turns. Even when you hit a rock and smash into pieces, it's oddly satisfying.

@mikeharmer Thank you, awesome to hear. Even though the gameplay is very simple I tried to make it "feel good" :)
