    I don't understand how anyone can come on here with a complaint, yet not be specific...

    Anyhoo, L-O-V-I-N-G the game! And I've not even had the opportunity to go head to head with my girlfriend yet. As a matter of fact, I literally fell asleep playing last night. I was exhausted from my day but I had to stay up to buy it ;)

    I knew this was going to be good, yet I'm impressed how good it is! This game feels like an upgrade in every way from the 1st :) GOTW in my opinion! ####

    Agreed felt boring that my first run was over two minutes and I made LOTS of mistakes. I like it but WAY too easy to give me that 'one more try' feeling.

    This game is mostly about completing goals, upgrading, and progressing. I've played numerous times now (enjoying every wacky run) and I've yet to score a silver medal; 500,000 points.

    I guess the game won't be for every character, but believe me: the game has character.

    I think the game is good! It feels like a good book or movie that is just a bit too long. You kind of think if they shortened it a bit it would be more challenging and intense in a good way.

    My third go was 300,000 points.

    I guess if I compare it to other similar games I think the best ones are a quicker more challenging run... FOR ME. Others may prefer it longer of course.

    Jet pack joyride would be a good comparison point for pretty much my ideal pace/difficulty

    Agree that this could be a little more challenging. Like if you do one of the swipe tricks, you shouldn't automatically be able to land it.

    Otherwise this is a great game that took a great formula and evolved it.

    I had $2 left in my account, and I almost bought Geometry Dash. I figured that anything with a 5000+ page thread must be great. Thankfully, it had a lite version. Way too punishing. Would have made my blood boil.

    So I used that $2 for Ski Safari 2, and I am way way happier with my purchase. Yeah, it's not as hard as other games, even same genre games like Alto's Adventure, but you said it, "the game has character." No joke. Loved the first one, knew I'd love this one, and I do.

    I'm pleased they didn't break what made the first one fun, I put many hours into the first one and right away this felt familiar. Almost too familiar. After playing four or five runs, it feels like the same game with a new coat of paint. I'm not off the first world/area yet, but I'm concerned that I'll burn out on it pretty quickly if there isn't much new as far as the gameplay goes.

    This is exactly my thoughts on it so far.

    Enjoying it hugely but it feels like a remake so far and not a sequel.

    Love the game, its as fun as the first. My question to the devs is whether or not you will be adding the courses from the first game woth improved graphics? This game is immensly better than the first and I will probably never play the forst again, and it would be cool to have the original courses on this app too.

    So I've had some time with it and the first thing that seemed to stand out was the amount of animals there are. So far I'm liking the game getting the goals and being able to do tricks and flips, it seems the way to survive longer is though the triple trick boosts as even if I never fall the Avalanche catches me.

    Looks good and with all the quests and things to buy, although so far no luck with getting to 500k for the silver highest on the couple of runs I've done is 150k

    Just had a quick play based on someone's comments earlier

    No touch game 1 135000 scored
    No touch game 2 130000 scored
    Both within a few seconds of 5 minutes survived.

    I'm sorry but it's unplayable for me, I just don't get the difficulty being this easy.

    It should be anyone not even touching for a whole run should die early you'd think when they fall and don't tap to compose they would fail.

    Either way you don't really gain much from a no touch run anyway just a few coins, won't complete any missions or anything like that. But I know you should be able to get far higher scores by actually playing rather than leaving it alone.
     
  18. Congrats! Having lots of fun playing versus mode in the office! :)

    So if multiplayer is local will it still work if someone is on the same account? My fiancées iPhone is linked to my GC and my ITunes as I'm not paying for games twice....not that she really plays many anyway.

    But wondering if I make her download it will it let us play together?
