Lonely Mountains: Downhill Gets A KickstarterVideo Game News Online, Gaming News

This looks like it could be pretty awesome if they handle it right.

Kind of reminds me of Skydive, which was a lot of fun, even if the kinect never quite worked the way it should have.

Check out the trailer below; it's low-fi, but imagine TRIALS: Downhill and I think you can see how great this could be.

Official Announcement:

In this arcade-style mountain bike game it's just you and your bike versus the rocky peaks of the Lonely Mountains. Explore unspoiled nature and take on the challenge to find the fastest route down scenic mountainsides. Take the well-worn trail or find your own path down narrow trails and steep cliff jumps. There's no set path to master - just try not to crash!

Game highlights

Find your path: Take the well-worn trail or search for the hidden areas, there is no set path for the way down the mountain
Unspoiled nature: explore through thick forests and steep canyons - diverse handcrafted mountains full of nature and wildlife await
Many game modes: Race in Time Trial, Hard Time Trial, Challenge Mode, One Life Left Mode and more
More to come: Depending on the success of the Kickstarter there will be several surprises added to the game

“Since we build the first prototype of Lonely Mountains: Downhill two years ago we wanted to create a different kind of sports game. A game that is not only about winning a race or a tournament but about you and the mountain“ says Daniel Helbig, co-founder of the game dev duo Megagon Industries „The last two years were an incredible ride and we can’t wait to take the next step together with all the people who supported and encouraged us to make this Kickstarter campaign.“ adds co-founder Jan Bubenik.
