*meant inspired, not styled...
Get over the goofy characters and this one has some great track design and is a lot of fun. Been on Steam for a little while. Pretty sure it will be cross play and all that. They've been working heavily on their online / multiplayer functionality for a couple patches now.

Indie and has horrible graphics. I was excited when I clicked this post.

 

[Audible Silence]

reminds me of snowboard kids

 

[Spukc]

Reminds me of chewing glass instead of playing on my n64

 

[TintoConCasera]

Read that as SlopCrashers and thought it was the latest Ubisoft kino.

Game looks cute and fun tho.

 

[March Climber]

Great news for a good game.

Heard good things about it but I could never get around the animals and goofy aspect of it, it removes the stylish aspect of SSX.
I had the exact same issue with Wave Break, which is basically the same thing, but tony hawk inspired instead:

Apparently it's fun, but... I don't know, there's something about the look and the animal thing that kind of ruins it for me.

I think the stylish /cool aspect is important in Tony Hawk and SSX, when you pull off crazy tricks / combos, and when instead it's animals doing goofy moves, it doesn't have the same impact. I don't doubt that they might be good games, but it's very different.

Cool for people who wanted a console release though.

Yeah.. was excited to click on the trailer, then I saw the animals....

Then it got worse with graphics..

And it got even worse with that sense of speed..


yup I am out.

This has NOTHING on SSX. NOT a GODDAMN thing.

Really? The graphics are not that bad...I don't like the animal shit but the game is definitely fun.

Compared to say -



This is the only thing even comparable for modern ssx type games. I personally dislike Tricky Madness graphics, also the snow doesn't deform it looks like shit like you're just gliding.

I think Tricky Madness still has a ways to go so I don't want to count it out, but I also think this is why Slopecrashers needs a demo (and I hope it comes with the console release), so that I can respond to posts like //DEVIL// 's and suggest he should try it.

 

[Instant_Classic]

Looks terrible.

Sorry, just being honest.

Would need a demo to further assess tbh.

With that name, the city track, and other obvious inspirations, I'm a little surprised EA legal hasn't been summoned.

Looks fun enough, as long as it controls well. I am okay with the wacky animal vibes I suppose, but couldn't they also add in some human skins? I mean, what does it hurt in the grand scheme of things? Let players choose to be a person or an animal. It's just a few more skins.

I'd play a demo of this if they release one.

 

[Fafalada]

Not gonna lie - if the intention was to promote this as 'BootLeg SSX' they've succeeded 150% - and by bootleg I mean one of these:


I guess it could still be fun - but the presentation really is an active detractor here - it'd be far more interesting had they gone for an original look instead.

Yea this doesn't look good either (and it's a more blatant copy for sure) but that doesn't make the first game retroactively better.
Also I mostly ignore EA stuff until well - it gets to something resembling a release date.

Appreciate the lookout! I'm on PS5 and Switch 2 haha

"It's like SSX!"
* Clicks thread*
*Game is nothing like SSX*

Heckin' bamboozled.

 

[Digital-Aftertaste]

The ease of calling it 'Slop-Cashers' is very strong here.

 

[sharp weiner]

Yup. Disappointing

 

[drotahorror]

I dunno I don't think it looks that awful, I'm just itchin for some SSX games to play but yeah fuck.

 

[darrylgorn]

The art design and UI looks like they ripped off infinite minigolf.

 

[March Climber]

Don't worry about it, as long as you had fun playing the game that's what matters. I enjoyed it myself. Sometimes people tend to judge things by aesthetic first, gameplay second. It is what it is

 

[ShirAhava]

uhhhhh I think I'll stick with SSX 4

Yeah was hyped when I opened this trailer but left with sadness and disdain.

Shame on you OP!

I played Tricky Madness and it's absolutely amazing. I even made a thread about it not long ago, but many people in that thread had a negative reaction too, I'm really not sure why:

Thread 'SSX Fans, check out "Tricky Madness", it's really promising'

May 27, 2025

Two weeks ago, there was this thread here, where someone in the replies mentioned Tricky Madness, it was the first time I heard about it, and I'm surprised I never heard about it sooner:

I waited two weeks before trying it, because I wanted to wait until the new big update came out, two days ago.
I have now been playing it for two days, and it's... just amazing.

If you're into the extreme sport arcade of the 2000s, if you love Tony Hawk and SSX, this is exactly what we want. I've been waiting for 13 years...

It's obviously still in an early state, but the gameplay is already really good and it's really shaping up to be what I want out of a SSX clone, it's the closest thing to SSX that I played. I spent hours just trying to perfect my scores on each track, the gameplay is great enough to want to do that.
