We are excited to announce the launch of iOS game Downhill Supreme. We're looking forward to popularizing downhill cycling and active lifestyles among the youth and gaming communities. |
Some of the features of the game that are likely to attract the eye of gaming enthusiasts include 48 thrilling tracks, three stunning locations, bike builder that lets players build their dream bike by using 27 branded parts and three different control options including tilt, joystick and button. All this simply means that there are a lot of options for players to have fun the way they like it. In addition, a majority of DCLs will be available free of charge. |
It's amazing that we met the right people to develop such an amazing iOS game. Starting from a physic's engineering genius to contacting with industry's leading companies, it's all been a great experience. We have also made many new friends during the period to share our passions for gaming and cycling with. |
We want to say special thanks to Pinkbike, DVO Suspension, Cane Creek, Spank and Devinci. The brands and amazing people, who believed in this project from the get go. |

Now poop time is fun time!
Your demo, is worth at least 8 months of work here, and its a dream that will always be a dream for many.
I know you dont care, and noone cares, because you can only say "go to work, earn more money etc.", but try to put yourself on my place. Im not American, and Im not in the USA either, but I have been working abroad, and I know how it feels earning good money, and how it is when you go to shop, and you can buy whatever you feel like.
My first real MTB was a hardtail, had a Manitou 3, caliper brakes, LX shitters (sp intended), and was a pile of shit. I broke the hanger which was not replaceable in 2 weeks, the fork filled with water, blew up elastomers, dropped the lowers off the rest of the fork and wore out the stanchions in a few months. The brake pads lasted 3 rides, the rims were warped in one. Tires were garbage, brakes were for show, shifting was awful after a week and needed new cables at least every two weeks. And this was just doing what would be considered mellow XC now. It wouldn't have lasted one day at Whistler. Cost you ask? $3K and I was making $5.75 an hour. My niterider was $450 and was 12 watts lo and 20 watts hi of blistering halogen that blew bulbs and ran out of power before the ride was done despite a battery that weighed more than a carbon XC hardtail frame does today. So if you think you're getting shitty deal now, pull your head out of your ass. You don't have to buy a $6K DH bike, or a $10K one either. Get a used one if you must. Or buy a killer $3K all mountain bike and go shred hard on it until you move out of mom's basement and get a job making more the minimum wage. Your complaining not only sounds ridiculous to people who have been biking for as long as you've been alive, but it grows very tiresome seeing it time and time again. You probably can't afford a trip to Whistler either but that doesn't mean it isn't good value, or that it should be made shittier and cheaper to fit your budget.
/grumpy old man rant.
But there is allways the other end of the specturm , with the V_10C with enve every thing coming in at 8.5k , do you need a 8.5k bike ? I don't think so but it's nice to have the option for people who can afford it or feel they need it.
My scalp is roughly 3.5k on paper and love it to bits and I feel no need for anything more ( don't stop me from dreaming though )
Anyway I just realised we have totally derailed poor reinholds thread promoting his product , or maybe we have brought more attention with our rambling who knows
Ride a hardtail and get rad and be grateful that people were dropping $5K on crap 20 years ago to drive R&D on the deal of the century you are getting now. I had a $5K bike when I was making $7.50 an hour. What's stopping you?
Feeling entitled much?
Some people want the best and are prepared to pay for it. A racer looking to shave a second off their time or a poser who thinks that ka$hima really makes him a better rider. I don't care, their investment in shiny purple parts improves every other bike in the line up.
Look at some of the cheaper Norcos, Giants. ect. BRILLIANT bikes for the money! Some newer trail bike are even up to a few days in the Park, so you only need one bike. We have never had it better than this. But we all drank the carbon kool-aid and no one is happy!
Btw, why did I get a '-3' for my comment above?? what's wrong with it? i mean i am just telling a truth that as long as there are consumers who are willing to pay, the manufacturers will give high end products to scrap the profit as much as they can; you can't change situation unless the market changes; it is fairly objective, and it does not mean i am on the side of bike manufacturers and agree with the high prices of bikes.
Invest in good equipment once, and take care of it, you'll find riding is much cheaper than you think it is. After all, most trails are free to use!
People just need to think of ways around their problems.
It's not about how much you spend on the bike as long as you enjoy riding it, just get out there and put the wheels in the dirt.
A lot of the geo, suspension set ups, weight, why the wheels are better and the technologies that go into making it a perfect machine are overwhelming to most new riders.
to bad its DEAD!!!!!!!! >:-(
Just saying.
Stay tuned to our Facebook: www.facebook.com/downhillsupreme If you follow us, you already know that we'll be not only giving away Cane Creek Double Barrel but we'll do full DH setup giveaway later this summer: Commencal DH v3 frame, DVO suspension and fully Spanked components!
Cheers to everyone and keep on riding your bike and playing the game when you're done riding!
Some ideas i came up with after playing (50% completed):
- I really like the line graph at the bottom, very helpfull! It could be more zoomed out (too see further ahead)
- Lean buttons are a little big on the iPad screen so they are a bit far apart for fast corrections (lazy thumbs here) No biggie, but they could be smaller for iPad resolution? Would be nice.
- Lean in all modes (touch, tilt, joystick) could be a bit more sensitive. At high speeds its impossible to do quick correction to avoid faceplants or broken tailbones. I understand why you chose not to make it over sensitive but it could be faster for my taste.
- Rider customization, just the colors for starters. I'd like my outfits to match the bike.
- The paddling animation looks a bit akward, but now i'm just being a nitpicker..
- Another visual idea: More detailed terrain textures for better esthetics. Or something like a middle background layer with trees, banners and other stuff (between fore- and background) moving like 50% slower as the rider. Gives depth in this 2D environment.
Overall its a great start and it will give us many hours of fun on the rainy days! Can't wait for the first updates! Thanks!
PS: i feel like Cam Zink at Rampage on the 'Bad Habits' track..
How am I supposed to afford new REAL parts if you make me loose my job trying to earn DIGITAL new parts? Would love one of those Zeroed G2's, nice inclusion. Keep up the great work.
Can't wait till it comes to android!
But way too short. Was done after one day. A few times it's hard to get 3 stars, but still easy.
I don't get the point between the different bikes. Are you running faster or sth like that?!
Hope the levels are getting more gnarly.
Thank you for your interest!
The crowd goes wild!
When are the new tracks coming? Got 3 stars in every level within a few hours
2) f*ck I've got a blackberry =(
WTF?!?!?! 2 lean forward buttons???
"amazing physics" my ass!
so with an old iphone you can't play it!!!
Apple...
Horrible game. I have three stars in all but 5 tracks in less than an hour and a half.
You do not notice a significant difference in frames and components (maybe a bit from the generics).
There is no tuning, so the bike is super under damped and bounces off landings.
Suspension is way to soft and non-adjustable.
Give your head a shake.
I payed my 99 centavos. Worth it to know that maybe some little kids will learn there is such a thing as DH and might even look it up.
