Something is coming down the mountain behind you.

Whiteout is a one-thumb downhill roguelike. Every slope is a one-minute descent with a yeti on your tail. Tuck to outrun it. Crash, and it closes in. The gap between you and the yeti is your only health bar.

Between slopes, pick your route down three mountains and build your run with Gear that changes how you ski. Dogs become speed boosts. Jumped trees burst into flame. Crashes start paying you.

Features

  • A chase on every slope. Seeded, procedurally built descents, each with a pursuer and a meter that tells you exactly how close it is.
  • Your route, your risk. A branching map of Slopes, Black Diamonds, Lodges, Warming Huts and Events, ending in a Summit boss on each mountain.
  • 30 pieces of Gear across four play styles: speed, air, crash and bait. Find a combo and name it.
  • Tricks. Double-tap to jump; while tucked, swipe up, left or right for a Spread Eagle, Helicopter or Backflip.
  • Avalanches on Black Diamonds: a wall of snow ten meters behind you, beatable only with the right build.
  • Night slopes lit by your headlamp, where all you see of the yeti is its eyes.
  • Bonus stages: Slalom gates, and Burning Man, where you're on fire in a dense forest and every tree you torch is points.
  • The Chalet: earn Patches every run, buy permanent perks, and win Lift Passes to start further up.
  • A Daily run: the same mountain for everyone today.
  • At least one secret. Probably involving a mushroom.

How to play
Drag to steer. Hold your thumb low to tuck. Double-tap to jump. Best on a phone, held upright; tap the fullscreen button. Keyboard works too: arrow keys, Space to jump, Z / X / C for tricks.

It's a playtest build. The art is placeholder. Tap Feedback in the game, then paste your report in our Discord: https://dsc.gg/god-complex-studios
