About the Game

Head out to Moonlight Mountain at midnight with your glowing snowboard and snowmobile, but be careful out there... Sometimes when you hit the slopes at night, the slopes hit back. GlowBoard: WinterFest is a celebration of couch gaming and nostalgic snowy sillyness, including split-screen and online snowboard battles, snowmobile races and a unique puzzle arcade snow fort destruction mode. Race against other local riders or challenge AI, try and find some power-ups along the trail to make things a little more interesting. Welcome to GlowBoard, let's ride!

Featuring Three Unique Game Modes:

GlowBoard

  • Local 4-player split-screen snowboard action *

  • Take the action online with matchmaking

  • Race or battle it out for points on the slopes

  • Several vastly nasty different trails to ride

GlowMobile

  • Snowmobile combat racing!

  • Race online or against AI

  • Split-screen snowmobile madness!

  • King of the Hill survival mode

NightFort

  • Unique game mode with familiar billiards-inspired rules

  • Place, angle and size snow ramps then jump off those ramps

  • Use your body to try and destroy a series of fort puzzles

  • Play your friend locally or solo puzzle challenge mode

Including...

Battle Races

  • Pickup powerups galore! Use them to conquer the slopes. (Optionally)

  • Bombs, bananas, lightning, and more! Including the dreaded yellow snowballs

  • Solo adventures or AI to race against (GlowBoard or GlowMobile)

Lodge

  • Warm & cozy, immersive & interactive lodge menu as home base

  • Head back to the lodge to check out your new unlocks and customize your ride

  • Choose from a hundred unlockable riders each with a variety of skin and outfit colors, dozens of hats, tons of snowboard designs and snowmobile colors

Plus everything is glowing and the game takes place at night, did I forget to mention that? The mountain is more fun at night!

*Multiplayer local split-screen requires multiple controllers, this game was designed with controllers in mind so plug one in for the best experience

Developed with love by an independent solo developer in Florida who misses the snow.
