That Flipping Mountain News

While I love how the flipping mechanic turned out for "Just Flip", I have started to wonder if it's enough to carry the game.

I kept having the feeling that the game needed a better "Hook". Well, I already had a skiing mechanic that people seemed to like in Just Ski, so why not combine them.

The above is a very rough, down and dirty, prototype of flipping combined with skiing.

I would love to know what you think of the idea.

I finally finished the new background graphics for Just Flip. Above is how it looks in action.

It took a bit to land on this final design. See below to see how things shook out over time.

Here is how things looked with no background:


Here is my 1st pass at a background. The parallax for this one did not work well and the mountains sort of looked like pine trees to me.


Getting closer. I liked the way this looked, still pretty minimal which I wanted.


Trees!. This one is identical to the one above, but I added some "trees". This idea came from looking at Alto's Adventure screenshots. :-)


That's it. Background is complete so now I can move on to other things!

Down a bit of a rabbit hole with these background graphics, but they are fun to mess with and I think they add a nice touch to the game.
