digitec plays: Winter sports debacle with "When Ski Lifts Go Wrong"

The Swiss are known for their safe, solid and indestructible constructions. We bring some chaos to the order and build rickety ski lifts in the new Switch title "When Ski Lifts Go Wrong". Friday from 11:30 a.m. in the livestream with Simon and Raphael.

When "Bridge Builder" meets "Line Rider", the result is something like "When Ski Lifts Go Wrong". You build ski lifts in 30 challenges with a limited budget and test them on daring winter sports enthusiasts. Of course, some things go wrong. You build the most stable structures possible in 2D, stretch steel cables over the rollers and hope that the lift will work. Unfortunately, this rarely happens. Far too often, winter sports enthusiasts tumble out of your lift down the steep slope. Then it's back to the drawing board.

On the boards that mean the world

But you're not only active as a constructor, you can also get involved in the gameplay yourself and hurtle down the slopes on a snowboard, skis and even a snowmobile. Especially in sandbox mode, the game is more reminiscent of the classic browser game "Line Rider", as you always want to build new, more daring constructions and then ride them.

Strive for the ski lift of your dreams.
Strive for the ski lift of your dreams.

In the livestream on Friday, Simon and Raphael take to the mountains, build ski and gondola lifts and ride down the mountains on winter sports equipment.

"When Ski Lifts Go Wrong" is available on PC and the Switch.

When I flew the family nest over 15 years ago, I suddenly had to cook for myself. But it wasn’t long until this necessity became a virtue. Today, rattling those pots and pans is a fundamental part of my life. I’m a true foodie and devour everything from junk food to star-awarded cuisine. Literally. I eat way too fast.
