Games and Roadhouse Interactive are pleased to announce that FRS
Ski Cross, an exciting new alpine racing game for iOS and
Android, is now available for download on the iTunes App Store
and on Google Play for Android. Designed by veteran team members
from some of the best-selling action sports franchises of all
time, FRS Ski Cross sends players down high-speed mountain race
courses, carving insane banked turns and leaping over sky-high
jumps. Equipment upgrades, including new skis, helmets, bindings
and other real-world licensed gear from HEAD and Völkl, are
available for you to customize and improve your skier and their
skills.
Easy-to-learn timing-based gameplay will challenge you to hit
the sweet spot on every turn and jump by tapping at just the
right moment. Perfectly timed taps lead to better race times and
higher scores, which you can upload as ghosts for your friends
to race against. Progress through 50 tracks, increasing in
length, speed and difficulty, and test your racing prowess in a
number of PvP challenges against fellow competitors.
"With a pedigree in creating some of the most successful sports
action franchises on console, Roadhouse is a great partner for
Unity, and we are excited to be publishing FRS Ski Cross", said
Oren Tversky, VP of Unity Games. "For actions fans who enjoy
fast and furious sports games, FRS Ski Cross is a great way to
experience the thrills of head-to-head alpine racing."
"We are thrilled to work with Unity Games to launch FRS Ski
Cross", said Ian Verchere, Chief Creative of Roadhouse
Interactive. "Our mission is to own action-sports on mobile and
social. Unity Games is the perfect partner to help us get there.
