Drop Point: Alaska is the latest in a long running line of games by the oddly named company, Bongfish. Drop Point is all about freedom on the slopes. There are no forced objectives, simply the compulsion to complete the challenges laid out before you, which will in turn unlock further boards and the featured “drop points” scattered across the mountain.
Challenges are fairly easy to understand. They come in 3 forms – Trick or Die, Highscore Challenge and Stick a Trick. Trick or Die forces you to complete tricks in order of listing in a time limit. Score one of the tricks and the time limit is increased, thus making it easier to finish. Highscore runs show the video of the best scorer in the world and encourage you to be it, causing you to “own” the run and your recording to be placed over the previous best. The last, Stick a Trick, is an open canvas. The trick is totally up to you, but it has to fit into the required trick types, i.e. a spin or grab. Bongfish states that there are over 100 challenges on the mountain, though you only have to complete 50 to unlock the final “Alaska pro Challenge”.
Instead, an online leaderboard is available to match your best runs with other boarders. It’s nice (and competitive),
