About When Ski Lifts Go Wrong

When Ski Lifts Go Wrong is a physics-driven puzzle game that carries you from gentle rolling foothills up to jagged, exposed mountain peaks. Each carefully designed scenario challenges you to get every passenger safely to their destination, and because the physics are realistic, the disasters are just as realistic when your plans fall apart.

Across more than 100 levels, you build chairlifts, gondolas, jumps, bridges, and ramps while managing rope tensions and steering riders across treacherous terrain. Materials must be spent wisely as you progress through the campaign; cutting corners saves money but can undermine passenger safety, often with comical results. You can switch between Build Mode and Simulation Mode whenever you like, mastering the stresses and strains that act on every structure you assemble in the role of a mountain resort engineer.

Beyond construction, this casual indie simulation leans into its sports side across winter and summer activities like snowboarding, skiing, motorbiking, and cycling. You take direct control of your riders, nudging them toward their goals and chasing the top spot on the leaderboards. Keeping an eye on your budget while ticking off objectives ties the building, simulation, and extreme-sports elements together into one physics puzzle experience on PC.
