About this game

Welcome to Alpine Lines, a minimalist puzzle and strategy game where you build, manage, and expand your very own ski resort network. Connect mountain peaks, route gondolas, and solve relaxing brain teasers in the snow!

If you enjoy clean design, management simulators, and relaxing problem-solving, this game is for you. You start with a quiet, snowy mountain represented by a sleek topographic map and a few disconnected ski stations at different elevations. Your goal is to activate the slopes and connect these points, setting up gondola lines to safely transport skiers across the mountain.

As your winter resort expands and new peaks open up, the puzzles get harder. You will need to manage multiple colored routes, prevent crowd bottlenecks at the stations, and figure out the most strategic way to keep your gondolas flowing smoothly.

What to expect:
- Build & Manage: Activate slopes, draw efficient gondola routes, and untangle overlapping lines to keep your ski network moving.
- Minimalist Aesthetics: Enjoy clean, easy-to-read topographic map designs with a soothing winter atmosphere.
- Strategic Puzzles: Test your logic and planning skills as the mountain grows and passenger demand increases.
- Play Offline: Completely playable offline, making it the perfect puzzle game for your commute or your next flight.
- Zero Ads: Enjoy the peace of the mountain without a single intrusive pop-up or forced ad.

Alpine Lines is a solo indie project. I wanted to make a satisfying game about organizing ski networks on a mountain. I hope you enjoy playing it as much as I enjoyed making it!

Ratings and reviews

Interesting concept. Game bottle necks at random times. New stations are added faster than all your build features. Constantly hitting the limit before I can add new slopes or connect stations. The game needs better a tutorial on what triggers new slopes, gondolas, lifts, bottlenecks, how these items and the new slopes and stations get triggered. Number of skiers, slopes, random? Could be a great game but the random game ends are frustrating, green one second, full red 10 seconds later.

Beautiful, chill little game. I'm still figuring it out, sometimes I don't understand why there are bottlenecks, but I figure I'll get there! Very polished and feels great to play. Sometimes I mistap and toggle a run instead of editing gondolas, but thats not catastrophic 😂 easy to tap again. Can't wait to see where this goes. Thanks!

After playing for awhile...the biggest thing I would recommend is increasing the instructions in tutorial. Deleting lines to move them was the biggest for me. Better clarification on when/how the 3 get filled/acquired. Lines, +passengers and trails.
