Session-based Online Snowboard Racing Game

Project Powder

Project Powder was a free-to-play online snowboard racing game from Korean developer Studio Bluecat, published in the West by Outspark, blending Mario Kart-style item racing with light RPG progression like leveling and trick-based skill trees. All play took place in discrete, matchmade downhill races rather than a persistent shared world, so it is catalogued here as a non-MMO reference. Studio Bluecat's bankruptcy led to development shifting to its sister game, SnowBound Online, and Project Powder itself shut down on February 7, 2013.
