Megagon Industries

Megagon Industries is an independent video game developer and publisher based in Berlin, Germany, founded in 2013. The studio builds physics-based outdoor sports games with minimalist visuals and a focus on precision movement. Their two main releases are Lonely Mountains: Downhill and Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders, both built around navigating natural terrain with a satisfying, unforgiving physics system that rewards mastery.

Lonely Mountains: Downhill

Lonely Mountains: Downhill released in October 2019 for PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. A mountain biking game built around descending hand-crafted trails across four distinct mountains, it scored runs rather than timing them in a traditional sense, rewarding clean lines and penalizing crashes with time penalties. The minimalist low-poly aesthetic, the ambient sound design, and the absence of music during runs gave it a meditative quality that distinguished it from more arcade-focused cycling games. It received positive reviews and found a dedicated audience that kept returning to beat their own times across the game’s multiple difficulty routes per trail.

Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders

Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders released on January 21, 2025 for Windows and Xbox Series X/S, with Game Pass day one on Xbox. The game applies the same physics and minimalist design philosophy to skiing, with new mountains, new terrain types, and the addition of trick mechanics alongside the precision line-finding of Downhill. It is the direct successor to Downhill rather than a standalone expansion, building the Lonely Mountains universe into a small franchise of outdoor sports titles.
