Mr. Yeti is usually a nice guy, napping in the peace and quiet of Yeti Mountains. But sometimes he can get dangerously hungry, and running around looking for food only makes him hungrier. Which means bad luck for anybody who ends up crossing his way in the forests.
Although he doesn’t hold a grudge against the puny humans who disturb his silence with their “skiing”, Mr. Yeti does like the way all those winter clothes keep their juicy insides warm. Mr. Yeti calls them Burritos on Sticks.
Intructions: -Use WASD to move -Catch the human skiers -Be careful! Running around makes you hungrier. -Don`t starve to death
Played a little slow in my browser, but I loved it!
Innovative, flashbacks of the ski-game that used to be on my school computer! Controls were a little icy (as if the yeti was a car..), but the awesome sounds and graphics kept me occupied.
I just want to say that I had this exact same idea. But I'm incredibly glad I didn't go for it, because it wouldn't have been even close to this. Really fun, the controls are loose but in a good, challenging way. Artwork is incredible, audio is great, really not much more for me to say other than that so far, this is absolutely my favorite game of the jam.
Also, I set the world record at 101 before I voluntarily smashed myself into trees over and over to deplete my energy to give other people a shot. :)
Really awesome! Being the yeti is way more fun than the skier as it turns out. The controls are a little drifty and it can be slightly frustrating to run into trees. :( But the animations and art are really gorgeous! Now you just need to add the skiers wiping out on jumps that the yeti can easily eat! Great job!
Wow it was very addicting. Controls and movement of the character plus animations feel so right together. Music is the only thing bothering me, it seems like looping a lot. Other than that good job!
It really looked like a promising and fun game. Well made and great music/audio to go with the graphics. But it really was much much too hard for me. I played several times before I caught my first skier, and that is the only skier I've ever caught. So I think you need to add different difficulties where the skiers simply go slower. Or have the skiers get better/faster over time. I see from the high scores that others are better at it than I am. But only running around and failing wasn't so fun. Other than the difficulty though, it looks to be a superb entry!
My biggest tip for catching skiers is to follow THEIR ski tracks. Skiers will generally avoid trees, so instead of trying to move towards them directly, follow the path they're taking and you will have an easier time avoiding trees. You move faster than they do, so even if you're not cutting through trees you'll still be able to catch up.
Great idea and really pretty! A Unity plugin or native download version would be great though - it was really stuttery in my FireFox, there was no sound, and it didn't register keyboard controls until I fullscreened it.
Holy cow, this is an awesome take on the ski free remix!! What an excellent way to make the visuals your own, the 2D/3D look. Those little skiers are frustratingly agile too...
Fantastic game. The art is cute and quirky, the controls are snappy, the animations are lively, the sound is great, though the music is a bit dull. But still great job overall.
This is an amazing jam game and an amazing game in its own right! The difficulty level is perfect. The mechanics are SOLID. As game-makers, we understand how difficult it is to nail these things, and by golly you nailed this one. Also, the art is hilarious and cute.
Super cute graphics! I included it in part 8 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/tto3rRaLBXQ
This is honestly perhaps the most fun LD game I've played to date. The yeti has to gather up momentum, but it's still relatively easy to control and ends up creating an amazingly fun challenge. The relatively close camera adds to the feeling of you actually being a starving yeti chasing skiiers in a hurry. The graphics are simple, adorable and all-around lovely to look at, the music and sounds are cheerful, wintery and really suit the game well. Amazing job! C:
Looks really good, nice animation, and I love what you did with the theme! Controls were pretty hard for me though, I ran into a lot of trees- maybe if I didn't slide in the snow as much.
Amazing polish on the graphics and sound. The gamefeel is also done outstandingly well (I love how when you hit a tree, everything shakes. I sure felt the impact of that blow!). The game also really intuitive. Great job!
Love it! Nice visuals and very polished. I appreciate the thought put into details like the fact that you not only have to touch the skier's hitbox but stay on him for a split second to actually eat him.
I'm one of those that spent an unhealthy number of hours playing SkiFree. I must say, I now have a new found sympathy for my old nemesis.
The game felt very polished- Controls where nice, as well as sound and graphics. I specially loved that the guys on skis were just as shitty as I used to be :P Good job, and thanks for the nostalgia trip, with improved graphics :P
Love the fluid gameplay, the clarity of the artwork is superb (except some assets seem not to render correctly on Safari?), just a really superbly polished package, nice work! The footsteps effect and particles add a huge amount - "juice it or lose it"!
Got only three skiers - I would make a bad yeti :D Awesome entry with stunning animations. I only wish that meat indicator on the top would show how far to the left I need to go
Very polished and fun entry. During the first try I was trying to catch them on the fly because I thought they sky faster than you run (just ate 1). But then I started chasing them and I loved it.

And puts a new gear to that old game that everyone remember. Ah, the nostalgia...
Overall, an excellent game. Good job.

The way Mr.Yeti moves is charming. The sound effects, especially the scream, are also pretty nice.

I really enjoyed it.
Well polished, slick and enjoyable.
I loved the sounds, the graphics, when you stump into trees and kill those adorable sloppers.
Well it is a great entry! Well done!
