As a yeti you have to eat whatever 'food' is best available to you if you're going to stave off extinction. Eat enough skiers to fill your belly!

Controls: Move using arrows or WASD keys.

Inspired by the 1991 classic SkiFree: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SkiFree

Ski Free Lunch was build entirely on a Windows Surface 3 using Unity 5, Audacity, Paint.net.

Untested on OSX or Linux yet, so if there is anything game-breaking please let me know in the comments!

Plays great on OSX. I loved SkiFree, and I think it was really fun to flip it around. Great concept and execution!

The newspapers were my favorite part. "It's pretty gross" haha.

Also really good interpretation of the original art. Faithful but also new and cool.

Fun game! Solid graphics, awesome AI movement. I can't imagine how terrifying it must be for those skiers, lol. The sound effects made me jump at first, but grew on me after a while. Nice job!

When the topic was announced I hoped someone would make this game! Great art, fun gameplay, one of my favorites!

What an amazing idea. I remember trying to outrun that damn yeti as a kid. Great entry.

Nice. I think you balanced the yeti run speed and the skier speed to a satisfying result.

That's the second game I've seen this LD with the exact same idea, so I'm going to have to mark you down on innovation. Sorry.

You did it better though.

Awesome spin on a classic! Great humor and I love the animations and sounds the yeti makes. Excellent work!

Vastly superior to the SkiFree game I played before this. This is what I expected when I noticed that someone had made a reverse SkiFree. Good job.
