A lotta fun! I enjoyed the little "ow" at the end. The acceleration feels nice and smooth, I just wish the music had a quicker feel to go along with it.

Great visuals, I am an avid skier so this was a nice experience, I think you should increase the turning circle because when skiing you can pretty much do a 90 degreee turn really quick, but other than that great job!

I liked the game! It feels polished, the little ski track effect is adorable! I agree with the others who are saying that your ability to control your turns isn't the best, and it would be cool if your turns slowed you down a little, like real skiing. Also, it would be nice if restarting the game after dying was quicker. Overall, I liked the atmosphere and it was a fun simple game.

I liked it! Nice touch having the music gradually speed up, it adds to the feeling of getting faster. As mentioned, the controls feel a bit too heavy, but most of the time, you can avoid obstacles, so it was okay. Nice work :D

I liked it very much, it feels like a remake of the old Windows skiing game. The only thing missing is the abominable snowman ;)

The controls are too tight in my opinion since I ran into a few situations where I started turning as soon as I saw an obstacle but couldn't avoid it.

Good job!

Fun little game. Has a SkiFree vibe to it. It was a little short, just as I was getting into my stride I reached the bottom. An all round good entry. Great stuff.

Hey, I made it down the mountain. Good amount of challenge without going overboard, which is a tough balance to pull off in something like Ludum Dare. Gameplay and art felt a lot like SkiFree (in a good, homage-y kinda way), but gameplay offered something different. The music speeding up was a nice touch - things felt more urgent as you went faster. The hitboxes felt a tad bit unfair (not extremely so, but I crashed a couple times where I thought I had more space), but that's my biggest criticism.

It's way way way too slow to start with but once some speed gets built up it gets pretty fun

Nice entry :) I like, how the music gets faster and faster, but it is a bit monotonous. I think the game would really benefit from some randimly generated levels. All in all nice work!

It is a really solid game. My only complaint is that Abominable Snowman didn't chase you down and eat you. Other than that Great Job!
