I unfortunately couldn't start until Saturday and was busy most of Sunday. Anywho, here's the result. Everything created by me, using Reaper DAW, Aseprite, BFXR, and Unity 2019.2.

Instructions
A and D to steer left and right
Hit snow clumps and snow men for extra snow power. Dodge rocks and trees! Hit skiers for extra points, but make sure you're over halfway of snow power or take damage and lose points!

It's a simple idea that is very well executed, great job! No, seriously, it's a fun chilled game that is extremely well scoped.

Obviously a great idea for the theme, "the snowball effect", perfect :D

Love the reference to a great movie.

Cool billboard racing graphics! Reminds me of Road Rash :motorway: :motorcycle:

I had to try katamari that skier :see_no_evil:

My top score: 84695

Well done!

Simple but effective! Reminded me of SkiFree a bit. I only wish you could keep track of how many skiers you hit... nicely done!

I liked the sprites, I've seen this type of game before in the addictinggames.com days. It was pleasant

Is it only based on distance? Calming game!

@lexyvil, points go up depending on your overall speed and if you are actually able to catch some of the skiers before the trees do. The bigger your snowball, the faster you are and more points you gain!

Love the name! The pixel art 3D is almost like old school arcade 3D though it's a little too smooth. Make some specifically scaled sprites and don't scale the pixels if you want to make it even more retro.

Game's a little lacking. But it's got a nice look and feel and the sound isn't obnoxious. A fine effort.

The game is over but I'm still building snow power! :rofl:

I really like this game. It's a simplistic rolling loop with ranodmly generated objects, but fun.

I did notice the skiers further down the hill (or higher up, imagination :wink: ) and it was hilarious watching them fall. I usually rolled over them when large, but was spooked when I, a small ball with low snow power, insta died the next time I crossed paths with a skier :sweat_smile:

Catchy music, and cool graphics, :sunglasses: :sunny: :eyes:

Edit:

Full snow power and a score of 200k+ and still rising :joy:
