The graphics are fine, especially since it's in 3D. It fits the theme pretty well too. But I got bored pretty quickly because the concept is something I've seen in many games before. Still, great job putting this together within 48 hours!

Love the art style. Fun game, nice job!

Pretty nice. The level gen is cool. could do some tweaking on the control and level design e.g. start off easy - with easier handling and more spacious ground, so players can get into the flow.

A simple, well made idea! Good job!

Great game! A lot of fun! 10/10

Nicely done, controls could be more influential though. It's very hard to stay clear of obstacles even with planning ahead.

Solid game. Nicely done!

Great job, I like the trees. Works pretty well.

I like that flat shaded low poly style, well done.

Solid game, lovely artwork. I found that the trees spawned a bit close together as things progressed, but overall nicely done! :)

A familiar concept but well executed and I had fun. It fits both themes too!

Would be a lot better with some sound, but overall I like the game!

Nice graphics, simple (sort of overused) but fun concept. My only complaint is that the snowball was a little hard to control.

The graphics are nice, but the fog makes it hard to see what's coming. It's pretty difficult to control where you're going too.

Good game! I feel like with a bit of work, this could be packaged into a little iOS/Android app for being on the bus.

The controls felt a bit slow, but that's probably part of the challenge of it. If I was to change anything, I'd probably make the hitboxes of the obstacles smaller and more distinct.

Overall, I enjoyed the simplicity of it. Good use of theme!

I am a big fan of lowly art and it looks awesome!!
Remind me of that adultswimgame... of rolling the ball from a mountain destroying everything! :)

Graphics are great! Fun gameplay. Meets the theme very well!

Really impressive, fun to play. But a bit too much fog I think. :P Nice job.

Hey! I decided to try out your game since you said it was so similar to mine :) (don't know why you think that's a bad thing!)

The avalanche is great - awesome way to build up tension when you can see it start looming up behind you. I would have preferred the snowball to be easier to control - right now it feels more like luck of not having something spawn in front of me rather than moving out of the way of things. I also really liked the ski jump but I never got off of it fast enough to be able to jump over trees, which would have been really cool.

Overall, great game! I like how even though our games are basically the same, they both feel really unique :) I guess that's the beauty of everyone creating games with the same themes!

Thanks! I have changed a lot of things to make the controls more accurate. And now you can better use the jumps. Also made the trees have a smaller collier and I also added a min velocity to remove snow. Another thing, I made the generation get harder and harder rather then just starting out hard.
