sorry, it just crashes to a black screen before I can finish reading the controls :(

@jver422 thanks it's working on Chrome on Windows and Mac plus Safari. Please give it another go and rate!

The art style is so amusing, making up for the other shortcomings

Driving in factorio made my brain lag so much and I felt as if the controls were reversed. Very cool idea and artstyle.

What a crazy game, it's wonderful. I am proud of my 1:34 time and 83 cleared results. Fun take on the theme and the sport as well. Great aesthetic too, hitting the nostalgia bone.

@tesseus thanks so much <3 (good score, be proud)

Very easy to understand how to play right away but still a challenging gameplay. The guy in the back ate quite a few trees, but I enjoyed my run 😄 Very nice entry!

Easy to understand, but hard to play! I failed pretty heavily, even when I got a second player involved.

I really like the concept of having to actively guide your teammate through the course. It captures the fast-paced, slightly frantic energy of a race. This was a fun take on the whole downhill experience!

Where's that yeti? Also dang difficult, but in a good way! Good job!

Okay the art style of the characters is peak skying in the 90s, love it !

I'm really bad at the game though ahah. (Having an azerty keyboard does not help but the problem is probably between my keyboard and my chair)

Well done ! Too bad I couldn't reach the yeti !

@kerdelos oops I totally forgot about other keyboard layouts! thanks for playing +1 difficulty

(Also the yeti I just drew for fun, it's not in the game unfortunately)

A very fun and interesting twist on a classic of the 90s. Great hitting the slopes two at a time!

so interest vibe.) fun visual. nice work.))

These sort of two-character mind-twisters are always fun, I've made one myself in the past. This one was good fun, had charming art, and is very challenging. I really enjoyed it!

shernik 2026-04-24 15:29 ♥ 1

It's really unusual and quite difficult in a good way.

zakchaos 2026-04-24 22:22 ♥ 1

thouroughly enjoyed, and was excellent use of theme, made me nostalgiac for orld ski free, very impressive feel and mood, Excellent job!

acartlidge 2026-04-24 23:06 ♥ 1

It made me laugh trying to control both at once, for some reason my brain decided my left hand should be giving signals backwards and I had to fight that. I think the best decision you made here was recognizing this game could be crazy frustrating and not making you have to start over for hitting things. It would have been a totally different experience if not for that. Nice work!

"Familiar controls for both hands, but combining them is a total brain-twister. It's so clunky in the best way possible—love it!

panduplan 2026-04-25 18:21 ♥ 1

Very original take on theme lol. Could hack controls a bit by moving characters as close as possible and just pressing buttons simultaniosly. Well polished map design btw

vydra 2026-04-26 07:01 ♥ 1

Nice gameplay. I was completely broken after a lot of tries.

iluvatar 2026-04-28 19:16 ♥ 1

Me: "This is gonna be easy, I mean how hard is it to just press both WASD and Arrows?"

Also Me 10 minutes later: "Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!"

Seriously now, this game has no right to be this fun and challenging. I love it, I love the SKI vibe from the classic game, and the smooth gameplay. It was pretty hard, but the concept is really cool!

@iluvatar haha thank you <3

@panduplan true, I should have punished that! thank you

Really great idea! Hard to coordinate BUT it's so cool! Love the concept.

pastry-chef 2026-04-29 20:30 ♥ 1

Wow, I am absolutely terrible at this :)

surfa 2026-05-02 16:50 ♥ 1

As with pastry-chef I was terrible at this game. But it was very charming. I really like the graphics and overall concept, it fit the theme well. Also it was very topical with the Winter Paralympics that ran recently.
