How it feels

A stripped-down, retro skiing game that feels punishingly difficult, with physics-driven runs that can be occasionally infuriating.

What players say

Players compare it to a 3D SkiFree or the slippery penguin race from Mario 64. The minimalist visuals and chill music contrast sharply with controls that are frustrating and physics that feel broken, leading to many crashes.
