Judge feedback

Judge feedback is anonymous and shown in a random order.

  • Very smooth and responsive controls!!! It really felt like I was skiing!
  • Cute!! Love how the music kicks in as you ride. Turning very much feels like skiing and the particles are a great touch. Would love to see more changes in the environment as you progress!
  • The gameplay is really fun and addicting. I think you hit the perfect balance of keeping the game difficult but also fair. The controls were also very well done. Nice job!

How does the game fit into the theme?
You have to keep moving forward to avoid the avalanche right behind you!

really cute game, i really liked the assets

530m :) Pretty good feeling, my kind of immediate and pure fun with some music and fx (the audio fading!) that perfectly match this addictive gameplay loop.

Level design is good (you really improve when with the 500m mark where you need to have a good curve to pass the rocks). 

Good entry! (I had an issue that prevented me from playing fullscreen, not sure if it is known)

It's very simple and fun! I really liked the frenetic style and how the music goes with it. Also, the controls are very simple and you can learn the mechanics quickly.

Good job! :D

Reached 586m. Very fun to play, nice sound and visual effects when turning, feels responsive and satisfying. I can see myself spending a lot of time reaching for the records. Music also give a nice flow feeling when playing

Developer(+1)

Thanks! I'm glad you liked the music :)

Really fun game! Mechanics were really intuitive and fit the theme well, I especially liked how you handled the music fading in and out depending on how far the player is from the storm.

Great work!

Good job guys!

super fun

Man this was tough! The segments that caused you to bleed speed were brutal, but it felt pretty well balanced as there was usually a segment afterwards with trees where you could really full blast speed to regain ground on the avalanche. The ultra tight turns at 500m+ really did a number on me though and I had difficulty managing that plus the icy lakes.

Cool game and really well done with the audio of the avalanche increasing/decreasing. Definitely added to the pressure of the game.

high score after like 40 runs is 154. Do  I suck? Probably. But its fun! And addictive. 

Submitted(+2)

I suck at this so much, took me a few goes just to get past the rocks :D Really fun though

Developer

Ahh sorry I may have made it too difficult

Wow this is actually great, really enjoyed it! I think this is my fav so far, great job. The only thing I'm missing is something like a leaderboard, or a reason to keep going for a higher score but I understand why something like that isn't in the game. It's only a week. 

Developer

Thanks I'm glad you enjoyed it! And I agree a leaderboard would add a lot to the replayability. The best scores I'm aware of so far are:

  1. 1804 - myself
  2. 1661 - sean51423 (playtester)
  3. 1511 - Liam (our sound designer)

Let me know if you get a nice score! I'll put together leaderboard in the description :)

(1 edit)

Ooo, I'll try to beat that. Prob good you didn't add a leaderboard tho, I mean, I regret spending a lot of time creating a leaderboard for my entry because it broke last minute

Developer

Ah yeah same thing happened to me during the Pirate Software jam. Made everything from scratch and then it broke in the Web export :c

This was really fun! I made a game where a nerd struggles in a crazy gym—would love to hear what you think!

Developer

Thanks! left a comment on yours as well

Developer

Glad you enjoyed it!

Submitted(+2)

I got 745m, it's a fun game I may come back to. Very challenging.

Submitted(+2)
