The controls could've been a little smoother... but other than that the sounds were great and the graphics were fantastically themed :D I could totally see this being a mini-game for like wii sports or something :P"},{"author_name":"fferro234","author_uid":"26574","time":"Aug 26, 2013 @ 7:14pm","epoch":1377544140,"text":"Nice game, its a little hard to see the slow snow though.

It's a lot of fun and the mechanics work well, but the level is too hard for me. :'(\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Especially the placement of the snow is a work of pure evil. It's always there to crush your dreams right in front of a checkpoint. D:\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Apart from the difficulty, I think it's a very well put together package. Graphics were on par with a certain other arctic creature racing game (an achievement considering the time frame) and the music and audio fit well.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Great job! :D\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Just make some easier tracks now!"},{"author_name":"Neo-Blue","author_uid":"24994","time":"Aug 29, 2013 @ 8:19am","epoch":1377764040,"text":"I really like the art style for this project.
