Visuals and audio are great, both music and sound effects. I especially love the sound of turning in the snow, it makes turning feel really satisfying. The way the whiskey makes you turn feels really well-crafted and really makes you think twice about picking up another one.\n\nOne minor personal peeve: the controls didn't feel intuitive at first. I kept wanting to use a to turn my character left (as opposed to actually turning left on the screen) and d to turn him right. Nothing inherently wrong with them.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"meatpudding","author_uid":"1063289","time":"2017-12-04T05:11:48Z","epoch":1512364308,"modified":1512364308,"text":"Good game.

I agree about the turning controls not feeling intuitive, I had originally planned to have an option to flip them, unfortunately over the weekend I grew used to them and forgot about it. Doh!

Well, the game is pretty simple to understand and very hard to master haha\nBut overall I had fun with it and liked a lot.

I got 1200 on the beginner slope... WOO. The physics in this game are really funny and having a variety of ways to score makes it even better. If I could change one thing I'd make the left-right control less sensitive because I found myself turned around backwards a lot, and because of the player design and scale, I had a hard time telling which way was the front. Though that kinda makes sense considering the context of drunk skiing. Nice sound design too.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Ithildin","author_uid":"1000455","time":"2017-12-10T16:13:15Z","epoch":1512922395,"modified":1512922395,"text":"Super-fun game! :D\n\nIt takes a while to get used to the steering mechanics (I kept mentally reversing steering directions to match the \"forward\"), but I managed to get to 5100 points before the yeti got me :sob:\n\nOnce you hit a collider you need to pay a lot of attention to plan the steering direction you want to go as soon as you recover, or it gets stuck relatively easily. I once managed to hit a tree that was just in front of another and I spent a while trying to get out of there, which detracted a bit from the fun. Maybe disabling the collisions against that obstacle could help.\n\nGraphics were nice, and the sounds were funny. The music loop was catchy, but it got a bit repetitive in the end.\n\n+1 to the insane drunken tricks suggestion!
