Well then, here's my scores:

The game was fun and exhilarating to play. The short view distance really kept me on my toes!

The only thing I would add is the ability to jump to give the player more options to deal with stuff (like low rocks). The current controls are more than efficient enough already to deal with everything, I just personally like the option.

If you'd like to check out my game, here's the URL:

You have to hide away all the toys in the bedroom to stop mum from taking them away!

My best : 1501 (didn't have the presence of mind to take a screenshot) !

A nice simple game with a fitting art style. The wind sound effect was okay but there was a strange popping sound effect that kept playing now and again. To improve the game I would add a sound effect for when your character crashes as well as the potential ability to jump. I would also improve the end score screen (add a bit of game feel to it!)

Overall a very nice game though.

Pretty good game, once I got into it I hit 2k pretty easily.

Graphics have a nice aesthetic, but could probably use something on a crash (just record yourself screaming >.>).

The camera rolling around was fun.

That was really challenging and fun - great art style, and I like how the fog makes it hard to see ahead. Good job

Really well done, here! It's a lot of fun replaying the game and trying to beat my own high score!

I kept waiting for the monster from Skifree to pop up! Cool game with a nice challenge.

The first-person perspective does a lot for this game! Fun when you start going fast, would love it if turning also titled the camera a bit.

This is a really solid entry! Really wish it had audio and falling snow would be beautiful but it's still nice to play. Feels quite relaxing. I dig it a lot. :)

I honestly can't say much since this is almost simply definitive but definitely can be improved better. This reminds me of Skifree for some reason. I was expecting it to pop up, but this is Ludum Dare. No time for shenanigans!

* The sounds was nice. I had a fan pointed at me all the time, so it made the experience better. Could use sounds when gliding and when you wipe out.
* One touch you made was nice is what when you wipe out, you spin around chaotically. Great work on that! Art style is cool too! I like the simplicity of things but it does inevitably feel a bit bland and generic after awhile. Sadly, I don't think there's a way around it cause snow.
* I guess the theme lies with the speed? or the theme lies with distance? Use speed if reaction is the forte, then don't make it dense. Seeing there's fog, that is not the case.
* Allow me to speed up, slow down and jump up when necessary if you're going to continue with this. Makes me feel in control. Unless the slope is too steep then you can't slow down! If you feel like it, do it like Skifree. There's always a monster to get you.

Sorry to say, but I can see this not being planned to be continued at all as it feels too simple and made to be really safe within bounds, but has a lot of potential to be improved. If you can somehow make it really satisfying and spice it up when playing this game, then you should really work on it!

Nice game, it has cool graphics and it's fun to play. I don't see how is it related to the theme, but it's still a good game.

It's a fun game with great controls. I especially love when you crash and your character just goes flying! I also like how you slow yourself down by turning, you know, like how a real skier does? Kind of wish you could turn faster (and/or slow down faster), maybe some crouch mechanic to speed up faster, and some blue sky could really brighten up the mood, especially when you wipe out. Also, more sound effects!

pretty simple yet fun game, you really captured the sense of speed well, and the turning felt responsive even at high speeds.

good job overall dude :)

The controls were nice, and the art style too. I liked the low-poly a lot.
About the theme, I suppose it's about the speed you reach.
GJ!
