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.

You have to hide away all the toys in the bedroom to stop mum from taking them away!
Overall a very nice game though.
Graphics have a nice aesthetic, but could probably use something on a crash (just record yourself screaming >.>).
The camera rolling around was fun.
* 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!
good job overall dude :)
About the theme, I suppose it's about the speed you reach.
GJ!
