BOOOOM

Top audio. smooth and charming. I manged to set off the avalanche without actually starting it and was able to go down hill without any obstacles. I dont know how I did it, so the secret will live on.

More fun than I expected! I really enjoyed the fact that the game is multiplayer and the character customization, I could see myself playing this with my friends!

What can I say... This is really impressive. You've made a MMO in 2 days that feels smooth and is fun to play! I really liked skiing with others that came online.
Also really like the sound effects :-)

BOOM :boom:

The visual are cute and charming, love it. The controls were nice and responsive and I liked the different costumes you could wear. The fact that you made it online is doubly impressive! Great work!

Loved it, controls are fun, great to play against others, art is simple but funny, music is catchy but not super on theme if i'm honest. maybe some items on the map would be interesting, speed boost, shield, weapon etc. Great job adding multiplayer!

First I was like "Ok, traditional skiing game, nice, and good physics, good", then I played, one two, three games, and then I saw a guy playing with me, I look around and see "MMO downhill racing game". AMAZING!

It totally changed my view on this game, it was so much more fun seeing other people emoting and racing with the others. Just cool as hell! Special kudos for pulling up something as cool as online multiplayer on LD jam :)

Only one tip: It would be cool to have chat in the game :) I wished I could say "good job" to my opponents

I'm so impressed you managed to put together the multiplayer so fast. This was really fun to play on Tobugis' stream with you (I'm LookingForPants). Well done!

I'm super impressed with multiplayer LD jam games. I played it with a Twitch group and it was crazy fun. Intuitive mechanics, fun art style, emotes... what else could you ask out of 48 hours of development? Awesome job!

Incredibly fun and fluid controls. The fact that you got multiplayer and a customization menu in the game is impressive. I liked both the music and the art.

this was a fun game to play, i would add maybe speed up when you press down, or slow down when you press back. other then that this was really fun to play. nice job!

Loved this, played it with some others while watching a stream, great game with a lot of people, tons of fun.

Only critiques are the music, doesn't fit the hecticness of such an extremely extreme game.

BOOOOM

Super fun game here, really impressive to get a functioning multiplayer up during a jam! A couple hitboxes are tighter than I think is good, but that's a very minor complaint. Excellent game!

Amazing game!! The controls and netplay felt as crisp as winter air, and the sound design was pretty fantastic. Plus, the chill guitar jams added a lot! Some of the most fun I've ever had playing LudumDare. I imagine it would still be fun single player, but the multiplayer component is SO fun!

I'm calling it early, this game wins the entire compo. Amazing game

It's nifty to play a multiplayer SkiFree, but in practice it means you spend a lot of downtime waiting for the best player to die. It would be nice if the skill floor was a little lower

Had a good time playing this on stream! I think you might have been trying to bribe me with the giant mustache. 🤔 Just wish my brain would stop reversing which controls I should press.

This was a blast! I always love your games and this one is no exception. Thanks for sharing! Also high score 20,000 :)

Insanely fun and addicting. Graphics are simple and goofy obviously, but they're consistent enough to create a nice visual style. Impressed that you got multiplayer working for a game jam.

I absolutely love the Ski Free vibes. It's also incredible that you made a multiplayer game in a weekend.

I LOVED this! The graphics, the audio, it's so bad it became good and I love it and I can't help but score you highly there LOL. The gameplay is addicting, fun, responsible and the highscore addition has me addicted to trying more and more. Unfortunately I had to play by myself, will co-dev if she'll play with me some more tonight. Lovely submission Kuvi!

Pretty cool game it was really nice to play with some people.

Online multiplayer in a ludum dare game? Wow this is probably one of the most fun games I've played yet

Really fun game ! I had a blast playing. cheers :)

Nice game! I will try again later to see if other people are online or grab some friends. That would up the fun factor significantly I believe.

Even solo the concept is enjoyable. I think the graphics hit that programmer art / MS Paint aesthetic well. The audio is nice for the timeframe. Customizable characters is a great touch.

Awesome job making a game in 48 hours!

Played for you on my [livestream](https://www.twitch.tv/timbeaudet) and was awesome, very well done!

Very nice work, online multiplayer, your custom engine, well done indeed! No notes :smile:

Loved the game. Music is a little repatitive so I appreciate the ability to turn it down. Sound effects were great though! Art is cute and fun.

Had fun playing with some of my favorite twitch streamers!

I only have one question: where is the Yeti?!

Wow, real time online multiplayer racing in 48 hours? Incredible! Really love the fact that it's not immediately obvious that you want to maintain top speed by not steering too much until the avalanche first catches up to you!

I played your game and here're the things I loved:
- Breaking the neck hitting a tree
- Rage screaming
- Carving up in front of another player and making him fail
- Picking up pink bikini for a ride

I also did not like:
- Feeling lonely when other players are gone

Joined this game while a streamer was playing it, so there were quite a few people making it really fun!
Love that you actually made an online competitive game, and in a custom engine at that! It was really fun.

Good work!

Thanks for bringing your game by my stream for feedback! If you’d like to revisit the play and commentary you can view the highlight at https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1447203094

Fantastic fun! Solid multiplayer SkiFree implementation, you got character customization in, it was clearly a lot of fun as a stream/play with chat game. It's got a nice tight loop so it's usually not too long a wait when you're out before the next round.

Good implementation of skiing basics. Couple of hitboxes were maybe not quite forgiving enough but overall felt good.

One player noted that ping time to the server caused an issue for them, so it would be good to look into that.

I would love an option to swap left/right, as my brain really wanted the classic controls relative to the skier's facing rather than relative to the camera.

That felt very, very extreme. Loved it. In an extreme way. Extremely.

The fact that you did a multiplayer game for a Ludum Dare is completely amazing!
You should do this an online multiplayer game for people to play with friends with different places and effects and sell this on Steam, because it's really great!

I would completely wishlist this hahahahahaha

Multiplayer.. in a game jam. Amazing!

The controls felt very appropriate for skiing, the perfect amount of 'slide'. I sat here for a while versing a few players on your stream. It's great fun, reminds me of SkiFree from years ago. I also feel like some of the hit-boxes are a little to large, which is slightly frustrating sometimes, but you learn to avoid obstacles with a wider birth.

Amazing work! One of my favourite entries

Was surprised to find I wasn't alone when I played! Got to about 30.000 before crashing.
Really great and relaxing game. The multiplayer aspect was a big surprise!

I could do this all day. enough said.

Quite a nice game, the gameplay is simple, but challenging at the same time. Great job.

Lovely game! I personally loved the thematic. The graphics and audio make it very charming, and the gameplay feels right. I sadly couldn't try the online game, but will check again later, because playing alone was already very fun. Very nice compo entry overall, I enjoyed it!

Nice! xD

Looove that this is an MMO! :D
I had so much fun and the sound effects we're lit! :fire:

Honestly best game I have played so far, It is a genuine joy to roll down a hill with other people just for all of us to run into the same rock and die. 10/10 would skate into rock again

Really awesome game! Everything controlled really well and the online multiplayer added a lot of replayability. Can't really ask for much more as a compo game, but perhaps post-LD it would been interesting to let the players interact in some way (e.g., throwing objects, shoving, etc.), but that might be tough to balance around insta-death without feeling a bit too random (and perhaps the more involved netcode). :P

I find it amazing when people manage to make actual online multiplayer games for LD, and yours is very n**ice**.

This is awesome! Always really impressive to see multiplayer jam games. Liked the character customization and the controls felt really fluid. Music was also fitting. Great entry!

Very funny game, well put together, tons of fun. Especially when playing when someone is streaming it. Top!

This is amazing ! So much fun, I want to dedicate a full stream just to play this with my viewers ! :) Well done and incredibly impressive that you were able to put together a solid multiplayer game in only this short time. Love it ! Nostalgia bomb ! :D

so much fun

Hah! what fun! played this multiplayer and we had some fun great job!

Waaaaay! Did a few races with IvoF3412. Dead simple but it's done well. Nice!

Always impressed that you get a multiplayer game up and running! Very smooth steering physics too, nice work!

Really impressed that you were able to incorporate multiplayer into a compo game. Well done! The controls felt very smooth, the audio was nice, and my only suggestion would be to make the start of the races a bit easier.

Great fun and addictive!

This is a fun game, and losing to someone repeatedly in multiplayer is an unexpected feature for a jam game

Thanks for submitting your game for me to play on my stream!

Good luck on your ratings, see you next LD! :D

Hilarious :') such a clever submission! you've made a fan :D

Haha, awesome game! Really enjoyed. It would be nice to have more polished character graphics, otherwise its perfect.

Classic kuviman fun. I often complained about hitboxes, but then I started dodging the shadows of the trees as well :D That helped!

Thanks again for the game, not much to say really :) It is wonderful!

Love it! It was very fun. Really impressive for just 48 hours.

Awesome game kuviman! This has so much charm, I love joining in every time I see streamers playing it xD

here's my record so far

pretty simple but crikey we had fun! I always enjoy that you try and make collaborative games, which in turn helps bring people together in the community. I think this one was good because it could be fun to play single player too, and had a short round-duration which made it great for keeping people engaged.

Multiplayer skifree, simple but effective. Played this on marcmagus' stream with people there and had lots of fun :]. The game has some quirks, but it plays into the silly style of the game, overall very fun.

This is so enjoyable! Had fun playing with you and I like the little customization. The graphics have a charm. It's definitely a challenge but it's enjoyable. I think the emotes really add a ton because it makes it feel like I'm interacting a lot more than just moving and competing. Fantastic submission.

Good job!


Always love to see another custom engine out in the wild!

lol very innovative and yet nostalgic game. whens the bear comin :smile:

jumpable obstacles would be so cool!

Amazing game! It's seriously fun. The game's feel is perfect!

Lovely little game, fun times. BOOOOOOOOM

Beat @bogden 's highscore just after the stream ended. Almost started getting competitive there ^^


I don't know why greenpeace wants to protect trees, I hate trees! And stones!
Very funny game! Thanx

Fun game. I'm thinking this is the game that works as a multiplayer and unfortunately, I played when it was just me. In spite of that, I really enjoyed it and how easy the controls were in order to play. Eventually I will get past my 20k score

Only add I would suggest is putting in a leaderboard

Fantastic job

Thank you for playing with me on stream!!!

It is a fun game, the movemnt feels great and the competitive part is awesome - great work on pulling that one in a gamej jam - Tha only thing I would say is that maybe the avalanche goes too fast,but that might be just my perception

the game was great and FUN! thanks again for sharing it!

Equal parts ridiculous and fun as always! I'm always jealous of your multiplayer shenanigans. Keep up the good work!

It is a very fun game, the game gets a lot more fun when played on twitch with lots of people. Well done on a great entry!

Added to my Itch.io collection. I really had fun playing the game, and even managed to win a Race :)
I also love the fact that it's made in Rust with a custom engine, good job!

Really well done on this, it gives me a lot of nostalgia for some of those early 2000s multiplayer games. The online part feels really smooth and the game didn't feel unfair at any point either. Nice work!

Holy shit! this was the best LD game I have played this year! Good work! Music could have been done a bit more polished but for the whole wonky aesthetic it fits perfectly! Seriously great work! Had so much fun playing with my friends!

Had a couple of people from our team and a random person (hi Kimo if you see this :D) playing and had a great time! The emote communication was just the right blend of restrictive and expressive, reminded me of Journey in a way. Only wish you could emote while fallen from the sidelines to react when spectating (either to other fallen or to surviving ones as well). Great entry!

Not worked till I disabled ublock. Messages about monetization and cross-origin frame error looks concerning. But anyway. Nice game!

@morricore what browser? never saw any messsages about monetization myself or cross-origin errors or other people telling me. Weird. Almost sounds like somehow the actual web page is modified before reaching your browser

@kuviman Chrome Version 100.0.4896.88 (Official Build) (64-bit)

@morricore tried chrome, updated to that version, definitely no issues, did you see such issue in other games? try checking on another pc maybe, not sure what is happening here

Such a good mini game! I love gamplay and rivalistatioon with other players. The game is well balance. You have ability to slow down but to much makes that the lavina will cover you. I had one more turn syndrome :P Good job!

Super cool game and it was great fun to play it together with you and the others on stream today! Here's the link if you want to rewatch it: https://youtu.be/yTi05MSwqXU

BOOM

This was pretty fun!
Impressive to have a character editor, multiplayer & emotes, I like it! The gameplay is a pretty simple runner but the added multiplayer thing makes it funnier!

This game is too good. Game of the year please <3

Cool to see multiplayer in a jam game. I did some solo skiing and watched one of the above videos to see how the multiplayer compares. I quite liked how the movement handles, where you slow down and kick up snow as you dig in for a turn. I felt like I had the ability to do both slight adjustments and sharp turns.

39181 was my highest score, though it felt a bit like getting a high score is dependent on how long before the avalanche shows up, which felt somewhat random. Outrunning the avalanche did feel fairly inevitable, though on straight sections you can last a little while.

Music was good but it felt a little bit repetitive, maybe it could be a longer loop. The sound of snow as you turn was pretty good.

one of my favorite games reviewed so far, played it for way longer than i shouldve lol

Damn this is goooooood, the multiplayer with the emotes is so fun i really enjoyed it! There is nothing much to say it's amazing! Thanks to my master yo that has some skis skills, he teached me everything i need to know!

Only "downside" is i had to reload the game if i wanted to change my name, as i didn't find at first glance where i should have put it, i was stuck with unamed. But that's a really tiny inconvenience.

Balancing is great, theme is respected, amazing entry, well done!

PB : around 36000

This game is so much fun with friends, so simple yet to effective :D really love your entry in this jam!

Really cool little game! I like the artstyle, gameplay is cool and challenging, the multiplayer component is genius, sadly i skied alone :cry: i will sure give it another try soon! well done!!

Awesome. Just awesome. Thanks for the multiplayer game!!!

tight

played this with jared's stream, really fun!! Absolute blast trying to beat everyone on the stream lol

[Poppin' in again to drop a link to the stream VOD](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1457327946?t=03h28m27s) :eyes:

Thanks again for submitting and playing with us, man!

Love the online multiplayer! There seems to be a bug where people can stand/get stuck on the start line and always count as winning with 0. I'm not good at the game, but it's neat regardless!

It’s awesome what you accomplished in such a short timeframe! Kudos!

Awesome entry. Very nice job!

Wonderful job as always! How you always manage to make a multiplayer game that's fun in the jam time still baffles me. I was pretty bad at the game but I still had a fun time with it! Thanks for the entry!

This was sooooo much fun!!!! <3 I really loved it!

The controls fel't very good and I felt like I was actually skiing again, lol.

The social component with this was fantastic <3 :)

A very well done job!

I'll have you know I'll play this with my discord friend group (which will be fun for ONCE because they always wanna play CS :PPP)

This is a perfect example how a good gameplay together with charming programmer art makes a perfect game <3

I think you will continue with this, so please add more emotes, and maybe add the heads of all characters (maybe together with the name) in a corner so I can make a reaction even when I'm dead :D

A very fun, addicting little game! Well done!

so much fun, will play with friends! (that loading of keyboard on start while ago tho lol)

Gave your game a little shout out on the GitHub blog post @ https://github.blog/2022-05-05-ludum-dare-50 🙂

The game (and the music) is very fun and uplifting. I found it easiest to ignore the course and just dodge the trees. please add an option to invert the controls - my old brain expects 'tank-controls', where left is the player's left and not left on the keyboard.

Oh, that's interesting. To be honest, I wouldn't like to participate in something like that, but I'd love for it to be a real sport and place bets.

Extreme sports are actually entertaining, and I think that when you add bets to them, it's even more thrilling. Personally, I managed to find a great betting site on https://www.mightytips.com/bookmakers/uk-betting-sites/ , and there are many types of sports to place bets, so I think you might find something like that there.

I don't like extreme sports, and in general, risk is not about me. Therefore, it is even more surprising that I decided to try my hand at sports betting. I was looking for a bookmaker that I could trust for a long time and decided to choose Caesars. Also, I found [Caesars Ohio promotion (code)](https://www.pennlive.com/betting/ohio/caesars-sportsbook/) which can be used to get great bonuses to start betting on sports.
