Was difficult to gain speed, it seems parallel walls are the easiest but the slide drags you too much to make it from wall to wall, and you lose most momentum by being on the ground, if given more time I'd say a level designed to easily get you to speed and then introduce trickier parts of the environment which would sap your speed would be best, that way you can teach the player how to play well, then challenge them to do it when the environment isn't as friendly to you

I felt really fast and I liked it! The level feels a bit empty, probably due to the lack of music.

I agree with the other comment that some music would really add to the game, but it was overall really fun!

I didn't understand how to gain speed, but it would be great to add graphics, VFX and music

I also think it might be nice to add some more music! Overall, though, the game is really fun!

A nice little game. I was a little lost right out the chute... I somehow got turned sideways without seeing the starting gate and went off the big cliff to the right. Oops. But it restarted me and I got going the right way. Good sound effects, but would have benefited from some music. I wasn't sure what the advantage to sliding was--seemed like I went faster without. I liked the look of the game, and the controls felt nice. Short and sweet. Good work.

Skiing over grass feels so wrong :smirk: Anyway, a nice sliding game with a fun feeling of speed.

Hehe I love that you added a ranking system, you really want to try again, I like that you did something similar to what I did (in terms of interpretation), I've been in the mountains several times and when I was younger I liked to run down (not at this level off course) but IDK it really raised memories.

Good job!

Pretty fun little game. I tried to reach the top score and I found sidejump to pretty useful to proper yourself as there isn't that many places where you can use sliding and velocity is killed too unnaturally when you land.

Well done!
