I mean, who doesn't remember sitting down at their computer playing this game?? Oh, memories...\r\rIt seemed like there were some pretty significant gaps where there were no skiiers... not sure if I was just too far in one direction on the X axis or something, but there were a few times where the poor monster almost starved to death.\r\rI made it to the top, but there was only trees blocking my way, and, in the end, the monster succumbed to hunger and died.\r\r5\/5, would eat free again."},{"author_name":"lanestp","author_uid":"49246","time":"Aug 28, 2015 @ 1:48am","epoch":1440726180,"text":"I love, love, love, love the eating animation. Only problem with the game is there aren't enough skiers. I couldn't eat enough of them to stay alive.

The idea is sublime, and I commend the finer touches on having skiiers run into trees, but it was remarkably difficult to survive - my high score is 4. Beautiful use of the theme."},{"author_name":"shawn42","author_uid":"571","time":"Aug 28, 2015 @ 3:52am","epoch":1440733620,"text":"Loved this. So much fun.
