Play the flash game here: http:\/\/www.mcfunkypants.com\/2010\/snowboggan\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Snowboggan!<\/strong> is a 3d flash game. \u00a0I\u2019ve always wanted to write a toboggan simulator, where you can speed down a snowy hill on a sled, dodging trees and smashing into snowmen. \u00a0This weekend\u2019s\u00a0game jams<\/a> finally gave me the chance. \u00a0Check it out! \u00a0I would love to read your comments and warmly encourage you to let me know what you think.<\/p>\n

Use the arrow keys to go left and right, and try to take out as many snowmen as you can!<\/p>\n

In this game, you are immortal. \u00a0It was created for fun, and no matter what happens you can always climb back to the op of the hill and start again. \u00a0There is a hint of danger, however: if you smash into a tree or hit the \u201cthin ice\u201d signs, you might get flipped over! \u00a0If you do get flipped over, simply hit the \u201cClick to restart\u201d button on the top left.<\/p>\n

The objective of the game is to\u00a0discover<\/strong> gravity, prove that snowmen are not at allimmortal<\/strong>, and avoid the\u00a0thin ice<\/strong> while gravity is constantly\u00a0drawing<\/strong> you to the bottom of the hill. \u00a0These words are bolded because those were the secret \u201ctheme\u201d words for the game jams I participated in.<\/p>\n

This game was programmed using FlashDevelop for a pure as3 project, compiled using Flex, and the engines are away3d for graphics, jiglib for physics and Flint for particle effects. \u00a0All sounds were created by me using a microphone. \u00a0The guitar and snow sounds were done with my hands and mouth, and the sliding snow sound was the microphone rubbing up against my winter jacket. \u00a0It was an absolute blast to program and I learned a lot. \u00a0Thanks for playing. \u00a0Enjoy!<\/strong><\/p>\n
