Good artwork, I like the hunt for skiers! Was much fun to play, what better could I say?
haha i saw your game on twitter, i love the concept! running down the skier is kinda humorous in its own way
Fun game, good use of the theme, good job!
Shredding powder at mach 5 while eating every blue shirt wearing skier in sight is as much fun as it sounds lol. love the SkiFree reversal, great entry.
Feels very good! Nice work
I love it! Maybe add some kind of health recharge variance for certain kills (change the skier's shirt colors or something to show how valuable they are), and a multiplier for chaining within x seconds or multi kill multiplier for ground pounds off the jumps.
I really like the skier shirt color idea. I think that would be a lot of fun to try to get the really valuable ones. We definitely wanted combos, but ran out of time in the jam. Thanks for the feedback!
May the Yetis forever prevail!
Pretty fun! Got 17100 score, but the game does need a difficulty build up. I found that it is advantageous to bump in rocks from time to time to decrease speed, as at high speeds it was pretty difficult to eat skiers.
We had found the same kind of strategy while we were developing. We were internally debating whether it was better to cap at a max speed or have the player try to manage their speed using the strategy you mentioned. Still unsure what the best way is to handle speed, but it will likely be one of the big factors that plays into increasing difficulty over time. Thanks for playing and the detailed feedback!
Loved it! Try my game too!
Right in the feels! Brings back childhood memories. Great game and quite fun!
Great game! Really fun.
I believe you should exaggerate death animation a bit, throw some blood particles, skip a frame, add screen shake, I'm almost certain it would only make it more fun.
really great feedback! I agree all of that would help it feel a lot more impactful. Thanks for playing!
Ton of fun, really enjoyed that, especially the jumping. Art style is really close to the original though. But I think you followed the theme perfectly.
We are both programmers so we are still trying to level up our art abilities. We made all the art from scratch this jam, but we were unsure if staying more retro for the yeti or remaking his appearance would have been better. Definitely something we will think about more now! thanks for the feedback and playing!
Fun game! I scored 6425 points and loved smashing people from the ramp XD
Very enjoyable and fun. been laughing the whole time haha
Pretty good game. I love the eat sound effect it's perfect. The game would benefit from the yeti getting faster over time or something. Overall good job!
very cool addicting game, it needs difficulty increase in time badly, but it is very good concept with much potential
Yes, we definitely agree about increasing difficulty with time. We wanted to have ski patrol and stuff trying to come tranquilize you, but had to cut a lot just to make it doable for a jam. Thanks for playing!
I think this is now my favorite game. Got 10,000 and died. But please continue with this!
Thanks so much for playing and the kind words! We definitely want to keep adding more to it.

Fun game! I stopped playing at 8000 points as it didn't seem to be getting harder.
We wanted to tune difficulty a little bit better, but ran out of time. Definitely on our to-do list! thanks for playing!
Good stuff! I like the game over animation, very fitting haha.
