The linux version doesn't work out of the box for me, and I can't run the windows versions through WINE.

Steps I had to take to get it running on Linux Mint 21.1:

1. Download the Linux x64 java from https://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp This fixes Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-lookup.c: 106: check_match: Assertion `version->filename == NULL || ! _dl_name_match_p (version->filename, map)' failed!
2. Change the command in 'thSuperSki' to use this new java binary. Running at this point will give a new error message Profile GL4bc is not available on X11GraphicsDevice
   
3. As suggested here https://groups.google.com/g/jaer-users/c/G6mZ7EXmiYQ I added _JAVA_OPTIONS="-Djogl.disable.openglcore=false" to the command, which works.

The final content of 'thSuperSki' is thus

#!/bin/sh
APPDIR=$(readlink -f "$0")
APPDIR=$(dirname "$APPDIR")
_JAVA_OPTIONS="-Djogl.disable.openglcore=false" /home/USERNAME/Downloads/jre1.8.0_361/bin/java -Djna.nosys=true -Djava.library.path="$APPDIR:$APPDIR/lib" -cp "$APPDIR:$APPDIR/lib/thSuperSki.jar:$APPDIR/lib/core.jar:$APPDIR/lib/jogl-all.jar:$APPDIR/lib/gluegen-rt.jar:$APPDIR/lib/jogl-all-natives-linux-amd64.jar:$APPDIR/lib/gluegen-rt-natives-linux-amd64.jar:$APPDIR/lib/javamp3-1.0.4.jar:$APPDIR/lib/jsyn-20171016.jar:$APPDIR/lib/sound.jar" thSuperSki "$@"

Where

/home/USERNAME/Downloads/jre1.8.0_361/bin/java

is the path to the java binary downloaded above.

What kind of technology was used to create this game?

As for the game itself, I love how it looks and the amount of fitting music for such a short game is impressive. I couldn't beat stage 4, but everything else was smooth sailing. Good job!

Simple but good.

Just, it's kind of hard to make out which lane the items and obstacles are in.
Also since the game is presented diagonally, the lanes on the sides give less visibility and thus reaction time (IDK if intended)

The pixelart and characters are cute. Look at the panic in their eyes when they're about to get snowballed.

hey, it looks really cool but for some reason whenever i try to play one of the levels the game plays music and freezes up, this happens in both downloads of the game, i'm on windows if that helps
