Show HN: I'm making a spiritual successor to Ski Free that runs in a browser

Definitely captures the feel of a ski resort. I really like the feel of controlling the skier too. Performance on my iPad was great in Safari. Nice job so far.

Thank you. 'The feel of a mountain' is what I wanted. "make your own fun"... I'm a performance guy, this game has been optimized to run on old Android phones at 60fps on the web. It absolutely flies on a desktop PC or native mobile, like 1ms for the entire frame.

I think I could add a lot more 'life' to the mountain by going really far with the bot skier AI. Like having them queue up to get on the chairlift, and avoid/flock with each other.

Means a lot to me that you like the feel of the skier. I am the kind of gamedev that will spend an entire week tuning the friction of various mechanics, and I have a huge amount of taste on how things like 'max speed', friction & turning should be done. I've built this taste up over 10 years of making games, and I think I've got good taste, but it still feels great to have someone validate that.
