Horatio Goes Snowboarding
A lovely homage to classic skiing games, full of charm and character. Horatio is a brilliant chap and I hope we see more of him.
Classic mode sees you running across a road to get a copter to the slopes, then snowboard down the mountain, avoiding trees and other obstacles (the Yeti is marvellous and will have you swearing at the screen)
Whatever you do, make sure you unlock the Endless mode (you just need a lifetime total of a million points, doesn’t take too long) as this concentrates on the boarding and features an absolute corker of a tune that really kicks in around the 50 gate mark. It’s worth playing for that alone.

Great snowboarding game , it has two modes and leadearboards. It has perfect run/chain and many ways to get bonus points similar to another great game: Xotic .
The developer added discomode: night and day cycle in the endless mode with crazy nights lights and music tempo accelerator when you get to the checkpoints and it slows down when you miss the flags. They added some extra stuff to make the game more fun and added more options for bonus points like the bot skiers.
As a suggestion : add an endless mode clasic with no discomode for players who don’t want the bling , i find the effects a little distracting when going for the highscores. A dude in the forums was asking for an endless zen mode with lower difficulty maybe add the same levels but with lower speed , it’s a great mode for players who say the game is to hard and for hardcore players to learn the levels :)

Just Ski+
I love the premises of this Unity game - you can choose in fact between better graphics or better performance, instead of the usual stupid “ultra”, “poor”, “medium” and such qualities.
This is a small physics indie game, small even because it’s short, and minimalistic for sure - the whole game has in fact just two colors.
The white of the snow will be the main color of the whole game, since you’re playing as a skier, while the rest of the minimalistic world will be colored of black, red, orange, blue and so on.

Just Ski is fun physics game but it lacks a lot of basic features that you would expect from this genre. As of right now, there is only one map that you have to beat with no save points. It probably takes around 10 minutes, not that you could do on a first try. As you can see I have been trying to beat it for over 5 hours. In other words, you will replay the first section a lot (like 50 times at least). Somehow I am not bored of it just yet. Something about the relaxing music and the atmosphere makes the deaths less stressful.

That Flipping Mountain
Tl;dr: It’s a masterpiece. If you consider yourself a gamer you’ve got to play this.
That Flipping Mountain is inspired by Getting Over It but it’s not a Getting Over It clone. By gameplay and even more by style it’s much closer to Jeff Weber’s previous game Just Ski and definitely a worthy successor. As such it even starts after the same hut where Just Ski has ended. On from the first tree to over devil’s chimney and the ice cliff to the radio tower it features various elements of Getting Over It in its own style, just enough to recognize and appreciate these elements that have been perfectly adapted for the setting and gameplay of That Flipping Mountain.

This is - by far - the best rage game I’ve ever played. The secret to its success? It has perfect controls - unlike most rage games, which find their difficulty by making their games hard to play, That Flipping Mountain gives players a character that controls perfectly - at any point they can predict the exact location to which they’ll make him jump - the only thing they have to worry about is making sure that their character sticks the landing. This isn’t easy by any means - it took me nearly 20 hours to beat the game - but the difficulty is entirely fair, and there are no unexpected surprises - as long as the player can master flipping, they will eventually beat the game!
