I am shock I managed to finished this game, in first sight I was thinking it is kinda retro horror game, but I was wrong, it is not horror game, as the character know no fair, When got traced by deer, wolf, bear, Yeti , skier with gun, skier with chainsaw (!), he give no shxt, he just care if he missed a red/blue flag, what a another level of nerdiness, he rather die than missing a flag or missing the time limit!
anyway, not a bad game for spending me 2 hrs

Horace Goes Skiing
Now this is Horace how I remember him: Going skiing.
First, I’ve got to say the intro was a surprise. I won’t spoil it, but somebody went above and beyond in setting the mood, and I appreciate it.
We come to the title screen and I could take issue with the minute or so I spent hitting every key just trying to select the start option… Before finding that it was Ctrl, of all things. And I could take issue with the only choice under Settings being sound on or off. But once all of that was established, it was off to the ski shop.

A little context for the non-Brits out there: Horace Goes Skiing is a game that was originally released in 1982 after Hungry Horace (also available on Steam). It was primarily developed for the ZX Spectrum but did receive a C64 port a couple of years later. It’s a simple affair - cross the road to buy a pair of skis while avoiding the traffic, cross again to get to the ski slope, and … ski. Repeat ad infinitum. It doesn’t get harder over time.
This is essentially a semi-faithful remake of that game built in Unity. It does what it says on the tin - it offers a playable version of Horace Goes Skiing, now in widescreen and with smooth movement. It’s visually almost entirely based on the ZX Spectrum version, but offers up a rendition of the C64 title tune as the Spectrum version’s audio was tantamount to ear rape. It lacks some of the flourishes of the later C64 rendition such as how Horace knocks over flags when he hits them. The hit detection is ludicrously bad.

Winter Sports Games
I was expecting something like the N64 game “Nagano Winter Olympics 98”, in other words: I wasn’t expecting much, but at least something fun. This is not fun. This game is an absolute waste of money and time. For those who don’t know yet, you have to buy it physically to get a Steam key. My strong advice is: don’t. For the love of whatever you believe in, don’t! As another reviewer mentioned, this takes away the opportunity to get a refund, and trust me, you’ll want that.
This game features modes strongly resembling Nagano: Slalom, Downhill, Ski Jumping, Bob (2 people), Luge and Curling.

With curling cancelled, I was looking for a curling fix. Unfortunately, this package didn’t have what I was looking for.
Pros:
The ice surface appeared pebbled and that’s a nice attention to detail.
It looks like the developer cares about making a fun product, and they deserve credit for their efforts.
The control scheme is easy to learn and I can’t complain too much about the controls in general.
Credit for a clever 2-sweeper control scheme.
Cons:
The stones are thrown straight by default, which should be an impossible thing to do.

The Ramp
VERY FUN ESPECIALLY FOR SKATERS!!!
The controls took a bit to get used to but very easy and super flow-like once you get the hang of it.
The problems i have is i wish that once you get air you could then grind upon your landing because the orange box in the skate park bowl map just looks way to tempting :)
I do really wish the creator would announce plans for updates like workshop support, new maps, tricks, custom or other characters, and bowl transitions, this would make it feel like less a tool and more of a mini-game sandbox type which it already feels like but all in all the ‘tool’ is worth the money just wish the creator would get serious.

This game does exactly what it says on the tin, and it does it pretty dang well! If you want a game to just relax and unwind to, or you’re looking for a different skateboarding experience, definitely give this a shot. For the price, it feels like a steal! Yes, it only focuses on one kind of skating and I see how that may not appeal to everyone, but what it does, it does really good. The feeling of gaining momentum or just flowing through tricks on the different ramps (there are more than 1) feels incredibly rewarding. Getting the hang of the controls doesn’t take long either. Buy it! Support awesome stuff like this!

Slopecrashers
Yes! You read right, arcade snowboarding is back! Which means SLOPECRASHERS is crafted with one thing in mind and that is FUN! This starts from the character selection screen and goes down into the core physics of the game. So press START, choose a character, a board and a hangglider, optionally even up to three buddies of yours for SPLITSCREEN MULTIPLAYER and hit the slopes!
STUNTS, STUNTS and more STUNTS. Yes, very important, because the more daring a stunt is, the more speed you will get out of it. Oh and COMBOS! Chain those stunts together with manuals, small tricks and railslides and redeem the combo meter when you are ready for that EXTRA SPEEDBOOST!
Oh, you thought you could go for a chill ride? I mean yeah you can but look out for your opponents causing EXPLOSIONS, MOLES digging up the ground beneath you, ANGRY SNOWMEN trying to stop you and much more. So go collect items and PROTECT yourself or ATTACK the others! (But for those moments when you just want to cruise down the track and explore everything the slopes have to offer you can choose an opponent-free game mode as well)
And btw, these slopes are not just in snow environments. No! Where we’re shredding, WE DON’T NEED SNOW! So don’t wonder if the next race/slalom/stuntshow/… starts in a shopping mall, a hot desert or a tropical jungle area!
