Ski3

Ski3 is a modern take on the classic SkiFree game, bringing back the nostalgic gameplay with very good graphics. The basic gameplay is very basic and offers a thrilling experience of skiing down a slope while being chased by a yeti(sometimes), all set in a visually stunning environment with a day and night cycle (and snowstorms). Speaking of graphics, they are very polished and well-done, much better than your average first time indie game. Very immersive snowy mountain setting. Back on the gameplay, it is fast-paced and can get challenging, with players having to maneuver through obstacles, trying to score points and also hoping to shrug off the Yeti. Also the map seems to be infinite. One of the standout features of Ski3 is the hardmode, which offers a very large score multiplier but also ramps up the difficulty, by having to play only during the night with a massive snowstorm to cope with. The yeti also becomes slightly faster(I think). To help with navigation during the night, you are given a lantern. Without it its impossible, so remember to press E to toggle it (i skipped trough the entry message, and didnt know, had to figure it out myself) On the other side of the spect…

Ski3 is an unabashed, lazy ripoff of SkiFree (Copyright Microsoft, 1991). Many lazy "amateur" developers don't pay attention to their obligations under copyright law, and often steal the ideas of actual, real game developers without credit, such as the "developer" here has done. Don't believe me, check Tetris Holdings LLC vs Xio Interactive. Putting aside the unethical intellectual, creative and moral bankruptcy of stealing someone else's game concept, this is also breaking that unwritten law of stealing other people's game ideas... you should at least try to do better than the game you're ripping off. Ski3 is considerably worse than SkiFree."Ski3" ripoff What do you do in the game? It's SkiFree but (badly) rendered in 3D. The worlds first endless runner, I guess, but in this case ripped off and infringing copyright. The graphics aren't great, very mediocre 3D rendering, Unreal is capable of a lot better than this. That's understandably a turn off for a lot of gamers, and it's a big contributor to the failure of the game to attract gamers despite having no up-front cost. Gaming is a primarily visual medium, and if developers want to succeed, they must understand that it…

Fun game, remind me of that old DOS/windows game. pretty well optimized too but it seems as if it was released in a rushed state

this game is made by epic games, my firewall blocked something when i launched the game.

This had the potential to be a fantastic update to the 90s classic SkiFree, but unfortunately it's ruined by a myriad of bugs. Out of five attempts (“runs”), three of them were plagued by a game menu that would not close, forcing me to play with it permanently superimposed on the screen. In another run, I skied into a massive crevasse (cool to see such landscape features implemented) I couldn’t escape from and had to alt+tab out and force-close the application (not cool to see such landscape features were, in fact, game-halting glitches). The fifth run started off well and even transitioned into a cool “night” section, but I eventually got stuck in some trees (i think? its pitch black and thus impossible to tell) with no way to get out. This could've been an awesome portion of the game but, again, it was executed terribly. What’s especially frustrating is that getting trapped in ditches or trees doesn’t trigger a game over or reset as one would expect — instead they leave the player stuck in such a way that their only recourse is to hard-reset the game. That said, when everything works as intended, the game feels fun and genuinely addictive. With better polish and bug fixe…
