Just realized you have to run the yeti into trees to keep them from eating you... Feels like a good moment for a facepalm.

#22hey he doesn't do tricks and he doesn't get fully eaten by the yeti
Nope, not yet. He has five lives because I haven't quite worked out the difficulty of the Yeti yet. Tricks will happen, too, eventually :)
re: tricks; thank goodness! The first thing I did in the air off a jump was try to do a bunch of backflips. Looking forward to that being added.

Re: SkiFree in the Browser
#25amazing finally! you could do tricks though in the original one maybe an addition to patch on the following release ?
The controls are wrong, too. Left and right should rotate the character, but right now they make him turn hard left and hard right. In the original there were also two degrees of left and right turning, so you could navigate with more precision. You could also turn fully horizontal and then use the up arrow to climb the hill sideways. Please fix this! :-)
I knew the original was somehow different too.
Also, couldn't you right-click in the air to do tricks or something?

#26:( The controls aren't the same. I want to make him walk up forever really really slowly.

I noticed this too. In the original, the left and right arrows rotated you. In this, they correspond to 'face left' and 'face right' respectively.
The difference is, in the original if you were facing left and hit the right arrow, you'd rotate one position to the right. This would put you as facing down again. In this, if you're facing left and hit right, you immediately face right. To face down you have to press down.
It's still confusing my muscle memory :(

#28Confirms that I'm still terrible at this game over 20 years later.
Don't worry. Soon there will be a version for Google Glass that will superimpose trees, rocks, other skiers and so on. And then...
Are you saying that soon, there will be monsters which will try to catch me in the street ?

This already happens. They're called "cops".

I watched Harry and the Hendersons as a kid so I'm fairly sure his mountain cousin is a similarly misunderstood gentle giant.
