Cryptid backcountry carving for one or two!

Made in 11 days for Game-like Jam #4: SkiFree. Use your immense skill and knowledge gained from your life living in the snowy woods to absolutely shred the slope and try not to crash into trees while doing it. Dual-Squatch Mode can be played alone for more challenge, but it's more fun with a friend.

A very very special thanks to my wife felicitykbye for ideas and artwork! I wouldn't have finished this without her.

maybe I'm just biased because I love me a good cryptid game, but I was so excited to get to play the sasquatch when I saw it in the discord! 

I do wish there was an extra layer of collecting things or trick shots so that not only is there an incentive to move more, but when you do play with a 2nd player, there's something to compete against.

very charming game! love the touch of sfx and ui fx with the start and gameover screens too

Thank you for playing! I'm planning on coming back to this game someday and updating it, I'll keep your review in mind! Collectables are definitely on the to-do list. :)

Most like original - 4/5

Most creative twist - 2/5 

The PICO-8 style is cute. I wish I could go faster/increase a difficulty slider for more challenge. Good job.

Thanks for playing and thank you very much for the review! 

Someday after the jam is over I'd like to come back to this game and add a few more features/polish/etc. I'll keep speed and difficulty in mind.
