Just Ski+

very fun, very chill

Fun and addicting.. A great game to unwind with. It takes some practice to get a hang of the controls, but once it starts to *click* and you get that intuitive feel for it, the gameplay is very satisfying. It would be great to see some new runs added, but I can't complain with the price I paid.

I paid money for this game. But it is good so i am not angry it becoming free to play.

Would have recommended the game while it was still not free, but now that it is free I recommend it even more. While the game is relatively short (depending on how fast you get the hang of it) it is pretty entertaining and can be relaxing. The perfect precursor to Jeff Weber's other great game, That Flipping Mountain.

Just Ski is simply fun and relaxing.

It has a minimalist aesthetic, easy to learn but difficult to master gameplay, and a soothing soundtrack. This is the perfect game for just chilling out and enjoying some no-nonsense physics challenges.

And it's soon to be made free!

This game is fun but feels far too short. I guess I do still have some more achievement to get but I believe that I have beaten the main game. I'd say it's worth the money, especially on sale.

Completion State:
Reached the cabin (2.1 hours 100% achievements)

Comments:
This is a cool little physics game where I as the player am tasked with getting a two dimensional skier to the end of a course and safely home to their cabin. The controls are ostensibly simple, move the mouse down to make the skier crouch, move the mouse up to make them extend. This effects the on-screen skiers speed but more importantly their rotation in the air. On the face of it, very easy, but in reality using it to good effect to control the skier in the air and nail landings is pretty damn tricky. Fortunately or unfortunately depending on your point of view, you can actually cheat it a little with a very specific technique that can make reaching the end fairly trivial but I recommend trying it the intended way first otherwise it loses a little of it's charm.

The single colour [and white] art style and sounds are minimalistic at best but are used well and the overall style is cohesive and interesting. I really like how progress is shown by the sky colour transitioning from colour to colour as I made it further and further towards the ending.

Overall, a short and cheap physics game that's absolutely worth trying.

NOTE: Game completed before the Just Ski + update.

I'm changing my review:
Before, I had not recommended it, saying that $3 was too much for such a short game.
I am now recommending the game, as long as it is on sale.

I couldn't stop thinking about this game for some reason. It drew me back after a couple months of not playing it.

It's just fun! Very relaxing, and when you stick the landings it's so satisfying.

Great quarantine game 9/10 (as long as it's on sale for $1 or less)

This game is amazing in it's own way... You don't get 1000 hours long gameplay with 50 characters to choose and customize. It's a small addicting game with simple controls. Great choice if you just want to chill and enjoy your free time.

This game is nice and simple and fun to try and master.

The free flip mechanic is honestly more realistic than any other ski or snowboarding game I've played because you have to control the speed of your flip by tucking or untucking and then time it so you can land.

It took me about 2+ hours of practice to reach the goal, which was across multiple days.

It would be nice to be able to get another level and/or have a level editor or something, I'd keep playing longer if it were so.

Please PM me when you add the horizontal bend - the waist. Nothing frustrates me more than launching and knowing there is no saving this jump. Let me land on my back, Let me land on my ski tips and roll forward.

Please give me a restart button for when I know I'm screwed.

Please let me autostart.

Please let the start section be faster.

Also, I am not nearly patient enough to land 5+ jumps successfully. I put in dozens of hours hours on Crash and Burn because the reset is super fast, like playing Super Meat Boy. Let me save progress. Let me choose levels.

a fun wee free game, decent fun if you want to fill a bit of time

As someone who enjoys a good challenge in a game, I found this little game ridiculous. Maybe I missed something in the controls, but I got so tired of landing on my head and having to restart and making no progress. Ever time I landed it felt like I just lucked out. Getting Over It was a more enjoyable experience than this one.

Just Ski is a fun physics based game, that is unfortunately short. As soon as I really started to get the hang off things and get into the gameplay, I finished the one course on offer. Wish there was more content but was still a fun and somewhat challenging game to chill out to while I chatted to friends on discord.

Edit: Took me 2.5 hours to beat one run through, and 6.3 hours to do it front flip only. I rate it.

It's only $3 so a lot can be forgiven, but there are no checkpoints so the only way to win is to have a perfect run and that can be a bit tedious if you just want a pleasant and easy skiing game

A nice game to casually play in the background

I just beat the game. It's very fun, reminds me of Ski Stunt Simulator.

No procedual generation of levels. You go through all the colors and start over if you die. Very short, but it's three bucks so w/e I just wish there was more levels or challenge.

Couldnt figure out how to change from mouse steering to keyboard steering, so I decided to chargeback. But after a while I actually enjoyed using mouse as steering mechanic, so no need for a keyboard for this game, and I actually hope you never allow it. Great game!

Cool easy concept of a game.

-Simple and easy to learn

- Chill and relaxing - (recommend your own music and just cruise away with your perfect landings.)

Have fun <3 And God bless you

This is like Ski Stunt Simulator (2001 by Motion Playground) but simplified and only one level. I understand the positive reviews because Ski Stunt Simulator was an amazing indie game before it's time. But this is like a demo of a beta compared to the original. Sorry. Do I recommend this game? Yes and no, but mostly no. I love the concept and the original is not easy to find today but the original is like the full game of this demo.

This game is quite hard and I really can't seem to get very far before dying (a minute at the most). I usually hate games like this but for some reason I find myself coming back to it. The game is controlled only with the mouse: move the cursor down to speed up or spin faster, move it up to slow down or jump.

Just. Ski.

No awful menus, settings, controls or anything.

It's challenging and simple. A burst of top quality game priced perfectly.

10/10

It's really good, but too frustrating for me. It reminds me of Elastomania (not gameplay, but an idea). E-mania was frustrating too, but it was level-based, so you didn't have to start from the beginning each time you fail.

Очень приятная игра, но мне на нее терпения не хватает. Напоминает Elastomania (не геймплеем, а идеей). Разница в том, что в E-mania были уровни ине приходилось начинать все заново при каждой неудаче.
