I struggled to find a balance of the snow yeti speed and the player icon speed. I didn’t want to make it too hard or too easy.

Game Unfinished Component

I wanted to make it slow down the skier when the icon wasn’t on the trail, but I didn’t have time to do this.

Game Next Steps

I think I would add more levels, maybe faster yetis and more gates.

If I had more time I would design different characters for the player and the monsters.
