  • 10I thought this was the funniest game I've played in a long while! The controls are a little weird though. How come I can't do anything after I fall down on my skis? I have to restart the application. Anyways, I laughed a ton with this game, and I'm showing it to all my really cool friends!
  • 6Hehe, good remake. I like the new style graphics. Needs a bit of polish for a top score but it's a fun game nevertheless...
