Slalom
Carve down a snowy mountain against the clock. Thread red and blue flag gates to earn extra seconds, dodge trees, rocks and a grumpy yeti, and spin tricks off ramps.
Slalom is a downhill skiing arcade game seen from above, with crisp white snow, pine trees and falling flakes. You steer a little skier left and right while gravity does the rest, carving fresh tracks between the red and blue flag gates. The clock starts at thirty seconds and every gate you pass through adds time back, so a clean line keeps the run alive while a sloppy one drains it fast.
Missing a gate costs two seconds, and hitting a tree, rock or gate pole costs three plus most of your speed. Snowy bushes only slow you down. Gates in a row build a streak that multiplies their points, snow ramps launch you into the air where steering spins the skier for 360 tricks worth bonus points and time, and further down the mountain a yeti may charge across the slope. Gates get narrower, come faster and obstacles crowd in as you descend. Every 800 meters you reach a checkpoint that adds five seconds and moves you onto a harder run, from Bunny Hill to Yeti Ridge, and your furthest run is saved.
It is a breezy winter racing game for quick sessions on phone or desktop. Tip: aim for the near side of each gate early so you can swing wide toward the next one without braking.
How to play
Steer the skier left and right down the slope. Pass between each pair of flags to add 1.5 seconds and build a streak for bigger points; missing a gate costs 2 seconds and crashing into trees, rocks, poles or the yeti costs 3 seconds and speed. Hit a ramp and steer in the air to spin for trick bonuses. Checkpoints every 800 meters add 5 seconds. The run ends when the timer reaches zero.
