LineRider/SkiBattle
LineRider was a simple but addicting application in which you drew a line and then set a little fellow sledding down it. Some people, in spite of its limited drawing tools and interface, created quite elaborate worlds (Warning: Music) to slalom through. My efforts at it were somewhat less successful, with my sledder crashing and burning at the first opportunity; or else missing a jump and spiralling down, down, down through infinity. Or until I hit the stop button.
LineRider 2 came out a couple of weeks ago, and it’s got more and better tools, especially an eraser.
Or (via Ursi’s Blog) you could try SkiBattle (pictured), which allows you to add clip art, snow and music. The site isn’t complete—the link to a forum where you can post your creations and discuss them isn’t active yet.
I still wipe out on a regular basis, so I’m thinking that there’s a big problem with these programs.
