Hex Skiing

Top-down alpine descent through toxic wastelands. Race your opponent downhill through procedurally generated obstacles while outrunning a rising avalanche of radioactive debris.

Hex Skiing P1: 42.3s P2: 39.8s R1

Controls

  • Arrow keys (←/→) or A/D — Steer left/right
  • Gravity handles forward momentum — steering slows you down

Rules

  • Best of 3 rounds with increasing difficulty
  • Dodge trees, rocks, and ice patches as you descend
  • Pass through slalom gates for a time bonus (-2s per gate)
  • Collect speed boosts (lightning bolt) for a 3-second burst
  • Steering reduces descent speed — go straight for maximum velocity
  • Collisions stun you for 1-1.5 seconds (timer keeps running)
  • The avalanche creeps closer — if it catches you, the round is lost
  • Blizzard events reduce visibility periodically
  • First to reach the finish line wins the round
  • If both are engulfed, the skier who descended further wins

Modes

  • Escape — Infinite descent, ever-accelerating avalanche, last skier standing wins
  • Clean Run — No avalanche, no items, pure time trial racing

Difficulty Progression

  • Round 1 — Sparse obstacles, slow avalanche, wide gates
  • Round 2 — More rocks, faster avalanche, medium gates
  • Round 3 — Dense ice patches, fast avalanche, narrow gates

Inspiration

Inspired by Activision Skiing (1980).
