Solipskier

By Joe Bergeron 12 August 2010 One Comment

I was fortunate enough to port a super fun flash game called Solipskier to iOS.

Solipskier is a fast paced skiing game where you draw the slopes with your mouse (or your finger) and an animated skier rides along. Obstacles come whipping by and it’s up to you to guide Solipskier through safely! If you hit a red gate, a wall of snow, or just plain fall below the bottom edge, Solipskier takes a comical fall to his splatworthy death! The music is great. It is one of those addicting games, but my favorite part about it is once you get the hang of it, it is really fun!

Solipskier can be played for free on Kongregate and you can also find it on the App Store. Android fans shouldn’t fret. You’ll see it soon.

It was great working with my friends Mikengreg porting this game to iOS. Once upon a time we sailed the same ship called Intuition Games.

Given I have a full time job, it took us 3 months to port Solipskier from flash to iOS. There were some tricky parts, but nothing we couldn’t handle. It took a bunch of weekends, a trip to Florida, and lots of Skype high fives to finish, but it was a pleasant experience! My girlfriend was even cool enough to support me the whole time! She’s pretty rad.

To top off the day, Solipskier is currently a featured App in the App Store!
