Skiing Yeti Mountain
Platform: iOS, Android
It's time to ski in Featherweight's action sports game Skiing Yeti Mountain, free for your mobile device. After training with the Pathmaster, learning the art of good slalom, you find he has been attacked and killed by...something. And since you were on the slopes to track down a yeti anyway, you just assume the yeti got him. Simple and intuitive one touch control will have you competitively gliding down the mountain in no time. Simply touch, hold, and swipe to control your skier. If you're on a phone, it can all be easily done with your thumb. The goal is to make it down each course by passing by markers either on the left or right, depending on the direction the arrow points. If you hit a tree, or pass a marker on the wrong side, you have to start the level over. Keep an eye out for icy patches, cliffs, and deep snow, as these affect your control in different ways.
Apparently the mountains are full of conspiracy theorists, because you're not the only one there. As you head through the courses, you'll meet an interesting bunch people. There's Gary, who is convinced he's the best skier around, or Angela, who is convinced she's found evidence of aliens, among others. They come and talk to you from time to time, each creating their own little narrative. You gain experience with each run you pass, which ups your FARSE (Federated Association of Radical Slalom Enthusiasts) ranking and gives you access to cool gear you can equip on your skier. If you can beat the clock, you get even more XP, and you can always go back to try and better your score. Skiing Yeti Mountain is a surprisingly addictive little game. The short levels make you think you always have time for one more, or are a perfect time waster for when you only have a couple of minutes. The controls are wonderfully smooth, and the hint of an underlying story, along fun pixel art, and the short bursts of action packed skiing make this one definitely worth the download.

There is an alternate control scheme, accessible in the options menu, where you swipe at the angle you want to go. It feels more precise to me.
