I'm excited to announce that Ski! is finally out! It's a simple and fun downhill skiing game that will keep you preoccupied for some time. Some say it reminds them of ski free that came out years ago. This one's silly and I would often catch myself just playing instead of coding when I was still working on it :-)

Some promo codes for your enjoyment:

To read more about it you can also go to ski.clickaboom.com

I have to say that cocos2d turned out to be an excellent choice for my game. The library offers so much functionality that I rarely had to do any OpenGL code outside of what was already provided. This game was created using cocos2d version 0.8.2. I'm glad to see that some of the annoyances of that version have been addressed in 0.9.0, specifically the Sprite and SpriteAtlas merge. Finally I must say I really appreciate the effort that went into creating this library, good job guys!

congrats on your release

i just picked it up on the app store. On my 3G running 3.1.2 there is a very bad flicker. it is a single black line that runs the length of the screen. the position of the line changes constantly and there is never more than one line.

also, after going over a few jumps, the skiers Y position kept going up to the point where the skier was off the top of the screen and i couldn't see him anymore to know where i was

other than that, looks like you did a good job

Thanks for the quick reply and the feedback. I tested it on my 3GS and no flicker there. I wonder if the 3G has some kind of issue or if it's the director. I used CCDirectorTypeDisplayLink not sure if that is compatible with 3G.

I can try and record a video of the flicker that I see if you would like.

Thanks, glad to hear it's working well for you now :-)
I guess I will be able to focus more on content for next release.

I just saw Ski! listed in iTunes app store as one of nine 'Best Winter Games' category. Congrats. I'm curious if being featured in a specific category like that actually translates to any more sales?

Hey thanks, it did help the sales a bit. I didn't even realize that it was featured until I saw your post :-)

I just used AKE946WN9APR. Thanks!

Very solid and responsive. Not a single hint of slowdown or strain on my 3G. Great job! Tweeting about it right now.

I would suggest maybe revising the instructions to be less wall-of-text and more informative.

I got rank 603.
