ABOUT THE GAME
On a slope with no end point,
Extend skiing time.
"snow!" is a free ski game created by freds72 and PICO-8. There is no finish line on the course, and you slide until you run out of time or fail by colliding with an obstacle, updating the longest time for each course.

Jump up from the snow.
While holding down the ○ button or C key on PICO-8, you will be able to jump, and when you release it, you will jump. The screen shown shows the skier moving away from the slope, and the jump charge and restart operations are displayed at the bottom of the screen.
