Skiing Fred

🏂 Skiing Fred: Momentum and Risk Management

Skiing Fred is a standout title in the "Endless Runner" genre, distinguished by its Physics-Based Momentum System. Unlike runners where speed is constant, Fred's speed is variable. It is dictated by the terrain (slope angle) and the player's actions (boosting/braking). The core threat is not just the obstacles in front, but the entity behind: Grimmy (The Reaper). If you slow down too much, you are caught. This forces a playstyle of aggressive speed.

⚡ The Boost Economy

The game creates a Risk/Reward Loop around the Turbo mechanic.

• Earning Boost: To fill the boost meter, players must perform dangerous actions: near-misses with spikes, drifting close to edges, or destroying breakable objects. Playing safely yields no boost.
• Spending Boost: Turbo is essential for clearing large gaps (chasms). A common cause of death is reaching a ramp without enough speed to clear the pit. Thus, the player is forced to play dangerously to survive the jumps.

💀 Procedural Level Generation

The track is generated algorithmically, ensuring no two runs are alike. The "Director AI" mixes different biomes and trap densities:

• Slalom Sections: High density of pillars requiring tight turning radius.
• Ice Caverns: Low friction surfaces where steering is slippery and delayed (drift mechanics).
• Meteor Storms: Dynamic hazards falling from the sky, forcing reaction-based dodging rather than memorization.

🛠️ Loadout Strategy

The in-game shop offers distinct gear that alters physics.

• Snowboards: Offer better gliding and speed but lower turning handling.
• Jetpacks: Allow for double jumps or mid-air corrections, acting as a safety net for failed physics calculations.
