This is the 1st major update for Just Ski.
Just Ski is a difficult game. So far, only 6% of players have completed it by making it to the cabin.
This update aims to increase that number by making things a bit more approachable for those that desire it.
If you are already a master of the game then grab the update, turn off the checkpoints with a single click, and ski down to the end to checkout the new cabin scene.
See below for all the details.
Checkpoints
With this update, when checkpoints are enabled, you will no longer be required to ski the entire course without a single crash. Instead, there will be 3 checkpoints along the way.
If and when you crash and restart, you will respawn at the furthest checkpoint you passed. You now have no excuse for not getting to the cabin.
How To Turn Checkpoints On/Off
The checkpoint system is optional and can be very easily toggled on and off. Simply hit the checkpoint toggle button on the bottom of the main screen and ski.
Achievements and Flipping Stats Caveat
There are some caveats to the checkpoint system. I didn't want to make things too easy, so you won't be able to earn most the achievements when using checkpoints. Checkpoints do not need to be disabled to earn achievements, but if you start off from a checkpoint, rather than the beginning of the course, you will not be eligible for achievements.
In addition to no achievements when starting from checkpoints, you also will not get any flipping stats for your run unless you start from the beginning.
Progress Indicator
Lastly, I also added a progress indicator to the top left of the screen to show how far you have to go until the next checkpoint or the cabin depending on the situation.
I hope those that quit this game due to it's difficulty give it another go.
Enjoy!
