About the Game

Grab your Ski's and race downhill while avoid melting ice caps and perilous pits in Skilander!

Proudly utilizing Ken Silverman's Build engine to provide what's possibly the first ever tactical FPS (First Person Skiing) game ever!

Skilander is a game designed with the fun of speedrunning in mind and comes with an easy Quick reset, encouraging competitive play and improving your times through the built-in high score system.

You play as Connor MacGleisberg, taking on the challenge of mastering 3 difficult Skiing slopes.

But you are not alone! The legendary ski shop maintainer Seppo from the city of Jaemsae is there to provide you valuable assitance! Remember – when in doubt, the right way is always the downhill.

Reach speeds you could have never imagined before and control the awesome power of "Snowquelching"!

Some highlights:

- Six funky tracks utilizing Ken's own KDM digital music format for some authentic 90s tech. Never used in Build engine games before!

- Cool speedrunning friendly features such as quick reset, in-game timer and Full Run Tracking

- Three Gnarly stages to master with a fully voiced over fourth tutorial stage to get you started

- Supports both keyboard and controller play, Glorious!

- Want to make maps? Just open one in any compatible BUILD editor, save and play your own creations, Way cool!

- Most of all, expect some Outrageous lighthearted fun!
