THE AXE GAMES
is a short viking snowboarding game in which a viking rides a Plasma TV Screen downhill.
Everybody is going to participate the AXE GAMES. The only problem: there aren't any shields for you left to ride on. Thus you decide to rip the plasma TV off the wall and ride on that.
Controls
-------
[Left Arrow] [Right Arrow] or [A] [D]: Move Left/Right
[Return]: Restart after dying

Also, the game seems to work fine in Safari.
Cool music, challenging, nice pixel graphics.
Gentlemen, this job is well done! Congrats.

I think stuff could have just vanished faster because it's hard to quickly see when it's safe to move to some spot, or stuff might be hidden behind trees. especially the middle lane can be very tricky.
I had some problems to determine when an object on a certain lane disappears. so sometimes i crashed into one stone or tree horizontally. This might be to long fading times.
But nevertheless, great game, i enjoyed playing it!
Wish to have a special mode to cut the tree down or take the wife with me. :-)
I think you reversed the zoom effects on trees and rocks, it should begin to appear slowly then go faster when it comes to the camera, like in reality :)
Fun! and the vickins animations are awesome!
I liked the game, but felt a lack of progression... The day started to get darker at some point, but then I hit something and it looked like I went back to the start...
Graphics were great, and somewhat reminded me of a stage from The Lion King for Mega Drive. The music was really fitting!
- The graphics. Top pixel art, well done.
- The music. Perfect. Reminded me of 1080 avalanche (a gamecube snowboarding game)
- The idea. Making a two button left-right snowboarding isn't very original. Making one with a Viking though? Wonderful.
Disliked:
- How my snowboarder sprite blocked what was in front of him. Maybe some kind of "see-through" effect would fix this
- How much sprites slowed down as I passed them. The pace seemed unnatural, and made the game difficult in a frustrating way.
Overall I enjoyed playing though. With a few small changes this could be a very addicting little minigame.
