Toboggan Jump

By Mike Durrett, About.com

From the Toboggan Jump Web Site: "Inspired by televised winter sporting events from the '70s and the old look classic videogames by Atari, this project puts a humorous spin on a classic game interface. ... The farcical sport of toboggan jumping was created to heighten the game's comical, playful nature. Combined with animated characters who crash and burn on impact, a voiceover of a cynical sports announcer and a competition that's unwinnable, the effect is fun, entertaining and irreverent.
"Unlike other games that require complex user control, the simple interaction of this one makes it much more fun to play. The message: It's not about winning, it's about playing and keeping a sense of humor."

Play online or download the game to your computer. Macintosh and Windows versions are available at wedudesign.com.
