Game setup

You can access to specific game setup by clicking the ⚙️ on the top right in menus
Here you can enable or disable few settings for your race :

  • 🔊 Sounds
  • 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Spectators (can affect performance)
  • 👻 Ghosts (can affect performance)

You also have the possibility to reset and restore the game to the default content (tracks, ghosts & record).

💡 Tips
Preloaded tracks

By default the game provides 5 tracks, so you can use the same track as your friends even on a different setup.

  1. Davos (Giant slalom)
  2. Adelboden (Slalom)
  3. Soelden (Giant slalom)
  4. Wengen (Super-G)
  5. Zermatt (Downhill)
Different track styles

Each track style follow is own rule.
The dynamic of the skier is also impacted by the style of the track to mimic real world differences.
Note: For your first rides, Giant slalom is a good style to start gaining some experience

Keep your records

RetroSki use localStorage to persist generated tracks and records.
You can easily export them and share them with friends by using the browser developper tools.

Performance

Retroski should be playable on any modern device with an updated browser.
In case of performance trouble, you can try to disable via the game setup the display of spectators and ghosts during the race.

Crash

If your game crash, try to reset & erase all content via the game setup menu to reload original content.
