asciijump is really a tiny little fun game, that you can play alone or with friends on same computer or across network.

It has three play modes, World Cup, Training, and network games. In World Cup, it has players like Erykah Badu, Charlie Parker, Thom York, and Bjrök, all musicians that I do not understand. Ten hills to choose from, Poland, Pakistan, Ukarine, England, Tarnica, Czumulungma (Mount Everest), Finland, and Be Free!.

I always crashed when I first played, finally I realized you need to hit Enter just before landing to perform a telemark landing, whatever that really is. Not just Left and Right to adjust after the jump.

The graphics is really stunning, the hill looks nice and it’s snowing in background, even the players have different outfits.
