Sanki

It's winter. Let's go sledding. Ride the slope until you stop or crash.

Controls

  • x/z - confirm
  • arrow keys - you can turn your sled in the air to pull of some sweet tricks

This is not a game in the traditional sense. There is no score or goal. Just give yourself a minute or two to unwind and enjoy the ride. Happy Holidays!

But what does Sanki mean?

"Sanki" is Polish for "sledding". I grew up in a high-rise suburb of Warsaw. We used to have a lot of snow in winter. Some of my most cherished childhood memories are about going sledding with my friends and family. It was something that brought the entire community together just to have fun and spend time with each other. For some reason this has stuck with me more than the actual Christmas celebrations. It was the inspiration for this little project.

Very cool, very fun. Although there is no score being kept I still found it enjoyable watching the 360 and 720 pop up :) Great work!

Is there a way to download this? I really love everything about it, and want to have access offline.

Beautiful game

Amazing

Honestly, as someone who grew up in Warsaw too, this reminds me of the big hill at the edge of Park Moczydło. When I was younger, I sledded there a lot. Also, I think a better translation for "sanki" is "sled" (the noun), but it's also sometimes used as the verb, so it's not that big of a deal.

the ending after crashing is so sweet  :"))

you see neck as sweett

Hallo Krystian! Ich bin Lehrbeauftragter an der Universität Köln und habe in meiner Dissertation zu deinem Spiel "Trauma" geschrieben. Nun suche ich verzweifelt nach einer Möglichkeit, dich zu kontaktieren. :) Kannst du mir eine Mailadresse nennen? Du findest mich auch auf Instagram als @digital_stranger_

Hallo. Ich bin unter >>ich (at) krystian.de<< zu erreichen

unrestrained winter fun. 10/10 perfect advent calendar trinket

Even though there are no high scores and there is no timer, I feel the need to keep playing again and again. There aren't enough words in my vocabulary to describe how satisfying this game is, and I have a pretty big vocabulary.

<3

pls fix

i will be playing this FOREVER (even in summer lol)

I've been addicted to this game since its launch, probably because of the timing where I met it, it was a very cool experience.

This is a really cozy and cute game! :D

On my first crash, I laughed at the same time the little character started laughing! Perfectly simple concept to bring a smile to the face :)

Fantastic, and I really love that the little guy starts laughing when the game ends!

This is such an amazing game Krystian. 
The "feel" of the snow, nailing the landings, the music.

Just pure fun - a perfect entry. 👏😊
