Imagine you are skiing down an infinite slope, facing such hazards as
trees, ice, bare ground, and the man-eating Yeti! Unfortunately, you have
put your jet-powered skis on backwards, so you can't see ahead where you
are going; only behind where you have been. However, you can turn to
either side, jump or hop through the air, teleport through hyperspace,
launch nuclear ICBMs, and cast spells to call the Fire Demon. And since
the hazards occur in patches, you can skillfully outmaneuver them. A fun
and very silly game that proves you don't need fancy graphical user
interfaces to have a good time.

The game is very simple. There is an 8x8 array of jewels of 7 types. You
need to get 3 or more in a row horizontally or vertically in order to
score points. You can swap any two jewels that are next to each other
up and down or left and right. The mechanic is to click the mouse on the
first one, then drag in the direction to switch with. Then let up on the
mouse button, but this last isn't so critical.
Jewels can only be swapped if after the swap there is at least one 3 or more
in a row set created. Otherwise the jewels return to their original position.
There is a clock shown on the left. When it counts down to 0 the game is over.
You will probably be able to enter your name into the high score table.
Hit enter when done.
Hit F1 or spacebar to start a new game, or ESC to exit.

use with paper and pen.
