“Sledding Game”: The Funniest Sledding Game You’ll Play This Year
If you were making your very first video game, what would it be? For solo developer Max, the answer is a delightful surprise: a cozy, physics-based multiplayer title called “Sledding Game”.
I recently jumped into its demo to see what it’s all about. And let me tell you, it’s far more chaotic (and fun) than I expected. From tumbling ragdoll physics to snowball fights with strangers, Sledding Game feels like a mix of Gang Beasts meets Steep, but with fwogs.
What Is “Sledding Game”?
At its core, Sledding Game is exactly what it sounds like: a silly, online multiplayer sledding simulator where up to 50 players can race, tumble, or simply hang out on a snow-covered mountain.
- Create or join a lobby with friends or randoms,
- Hop on your sled and start zooming down the slope,
- Explore the open snowy map, which includes ski lifts, cannons, and some… mysterious mountain creatures.
It’s currently only available as a demo, with no confirmed release date yet. But even in this early stage, it’s already packed with charm.
Getting Started: Easy Controls, Quick Fun
The game wastes no time getting you sledding. The tutorial is short and simple. Within five minutes, I was already sliding downhill, doing flips, and trying not to face-plant into the snow.
Here’s how it works:
- Left analog stick → steer your sled
- Right analog stick → control the camera
- Buttons → interact with world objects (like ski lifts or snowballs)
That’s it. Super accessible. Perfect for anyone who just wants to jump in and goof around with friends.
Ragdoll Physics and Trick Scoring
One of the highlights of the Sledding Game is its ragdoll physics. Every fall, flip, and crash looks hilariously unpredictable. When you lose control of your sled, your fwog-like avatar tumbles down the slope like a limp noodle and it never stops being funny.
The game even rewards you for doing tricks, getting big airtime, and nailing clean landings. It’s part skill, part chaos, and entirely fun.
Two Ways to Reach the Top
Once you’ve sledded down, you’ve got to make your way back up, and Sledding Game gives you two hilarious options:
- Take the ski lift for a scenic (and calm) ride up the mountain.
- Use the cannon to blast yourself uphill in seconds.
Pro tip: Don’t aim too high. Rumor has it that a Yeti is living at the peak, and players who’ve “visited” don’t always make it back down in one piece.
Beyond Sledding: Snowball Fights and Exploration
While sledding is the main event, the Sledding Game doesn’t stop there. You’re free to roam the entire map, explore hidden areas, and, my personal favorite, throw snowballs at other players.
These unscripted, sandbox moments are what make the demo feel alive. You might start sledding competitively but end up forming alliances to pelt that one guy hogging the ski lift queue.
Final Verdict: Is “Sledding Game” Worth Trying?
Absolutely. Even as a demo, Sledding Game already shows huge promise as a social multiplayer sandbox. For a demo made by a solo developer, Sledding Game runs surprisingly smoothly. The physics are solid, the visuals are charmingly stylized, and the multiplayer lobbies handle dozens of players without major lag.
If you enjoy physics-based party games, casual multiplayer, or just love the sound of fwogs on sleds, this is one to watch.
