Solipskier is a
sports video game for
Adobe Flash,
iOS, and
Android developed and published by
Mikengreg, a two-man
independent development team consisting of Michael Boxleiter and
Greg Wohlwend. In
Solipskier, the player draws the snowy slope for an on-screen skier to pass through
slalom gates and tunnels. The character accelerates with downhill sections and can launch into the air to perform tricks and earn a higher score. The idea came from a brainstorming session about
parallax scrolling with speedy action in the foreground and the ability for the player to "paint" the terrain. It was Boxleiter and Wohlwend's first game to receive public appreciation. It was released August 29, 2010 to generally favorable reviews and was a runner-up in the 2011
Game Developers Conference Independent Games Festival's Best Mobile Game category.
