How surf_ski plays
surf_ski is a Surf map. Hold left/right into each ramp and steer with the mouse — no jumping, just air-strafing down the slopes. Skill maps are checkpoint races; combat-surf maps drop you into fights mid-glide. Movement, not aim, is the whole game. On Combat Skirmish it runs directly in your browser through WebAssembly — click Play and you are dropped straight onto a live public server, no Steam account or download required.

Tips for surf_ski
The map that taught most of the community to surf. You are riding the sloped faces of the ramps, not walking: strafe into the slope and let the engine's physics carry you. It will feel wrong for twenty minutes and then suddenly not. Do not fight the ramp.
