The goal of Solipskier is simple, as the goal of nearly all free browser games tend to be. You have to guide your little stick-figure man through a series of jumps, gates and tunnels, which is done by drawing the track ahead of him as he goes. Draw a slope, he'll gain speed. Draw a hillock, he'll fly into the air.

Solipskier is pulled together and made brilliant not just by the fluidity of the gameplay though; it's the music and graphics which really sell it. The stark black and white visuals are complemented by rainbows that trail behind your skier. The snowballing speed of the game is emphasised by the frantic guitar riffs that constitute the background music.

Insterestingly, that music also serves another purpose in the house – letting us know when each other are playing, as well as telling us how well we're doing. When my son's headphones start to leak the sound of another violent guitar solo then you know he's playing well. And when the music stops suddenly, you know he's finally fluffed up.

Finally, I've found a game I'm better than my son at.
