im not sure if it works with vista, i just tried to download it and it said some shit about it not being compatible with windows 6.0... i read the faq section and it said that they had already started the game when they found out about jibberish. they decided to keep going with development but not play jibberish to avoid influences.

no the DOS command prompt shows up and the screen goes to full screen resolution, goes black, then changes back to the changed resolution but doesn't turn back to the regular screen. It stays like that until you exit out the DOS prompt.

i have xp and it runs fine, its really addictive. you control the skier with your mouse. you can go cork and do underflips, d spins with ease

after reading the tips page, it seems like a sick game though, everything is controlled through your mouse. this would make underflips and corks and everything so much more challenging and fun.

I totally agree with you. I'm pretty stoked to see what this game evolves into in the near future. I'd like the graphics to become WAY better and other interactions easier or what not.

what would be awsome is this control scheme with jibberish levels and graphics or beter. they should partner up our something

You should have known that macs have less program compatibility when you bought one.  Your fault sorry.

i think the game sucks, but if jibbin' adopted the mouse controls for axis rotations it would be cool.
