A Snowball's Chance in Hell by Oohoos

[raw]
made by Oohoos for LD 44 (JAM)

Intro:

You find yourself trapped in a hellish dungeon — not a place where a snowball can thrive. The Snow Reaper has confronted you with a proposal. He says he will grant you special powers that may help you escape in return for you offering some of your life source. One thing is for sure: You need to get out of here quickly! Will you take his offer or make your own way?

Instructions / How to play:

A side-scrolling platformer game where you play as a snowball fella. Avoid the obstacles and try to reach the Golden Peanut at the end!

Movement:

A - move left

D - move right

W - jump (hold to jump higher)

Powers (You can pay Death some health to switch powers):

1 - Super speed

2 - Super jumping

3 - Ice powers

Only one power can be active at a time.

With Ice powers active, you can place ice block platforms:

Q - place ice block to the left of you

E - place ice block to the right of you

S - place ice block below you

Only one ice block can be active at a time.

A weird game! The contolls are very stange and i have no idea how i cross the fire. But it's fun.
And it would be so much easier to play and I think it would get a better rating and more people would play it if you could play the game directly in the browser. With Unity you can simply change your game in the build settings to WEP-GL and upload it to e. g. itch. io or simmer. io.

Heya, thanks for playing and taking the time to offer feedback! Yeah, in retrospect jump probably should have been bound to spacebar at least. Ah well.

Good tip about building for WebGL too; I didn't know itch could host them so easily. It's now playable on there in brower and I uploaded a Mac build too.
