Icescape by picklenerd
Icescape is a game about a penguin trying to survive in a world full of polar bears. Luckily, this penguin has freeze gun!
The goal is to freeze as many polar bears as you can before you get eaten. Every time you fire your gun, you leave a blob of ice on the ground. The ice will slow down the polar bears, but it will also slow you down and prevent you from shooting. You'll have to be careful about where you use your weapon or you'll quickly run out of space.
This is a pretty simple game. I usually use Unity for these, but I wanted to use Rust and Webassembly this year because I thought it would be a fun challenge. It was both fun and challenging! In the end, I spent most of my time writing the basic infrastructure and not so much time writing the game itself. It's pretty cool as a piece of technology but a little underwhelming as a game.
