Naked in the snow by Marc Grabow

made by Marc Grabow for Ludum Dare 45 (COMPO)

You find yourself and some others naked in the snow. You start with literally no clothes and have to get dressed to avoid freezing to death. There are limited clothes available and it is getting colder by the minute. Grab and steal clothes until you are the last one alive.

Each time the temperature drops, everyone not wearing the clothing displayed will freeze to death. Try not to be one of them.

CONTROLS: Arrow keys to move.

EDIT: Added the game logo AFTER submission (did not change any code) as I typically do that in the morning on the way to work. Didn't realize this time it is going to be to late (Western Australia).

Interesting concept (though the thought of me being naked in such cold weathers questions why I would ever find myself in that predicament in the first place ;D). Felt a bit laggy when I started it. Well done!

Thanks FoxFX!
To anyone playing this: If you have ideas WHY you would end up naked with a bunch of other people, please feel free to add your idea in the comments :)
Also to the ladies: I am very sorry that there are only dudes running around, I ran out of time to add another sprite set, wanted to have both :/

I really love the 2D on 3D aesthetic! The scenario and gameplay fit so well together. This would be a hilarious couch party game!

Hahaha! Man this is awesome. I was rolling at my computer, running around fighting the other naked people for warmth. The icy ground was a nice touch to make navigating and finding the clothing a little more difficult. Well done! I thought you nailed the theme. I took it as more of a hunger games situation where these people are battling for the entertainment of others or something.

I'm sure you've got plenty of ideas for expanding on this. One thing, it seemed like once I had the same clothes as someone else, I couldn't knock anything loose from them, but I wanted to attack and MAKE them freeze! Haha!

So players were supposed to die in the end? Cuz there was not pickup item to survive, while there is only 1 enemy left. Might be some deep philosophical meaning to this?

Anyway, great concept of "start with nothing."

It felt really good to play and was very fun! Nice execution of the theme, I was pleasantly surprised. It would be nice if it had some kind of actual end though, once it was just em and one other enemy, it didn't seem like another clothing item got dropped, so we both just died. Good job overall!

Thanks everyone for your feedback.

Seems like there is a bug in there that my sleep deprived brain didn't spot before uploading the final build. The plan essentially was that the amount of clothing to pickup gets less and less until the last round there is only one pair of gloves and whoever holds it when the temperature drops again wins. Something with that part is not quite right, sorry.

Actually, no, wait, I mean @nero-cao is right, this has a very deep philosophical meaning and is not a bug at all *cough cough*... :D

Entertaining little game, with a couple annoyances. I wish the clothing items were a little bigger/easier to see. Also, I hit a point where I the clothing "goal" box was empty, so I died. Felt a little cheated by that. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Thank you for this game! It looks funny and I had this feeling like hero is moving on ice and has problems with coordination.

Funny game, I think shoes should be the first thing to pickup so that we could run around in the snow :D
The camera sometimes is too slow to follow the player otherwise pretty cool ;)

Nice work! Reminds me of this time a couple winters ago.

Super silly, I like it, and a solid execution. It didn't get more competitive as the rounds went on, for some reason... meaning for the later rounds especially, no one was really fighting me, the NPCs all put on their hats and stood still. Would be extra fun if these were all real players :) kinda like Joust (or Killer Queen) at that point.

Seriously though, probably the best Compo game I've played of this Ludum Dare so far. Nice job!

Yeah! I survived and i am a hero! "Somehow".. It is a cool game, some enemies got stuck in the ice blocks so i could survive easier than it should be, gotta look at that, but overall is a great experience. Good work on this :v:

Nice work! Love the concept. The AI is simple but really funny. When they get the clothes they don't move at all. And I really enjoy pushing the ice block!

Funny concept and well executed. It's a great use of the theme and I thought it was fairly challenging and addictive. Great work :)

The game is really fun and innovative. It is funny that the characters begin naked and the idea of punching each other to survive is very creative. The only thing missing here is hearing myself fighting.
