The Cold Night by Steffo

[raw]
made by Steffo for Ludum Dare 50 (JAM)

It's a cold night. Evil lurks in the shadows.

Luckily you've managed to set up a fire.
The flames dim with each passing moment, plunging you deeper into the darkness. You must gather wood in order to protect your only source of warmth and light.
But trying to do so... is just delaying the inevitable.

Patrizio Pulpito, our hero

You play as Patrizio Pulpito, a lumberjack hipster and hoverboard enthusiast.

A regular snowman

Try not to die against hordes of snowmen, and keep your fire alive to avoid awakening the ancient evil!
