I would have loved to have had more time to balance it but too much ice can make the game run on infinitely so I had to scale it back.\n\n@oneowerse that's right! Lots of overlapping and scaled Perlin Noise for the level generation. I started with just a bunch of random trig and noise but then I stumbled across Perlin Noise and was very happy for finding it.
