The characters
Smooth, hand-finished animation. Every animation of a character shares one origin between its feet, so switching from running to jumping to attacking never makes it slide.
Snowman
Walk, a branch-arm swipe, Hurt, Death. Slow and tough, about 220 px tall.
Naughty present
Walk, a lid-snapping lunge, Hurt, Death. About 160 px tall.
Ice imp
Fly, a diving swoop, Hurt, Death. About 130 px tall.
The world
Snowy ground and ice 9-piece tiles for ground and walls of any size, wooden and candy-cane platforms, icicles and ice spikes, crates, a barrel, a Christmas tree, a lamp post, coins, a candy cane, a gingerbread star, hot cocoa, a bell, a gift sack, hearts and buttons.
The demo game
Open it in GameMaker or Godot and press Play. Run, jump and throw snowballs through the snowy woods and the ice cave; snowmen and naughty presents patrol and fight back, and ice imps swoop from above. Every level is its own room or scene, and adding one to the level select is a single line.
