I thought this was a brilliant spin on the theme, with a fun little idea and good amount of gameplay depth!
Thank you for the kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed playing it :D
I liked this concept a lot and had fun fishing my silly people back out of the ice holes!
At first I didn't know that I could shoot ice pucks to refill holes, so I went around rescuing people in the holes. By the time I saved everyone, there was still 40 seconds with nothing left to do.
On my second attempt, I tried fixing the ice like I was supposed to, but eventually, I couldn't keep up, and people fell into holes anyway. It seems like the most effective strategy for saving as many people as possible is to just not bother with fixing the holes and to just rescue people when they get stuck. Perhaps a scoring system that rewards fixing holes could balance this?
Also, that game over screen is too relatable...
Chapeau, this is quite a unique game concept (snake with grappling hook on ice skates?) with pretty cute top-down graphics and all, but it was that honest message at the end of the game that really made me cry.
Good use of the theme and I nice idea. A score tracker would have been nice like you said but ran out of time. Still nice job was fun!
I liked the idea, i find it interesting, i think it would improve a lot with some sounds and maybe if you could fall in the water too
Great Job :D
I liked the theme. Could have used some audio queues and maube that point system :)
Cool idea!
I think it fit the theme really well!
Would have loved to see some sort of additional movement options, and also more incentive to use the ice to fill in holes (I ended up rescuing everyone before the time was up)
I also found a small bug where and shot ice would despawn if another ice projectile collided with a hole? Seems like the destructor method is just freeing all instances :/
Thanks for playing!!
I appreciate the feedback and bug reports! Definitely had some other ideas I wanted to implement but ran out of time.
