Having a snowman holding a candle to see in the dark is such a good idea. I like how the ice blocks are hidden in the darkness and restricting the amount of candlelight is an awesome mechanic. The invisible platforms are arranged in a really good way and I like how collecting ice cream cones can extend your ability to see the platforms. I like the warm glow effect from the candle and then lighting the candle at the end of the level is a really nice touch. The only thing I can see that could be improved is the moon which is in front of the ice blocks on the maze level which could be moved back a layer

I'll keep you posted when I make my YouTube video, which all being well should be tomorrow

Fantastic pixel art! There is a game jam coming up soon that has a theme similar to this! Cash Prizes and the opportunity for grants! 2023 Aviator Arcade Game Jam - itch.io

This is a really nice entry! The pixel art is really nice (I particularly like the moon when it becomes visible!) and the atmosphere is wonderful. It's a great idea to have the platforms there but invisible without the light, meaning you can reserve coldness if you dare to push ahead without visibility. I can't really fault this one at all. One miniscule thing: if you press escape the game freezes. But, tbh, I shouldn't have done that :D

Awesome!!

I liked so much!  good challenges, nice environment, lights, shadows. but what I liked the most the animation when the snowman is melted :D. 

Great job!

Very nice game!!! The pixel art is fantastic and the whole atmosphere is great.

At first i thought it was weird that an ice cream cone replenishes your candle, but then i thought to myself "right, snowman!" :D 

The small details like the snow falling down, the ambiance, and that awesome moon makes all the difference. 

Too bad you couldn't make more levels, the level design on the existing ones is great, i especially liked the last one where you have to use your skill in order to reach the end with only 1 candle, no ice creams.  after a few times i was able to finish it with ~30

I like this game a lot. The sounds, animation, controls and appearance is perfect. Am loving how the platforms turn invisible when the candle is extinguished, even the rets of the level appears darker which is a really nice effect. The idea of melting is brilliant!

My only criticism is minor and hope is constructive. I'm not sure how far I need to travel to collect an ice cream to restore my health but saying that you have made it fair enough and I do think it is fun as it is. Maybe you could receive points when you collect an ice cream - possibly the same amount as your remaining health
