How does your game fit the theme?
Snowball Man's life is fine until one day his family is struck down by lightning in the storm
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
I wrote all the code and drew the animations.
I used a premade sprite pack for static sprite/background

I like the jumping mechanic, but it was hard to progress in the level with the health mechanism. The precision jumping felt a bit hard when I couldn't see the platforms once I jumped.
i think this game generally controls quite poorly. the slippery movement and jump mechanic seems at-odds with the focus on precision movement challenges. attacking costing HP feels at odds with enemies that spawn infinitely and spam projectile attacks . i also didnt know how to control where the attack went? it didnt go straight all the time. basic enemies taking two hits is too many. i also dont understand how it fit the theme at all.
graphics were pretty
for your next jam game, i recommend you take a totally different design approach. there's clearly some coding talent on display, but it didnt resolve into an enjoyable game because of your design decisions.
The game is all over the place, I don't really know where to go. I think you've tried to implement too much mechanics and didn't really focus on the core gameplay. The parallax effect was pretty nice though.
