Loved this game! Very cute, original and fun to play. Just the right level of difficulty to win first time around but still feel the challenge of the thaw approaching and narrowly avoiding melting into a puddle!


Would have tweaked the snowball rolling to make it "stick" to you a bit more maybe

Really cool game! I like the snowman melting

Thanks for playing. I would have liked to add smoother transitions for the melting stages but I lack the art skills.

Still it's a good effect. Also I was curious how you did the thaw effect? It looks very cool.

It was quite slapped together. I could have researched an actual dissolve but I just guessed haha.

Since my game mostly takes place on the X axis I have a global shader value for that position and another global shader for an edge thickness. I check the world position of the current pixel and if within the edge value I blend between grass and snow while applying a noise texture and TIME for some randomness.

Oh I see. Thank you!
