  • Great concept! 3D also added a nice immersive vibe to the game. The controls were a bit too snappy for my liking, as the character slides on the ice but when I click left and right the character just jerks to that direction. Otherwise, great submission!

Cool concept! For next time, adding ZQSD support is usually not a big hassle, but enhances UX :p
Great job

Developer

never thought to add.

Will add it when I get home tonight and take that into my next jam !

Thanks

Sick game, I love it!

Didn't expect to see an "ice-Doom" among the submissions :D

Developer(+1)

Thanks!

 My scope was way too big this time. I wanted to be much more doom-esque but just lacked the time and energy!

Submitted

Idk what your original vision was, but this skating-Doom is definetely a good outcome :D

Although I can see there was not much time for development since it's short.

I understand the energy part btw. There were times I really burned myself out with gamejams - and had constant scope-creep no matter how much I wanted to avoid it. It's just...tempting to expand it more and more so much it's cannot be described.

Really love the idea of your game.

Brings back some memories of good ol' doom :)
I also really like your UI and the winking of "doomguy"

Gave me the chills! :P

If you delve into the files i'm pretty sure I named the character 'ice doom guy'. Glad you caught the inspiration.

I will build upon the UI. Was meant to have a fire ranged attack, and frost melee attack that would have feedback through the UI.

As well as more emotions based on being hit / powered up etc. 6 frames of animation was the quick option!

Yooo!! That's soo sickk!!

Istg, one of the best games in the submissions! The gameplay is so fun and sliding is satisfying and rewarding!! I absolutely love it!

Developer(+1)

Appreciated!!

Would have loved to have more time (or personal energy!) This will become my go-to game to fiddle around with and keep developing. Sure was fun to dev.

This game sure has a lot of potential! I would love to see the final game if you decide to keep on developing..

I love the skating mechanic. It feels nice. 

Very "cool" game ;) 

Really enjoyed playing it

Developer

That's snow joke!

This is a cool idea, can clearly see the warmth is survival idea and like the doom inspiration.

Developer

This was very much the inspiration. If I had more time I would develop this to be more doom-esque. Featurecreep happened!
