The first of hopefully several Post-Compo versions is up! It comes with a lot of changes and bugfixes.

After falling into a hole, you stumble on a frozen underground lake, and at its center, a palace of ice and stone. Can you brave the palace, and the creature lurking

beneath its depths, to find your way home again?

Search the dungeon for the tools that will help you escape.

If the creature gets too close to you, it will break through ice and snow to kill you, but on stone you have a little safety.

----CONTROLS----

A, S - switch tools, if you have any

SPACE - use tools if you have any

Arrow Keys - move

SPACE will confirm at the title screen and continue at the Game Over screen.

Sounds like this wound up pretty difficult! Here are some tips:

TIPS:

1. If you stand on stone for a while, The Creature loses track of you and goes away for a bit. He`ll start hunting you shortly after you walk on ice or snow again. Use patches of stone to your advantage!

2. The Creature isn`t very maneuverable. Sliding in different directions while on ice helps keep him away from you.
