While sitting in my nightly oatmeal bath, sipping a minty hot chocolate, I contemplated the theme. Snowman was so much better, but what is a proud new parent of a 3 month old to do?! Then it hit me! Smash them together!

You are Sammy the Snowman and you have decided to travel to the tropics. Why? Well, cause I don't particularly like winter.

Whilst Sammy the Snowman is in the tropics, he must find the magical Christmas tree to prevent him from melting. Wait what? How does a tree prevent a snow man from melting? Well it is magical... duh!

Along the way mysterious presents are strewn about... and since Sammy is a bit of a kleptomaniac, he desires to pick them all up during his travels!

Good luck!

*UPDATE*
Due to popular demand (and I aim to please) the snowman now moves TWICE as fast! Not only that, a RUN button has been added (LShift or RShift) so you can cruise even faster throughout the levels!

Fantastic feedback everyone! Lets keep reviewing everyone's entries!

Snowmen! Nice Job, I really like the background music. I kinda wish the snowman had a shadow under him so it's easier to determine where he is.

Cool. A lot of personality. Love the opening music as well. Though it's quite hard and the snowman is a bit slow.

Intresting idea. The game was fun but I think you move way to slow.

The fact that there are multiple levels shows a great deal of care and design. The snowman was a bit sluggish, I got owned several times, but ended up getting the hang of things. Also, oatmeal bath game designs are best designs.

For me the gameplay is a bit boring, but I'm not sure about others!
Anyway, graphics are really good-looking

Nice game, wish it had a little more action in it

Is nice rotate the camera to analyze the path, it would be cool if i could analyze the path then go into a "burst", moving fast through the planned path

The music is really nice too! :D

I saw snowmen in my life that would run faster than him !
I've see no bugs, it looks polished. nice entry.
The music sounds sometimes a bit weird to me.

I liked what you pulled of in terms of visualization. Of course you could tweak the gameplay, make the avatar a bit faster etc, but what's there plays well.
If you have a solid foundation tech-wise you could work on improving your art for the next LD.

Good Job!

Hi there. Excellent. Like the level design level 1, graphics and sounds. Have bookmarked for a revisit. The level select UI at front is particularly slick. Good job!
