Iceskimo

Simple concept but nice game ! A bit too easy though, you can't die unless you really want to.

@adamsmccall Thanks for the feedback! It is pretty unbalanced, I didn't do enough playtesting :slight_frown:

Nice Prototype. The art style is great. More random items would make this game more fun.

Pretty simple game well done, on the easy side in term of difficult. The graphics are also consistent and fitting, I laughed at the idea of fire hidden inside the ice. The sound was a bit hard to listen to, thought, it would be my biggest complain. Good job and keep coding!

pretty nice and simple game, i had fun playing it, i reached a depth of 60 the art style is nice and simple, well done!

The randomness of destroying a dark-blue block makes the game kind of unfair in my opinion. Sometimes it makes you warm, other times it freezes you. Apart from that, I liked the gameplay and the sound was not very bad too. The graphics are also nice.

@gnevesdev randomness keeps the game interesting

This is cute! On my best run I made it down to 46. I liked the randomness of the dark blue blocks; unexpectedly getting a cold one made for an interesting challenge. It might have been good to have some more structure to the areas that you couldn’t dig through (I assume I wasn’t supposed to dig the ! blocks? never actually tried it), but it works without that. Well done.

I agree that the randomness kind of breaks the game a little. You are really taking a chance on living or dying. You might need a way to telegraph what's in the boxes.

Nice game, really cool art style

@mahalis you are supposed to dig the ! blocks. they break blocks around them

That was a really nice little game ! With some tweaks and a bit more content, I can totally see myself playing it on my smartphone in the metro !

After a few attempts, a reached a depth of 107, then I got 3 ice blocks in a row and died instantly :/. That's the dark side of using randomness, it can create frustrating/unfair patterns. Of course, in such a short amount of time, it is the most simple solution to generate a level, but I think the next step would be to have distinct "fire-only" blocks that gives you a little bit of warmth, so using a "random" one would be a choice (and not a constraint ^^).

Anyway, I had a good time digging with my little iceskimo (I love the name btw), good job !

Fantastic little game!! I had ton of fun with it, the randomness is a great part aside what other users said, it brings tense and discovery, having 4 explosive blocks in a connected chunks is a blast.

Great game!

@ds-nahogara wow! you got very far :flushed:

Nice and simple game. Reminded me a bit of Mr Driller! Graphics and sound are minimalistic but pretty. I can see potential if you choose to keep developing it. Congrats for a great entry!

Nice game! I love these arcade games, and you made a fun game. I missed a progressive difficulty, it's a bit easy.

Anyway, great graphics and sound. Gameplay is easy to understand. Good job :smile:

Simple game but very addictive, I was confused at the beginning because I though I had to avoid the fire, but a part from that, nice game! good job!

I like your game a lot. I'm a bit tired today and these kind of games are just what I need :smile: A simple case of: simple to learn, hard to master :innocent:

The graphics are cute and the sound effects are fitting really well with this one

My highscore is 142

Simple and minimalist, I really like the art style! The sound when you dig a block scared me at first ahah

Simple but nice game! The sound was really loud though and jumpscared me haha! The graphics are very cute!

Nice game! It seems that the difficulty is constant, I think it would be more cool if it became harder as time goes by.

Good job. :v:
