Sliced Ice
Sliced Ice
You are skating on thin ice - literally. If the groove you carve in the ice crosses itself, it will cut a chunk of ice free. Be careful not to fall in! That said, if you meet any unsavoury characters, you could use this to your advantage...
Controls: WASD or Arrow keys
When all the enemies on a given level are defeated, the right-hand gate will open and you can go through it to the next level. The levels beyond level 3 are randomly generated and go on forever.
Known Issues
- Splashes aren't rendered properly- ~~The game crashes when defeating multiple enemies~~ FIXED
Tools
- Made with the macroquad game engine for Rust, using also the polygon2 library for polygon triangulations and collision testing- Images made with Gimp
- Unfortunately I didn't have time to add any sound
Tools: GIMP

Neat idea! Good difficulty progression. The fish moving under the ice is a cool visual effect.

Nice game, took me a few goes to realise the gate was open on level 0 but other than that no issues.

Fun game! Checkpoints would be nice. I finally beat level 5 but somehow got it to crash. Looking through the error logs I saw that you're using rust + wasm under the hood. Neat!

Ah thanks for letting me know, I probably missed that due to not reaching that point since I am bad at my own game :P. I think I've found the problem (I was removing elements from a list while iterating through it leading to an index out of bounds), but I'm going to wait until I figure out how to fix the bug in my water shader before I upload a fix.

A fun game, although the it crashed (window went completely black) when I circled both enemies simultaneously on level 5.

The game has a nice idea behind it and was fun to play. Went to up to level 7.
Being a traffic cone with ice skates on my …feet, fighting robots with my free skating dance choreography is definitely a setting that I haven't seen yet!
A few points to improve
- I was skating for several minutes in the first level until I realized that the gate is already open. I expected the actual gate to lift.
- The skating felt a little slow or dragging. It might be more realistic as you have it, but a faster pace could have been more fun maybe
- a simple music would have gone a long way. Especially a slow waltz or so. (I somehow have the dancy figureskater image in my head…)

Nice mechanics, but something is missing. Maybe you need better graphics, and maybe additional mechanics.
I'd love to see this updated with checkpoints after each completed level! :)
