Icebreak: An action-puzzle WEGO game
Fight, blow up, and rebuild! Endless waves of enemies have come to attack your lonely iceberg in the middle of the sea and it's up to you to hold them off. Plan out your moves, navigate the thinning ice, and see how long you can protect your iceberg!
Controls
Move: Arrow keys or WASD
Push: Z or I
Put down bomb: X or O
Rebuild broken ice: C or P
Restart: R
Quit: Escape
Gameplay
Enemies will push you if you run into their area of attack, but you can push them as well if need be. Push kills give you +1 to both bombs and rebuilds.
Place bombs to destroy multiple enemies at once. Combo multiple enemies with 1 bomb to multiply the points earned!
See how high of a score you can get, or how many moves you can make!
Enemies
*Grunt*
The most common enemy. Moves left, right, up, or down. Harder to push than you'd think! Take down a group with a single bomb to effectively handle them.
*Bishop*
Much like the chess piece it is named after, the bishop only moves diagonally. Use the bishop's limited movement to earn some push kills and bolster your bomb/rebuild stash!
*Tank*
The tank acts as a heavier, stronger grunt. Not only will his pushes send you further, but you'll want to get rid of him quick, as he actually breaks the ice as well!
Development
Written entirely in C++ and SDL2, with help from the cute_sound library. Sounds created in Bfxr and sprites drawn in Aseprite.
*Post-release update 1 (4/4/22)*
- Fixed bug where rebuilt tiles couldn't be walked on
- Fixed crash related to pushing entities
*Post-release update 2 (4/9/22)*
- Fixed bug where bomb wouldn't hurt player
