Iceman Ascending

co-authored: @stranget
The early 20th century. The USA. Household refrigerators haven't been invented yet, but skyscrapers are already reaching for the sky.

You're an iceman tasked with delivering a huge block of ice to the very top of a skyscraper under construction. Better hurry before it melts!

Along the way, you're bound to be offered some radium-infused goodies. Radiation has already been discovered, but luckily, nobody knows how dangerous it is yet. So go ahead and grab whatever they're offering! It's not like it'll make you mutate... right?

On your way up, collect shares in the construction company scattered throughout the building. Secure yourself a comfortable retirement! After all, stocks only ever go up!

an iceman hauling melting ice to the 35th floor with radium snacks on the way, very funny, and the art is gorgeous. i couldnt get him to move with WASD, arrows or space in the web build, probably missed the controls, a controls line on the first screen would help

Super polished for a game jam. I was impressed by the graphics and audio. A wall sliding animation could help. It's ambiguous when you're close enough to wall kick vs double jump. A fun mix of metroidvania + getting over it
