Blaze in the Blizzard
==Description==
You are a Snowman traveling through forests filled with enemies who want to melt you. Well now is the time to turn the tables on them and extinguish them by throwing snowballs at them. Fight through the endless waves and reach the bosses in the forest. Defeat them and you will be victorious.
==Developer Notes==
This game as made as part of the Solo Development Jam #6 : Winter Jam found here:
https://itch.io/jam/solodevelopment-jam-6-winter-jam
In the spirit of the game jam, I will not be doing any further additions or changes to the game. This game is meant to represent what I can do in 72 hours with the simple theme of "Hot and Cold." I hope you enjoy the experience playing it.
==Known Bugs==
I spent a lot of time working to make this game as polished as possible but of course, there will be some things that will elude me. Below is a list of known bugs that I was no able to finish in the time limit.
1. ) For some reason, whenever descending a level you have a small chance of freezing the game indefinitely. I looked through my code for hours and could not figure out what is causing this. It is definitely the biggest blight of the game. I believe though that if you stay in Quadrant One of the levels, it doesn't occur, at least from my testing.
2. ) Running into an enemy has the slim possibility of instantly killing you. This is a bug I ran into when I was doing my final play tests of the game. It went on the list of things to fix but that was a very long list and this doesn't happen that much so I just never got around to fixing it before the deadline was up.
3. ) By repeatedly entering and exiting a boss level, you can cause the Monster AI to spawn a lot of Fireballs as the cool down is being reset when entering and exiting. This is just another bug I knew existed and one that could be easily fixed, I just didn't have time.
4. ) Going past positive or negative 50 on either the X or Y causes a new level not to load. So I had originally intended for this game to be an infinite dungeon crawler. Meaning you could just keep going on forever and ever. But my lack of knowledge limited me on doing that, so I made the compromise of having the game be a grid of 100x100 rooms, making there be 200 rooms in total. It was always my intention to prevent the player from pushing past the shackles of this preset boundary but I never got around to it.
==Cheat Codes==
I am a big fan of putting cheat codes into my games, mainly cause I'm super lazy and don't care for the grind. So if that's your kind of thing also then keep reading.
Pressing 'Q' will give you 1,000 points.
