note: this is an un-finished prototype. there were basic mechanics i wanted to implement, but i spent most of the time I had figuring out how to make the blocks breakable! for now, you can break blocks using the axe and meet the "You Froze!" screen when the Freeze Meter runs out.

WINTER BREAKER is a cold-based survival game where you break blocks to survive!

You play as Jack, a former timber logger spending his retirement far away from people in his cabin on the Icy Plains. Dig, chop and sell to keep the cold away!

(Pick up the axe to start the game)

NOTES:

These planned mechanics will be sorely missed (but only until the Jam is over, of course...):

• Randomly spawned wood blocks, food, bombs, diamonds and more...
• Entering the house, where core gameplay elements would be located...
• The ability to re-fill your Freeze Meter by executing one of many possible actions in-game.
• "Time Survived" saved high score and stats screen at the end of the game.
• More tools and weapons available for purchase from the in-game shop as you progress.
• Eventual enemies.
• Unlocking more ways to traverse your dig, helping you to reach the surface faster!
• And more...

Current Bugs:

• Jack sporadically becomes confused and forgets where he is meant to be going... hold Shift and move (to run) to remind him.
