Summary

My submission to the 2024 Jame Gam Christmas Edition, Lead on Ice, is a game where the player chases an evil Snowman while avoiding procedurally generated obstacles and deflecting the Snowman’s candy canes. The player plays as Santa with ice skates on - and a rifle.
The game utilizes custom built spring physics for all aspects of player and gun movement in order to emulate the feeling of low friction / ice skating and satisfy the jam's theme of momentum. This movement system was the focus of development during the jam; primarily because an experience similar to Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy was originally intended.
It was built using Godot v4.3 and GDScript and served as my first experience with both.
