Snowman was so much better, but what is a proud new parent of a 3 month old to do?! Then it hit me! Smash them together!\r\n\r\nYou are Sammy the Snowman and you have decided to travel to the tropics. Why? Well, cause I don't particularly like winter.\r\n\r\nWhilst Sammy the Snowman is in the tropics, he must find the magical Christmas tree to prevent him from melting. Wait what? How does a tree prevent a snow man from melting? Well it is magical... duh!\r\n\r\nAlong the way mysterious presents are strewn about... and since Sammy is a bit of a kleptomaniac, he desires to pick them all up during his travels!\r\n\r\nGood luck!\r\n\r\nWSAD = Moves Snowman\r\nLeft Mouse Click and Drag = Orbits Camera\r\n\r\nTools used: Unity, Blender, Paint.NET, cgMusic, Bfxr.\r\n\r\n***UPDATE***\r\nDue to popular demand (and I aim to please) the snowman now moves TWICE as fast! Not only that, a RUN button has been added (LShift or RShift) so you can cruise even faster throughout the levels!\r\n\r\nFantastic feedback everyone! Lets keep reviewing everyone's entries!\r\n","title":"Snowman's Tropical Adventures"}
