The map kept changing while I wasn't looking, after I found all the dead ends. Maybe I was supposed to be lost in a drift? It seemed more like a bug, although I'm sure it was intentioned.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Eventually one of the hills I ran up made me fall off the edge of the world into the abyss. Was it a bug this time? Who can tell?\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Gorgeous though.

The game is quite simple but it manages to touch upon the core gameplay mechanic I was keen to employ. Also I was anxious to make an animated 3D character for this Ludum Dare, so in that respects I'm delighted with the result. \r\n\r\nThis game is completable, and takes about 5 minutes to get through. \r\n\r\nedit: mac build link fixed<\/p>","title":"i love snow man"}
