How to play?
- Use the arrow keys to walk through the ice
- Be Careful with the bombs, if you step into a ice that has it will be game over
- To pass the level find a way to get the hidden gift
This game is a mix of a minefield and memory game :)
Attention!
This game have bugs that we need to fix:
- fix the ice breaking effect/animation before the game over and after the player step into a ice that has a bomb.
- fix the gift appearing and collision condition to the player win the game
- fix the game over screen size
- fix the player sprites at game over screen
- The score screen is uncompleted, so we just add an static image when we run out of time in the final of the jam.
Obs: the first level that we did, was suppose to be an simple tutorial, than more levels would appear in the next screens, but we couldn't do it in time.
Thanks for you attention and have a good play time :)

-the ice was supposed to crack when you step on the ice tile that have the bombs
-some animations was missing but they are at the project (bombs, ice cracking)
-the first phase were to be a mini tutorial but because the time, we needed to create just one simple level.
-Player animation has some bugs but it is working the isometric movement.
-A high score screen was supposed to appear when you step into a tile that has the gift.
I collected the gifts (I think) and I avoided the bombs but I'm not sure what do do next. I can't go back to the house or anything.
A friendly advice: I clearly see you guys both wanted to contribute. So you started painting and drawing and animating. And the art is nice, indeed! But for the next time, be sure to have the core gameplay mechanics working first, before creating any art. With placeholder ugly cubes/squares or whatever. Only then start spending time on the assets.
Still congratulations on putting this together and publishing it here, cheers!
But in the last day of the jam I had problems with the code, bugs and bugs I did my best to fix some of it, but I couldn't fix all on time, my developer partner couldn't help me so much because she had problems with her notebook, and on top of it I was running out of time because I was doing the things during my moving out, so the things here was so unstable kk
I had as well to help my sound partner because her notebook broke, and she had to use her cellphone instead.
But despite all this, we had a good experience in this jam, we will try to see all the good and bad points to be better in the next one :3
If it was possible to finish it, there must be feedback when gifts are picked, but I think it's a good idea to make "Memoty" game like.
While I understood the mechanics (I love puzzle games after all) I couldn't collect the presents to progress.
If you manage to fix the bugs tag me here so I can check the game again.
