I just put out a polished up post-compo build of my LD 36 game, and I thought it would be good to put together a little player’s guide to go with it. Point and click adventure games can be frustrating if you aren’t on the same wavelength as the developer, and everyone has a lot of games to play so I figured some hints might prevent you from getting stuck.<\/p>\n

You can grab Legacy of Ice here<\/a>, if you want to check it out.<\/p>\n

Click the link below for the players guide.<\/p>\n

Select text to reveal the hint. Each hint for a puzzle gives you more clues to solving it. To prevent spoilers, try to figure out one hint to a puzzle before revealing the next one.<\/p>\n
