Approach lamps to go to the next level!
When you've collected all the gifts and destroyed all the enemies you can, head to the lamp post [J]! You will be transported to the next level and earn points for this accomplishment. Make sure you can get to the North Pole before the sun beams melt all the ice!
Version 2.0.0
Our second release has come with many bug fixes and some awesome new features! This time around, we have reverted our Kaboom JS version to a more stable release that allowed better use of collision functions and much more. After rewriting our game to use the 0.5.0 version of Kaboom JS, we were able to implement the following.
Added Functionality:
- Improved and continuous enemy movement
- Improved level design
- Ability to freeze boxes to save the ice
- Ability to destroy sun beams with snowballs
- Player lives to repeat current level until all are lost
Bug Fixes from v1.0.0:
- Object collision errors
- Music looping into other scenes
- Unlimited firing rates and jumping heights
Hackathons
Our initial inspiration came from participating in the Hackcoming Hackathon with MLH in early December, 2021, where we released version 1.0.0. We created version 2.0.0 for the Hacky Winterland Hackathon with MLH during Christmas weekend, 2021. You can see our hackathon submissions for the game here: v1.0.0, v2.0.0
