Heavy Winter

This is my game submission Heavy Winter for the 8 Bits to infinity Game Jam, the goal was to make a game with the limiter being "multi-use" which I think I accomplished. You gather wood in this game to defend non stop waves of enemies, The wood you collect is used for your arrows, walls, spikes, and to rekindle the flame to increase how much you can see aswell as warm you up (heal you) when out of the campfires range you will slowly freeze. Taking damage from enemies will also cause you to chill over and die RIP. I hope you enjoy, I joined the game jam late and haven't had alot of time to work on this project, but I think it still came out pretty good. Thank you.

CONTROLS

  • WASD for movement
  • Left mouse click to shoot
  • right mouse click to swing axe to cut down trees
  • "E" to pick up/ feed the camp fire
  • "F" to fullscreen
  • ESC while in game to quit to main menu

GAME MECHANICS

Gather wood to build, click on the icons on the bottom to activate them (only works if you have enough to build them) this excludes the ammo. Ammo is automatically crafted upon shooting. Spikes kill 2 enemies. Walls slow down/stop enemies.  Stay in the campfires radius to warm up (your health bar is your warmth) the camp fire will only warm you up if there is no wave currently active. The camp fire also slowly shrinks.  You can pick up and move objects after they have already been placed.

Pretty cool game. Played it for a few minutes and its a pretty simple shooter - would press the ready button to always have enemies on screen and I like the cute lil snowy guys. 10/10 Would play deforestation simulation 2023 again.
