Snow Man Astray
Guide the snowman through the dark, snowy wilderness to find his lost family. Use your candle to light the way and make invisible platforms appear, but be careful as the heat from the flame will slowly melt the snowman over time.
Controls
WASD / ARROW KEYS: Move
SPACE : Jump
CTRL : Light / Unlight Candle
R : Restart Level
ESCAPE : Quit Game
How to Play
- Use CTRL to light the candle and make invisible platforms appear.
- The number in the top right shows how much "cold" the snowman has left. Once this reaches zero, the snowman will melt and you'll lose.
- Invisible platforms can be stood on even when they're invisible.
- Find the key to unlock the gate at the end of the stage.
- Light the large candle that's beyond the gate to complete the stage.
- Grab ice cream to restore your "cold."

Very nice game!!!
The pixel art is fantastic and the whole atmosphere is great.
At first i thought it was weird that an ice cream cone replenishes your candle, but then i thought to myself "right, snowman!" :D
The small details like the snow falling down, the ambiance, and that awesome moon makes all the difference.
Too bad you couldn't make more levels, the level design on the existing ones is great, i especially liked the last one where you have to use your skill in order to reach the end with only 1 candle, no ice creams. after a few times i was able to finish it with ~30 left.
Really awesome work, keep it up!
