SNoWay

About the Game

SNoWay is a fast-paced winter defense game created for Ludum Dare 58, where the theme was “Collector.”

You play as a living snowball, rolling around and collecting snow to grow bigger and stronger.
Your mission: protect the snowman from waves of attacking candles that are trying to melt him down.

Every bit of snow you gather increases your size — and your strength. But beware: the bigger you are, the harder it is to maneuver.
Collect snow, build momentum, and use your snowballs wisely — they can destroy enemies or heal your fragile snowman.

How long can you keep him safe before he melts away?

Gameplay Features

Learnings

Creating SNoWay during Ludum Dare was a wild ride — filled with challenges, debugging chaos, and creativity.
Despite technical issues (including build issues just before the deadline), the project taught me a lot. 

The game is not complete and is still in development
