----------Controlling the Player Sprite:---------- Move with WASD. Use your frost attack by Clicking when the charge bar is black. (Red is firing-in-progress, gray is recharging.) Try to time it: The farther right it is, the more projectiles you shoot! If your timing is perfect or near-perfect, then your attack will be "Supercooled" (it gets a few buffs). Note that in both cases, the projectiles can bounce off of the edge. Optionally collect Candy Canes that appear around every minute or so (you start with 1). Press Space to use them. Doing this will swing a large Candy Cane around you a few times, dealing damage, giving you a movement speed boost, and giving you immunity for the duration. ----------Objective:---------- Defend the Presents from the enemy Grinches and Peppers! Note that you don't have to be perfect with your defense: It takes 5 enemies to fully sabotage the operation. Also, try not to touch the enemies: They'll reset you. That being said, if you don't move, then you're immune to the enemies, and touching the enemies will reset your position. ----------Enemies:---------- Grinches have 30 HP, are fairly slow, and are all-around weak. However, as time goes on, more and more Grinches will come, building up the pressure. Peppers have 40 HP, are very slow, and spawn slowly as well, but have this annoying shield that blocks your snowflakes. To make matters worse, as time goes on, Peppers get increasingly high starting hitpoints.
When this first loads, double-click the flag to reset the timer properly. Don't ask about what happened to Scratch Cat. (It was supposed to be an ice cream cone...) ----------Credits:---------- Peppermint Valley (background music): https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/504306201/ Candy Cane: https://publicdomainvectors.org/en/free-clipart/Candy-cane/39371.html Supercooled Attack Sound: https://mixkit.co/free-sound-effects/spell/ (Named "Icicles spell whoosh".) ----------Challenges:---------- Win without using the Candy Cane and without losing any presents. (Confirmed to be possible.) Win without using the Supercooled Attack more than once (so that a single misclick won't ruin your run) and without losing any presents. (Confirmed to be possible.)
