A bite-sized arcade precision platformer for the Advent Calendar!
In a tower, deep in the Adirondack Mountains... Old Mage Zythandar studies slimes, barrier magicks, and undead creatures. As if the ghost attacks weren't bad enough, the Flame Orbs keep attracting Mothbugs!
Late one night in late December... Zythandar looks out from his study and watches the space candies glittering in the sky above. Watching the candies sparkle and pop and listening to annoying Christmas music... inspiration strikes him!
I'll conjure a creature, of cold ice and snow.
This gentleman of ice, I'll send deep below.
To the depths of my tower, in the basement he'll be.
Forever climbing, and freezing Mothbugs for me!

Known Issues
- It is possible to become boxed in by frozen bugs and soft-lock the game. If this occurs, reset the game from the pause menu.
I am positively sure an army of scenarists worked on he back story 🤣
Well done!
