A game that some in the old Verge/ika communities may remember, Winter can be considered one of the classic ika games. It was supposed to be a competition with a Christmas theme, but it ended up with more of a winter theme overall. Not much story to speak of, but it features a simple Zelda style battle system, leveling up, secrets to find, powerups to acquire, a very expansive mountain to explore both inside and out, and of course a ton of killer bunnies with sharp pointy teeth!
I took a back seat on coding on this one for the most part and instead worked on a good number of the maps. Andy, the original creator of ika, actually was the lead coder on this one. Corey of course provided the artwork, and Thrasher worked on maps and code. Overall it was a very successful collaboration.
I have updated this game to make it playable on modern computers and enabled gamepad controls for those who have one. To enable this, replace the contents of controls.cfg with gamepad_controls.cfg, and feel free to play around with the button assignments.
The game can be a bit obscure in places, so here's some tips:
- Tents allow you to heal and save your game.
- Healing Rain will not only heal you, it can freeze over suspicious patches of ice as well!
- The Hearth Rend skill can destroy ice blocks.
- Crushing Gale is a powerful dash attack, but can also allow you to cross certain gaps.
- Dynamite can destroy boulders in your path.
Hope you enjoy this blast from the past!
