FROST↑
*Known Bug: Dying does not restart the game automatically, type 'reboot' to restart.
FROST↑
A relentless vertical climb through a winter storm. The camera never stops scrolling—keep climbing or get left behind.
About
FROST↑ is a vertical platformer where you play as a snowman fighting against an ever-rising blizzard. Made for Micro Jam 052 with the theme Winter and prerequisite Overworked.
This is my first game made in Mini Micro, heavily inspired by Micro Mages.
How to Play
The screen scrolls upward automatically—fall behind and you're done. Climb platforms, dodge enemies and traps, and reach the flagpole before you die!
Controls
Keyboard:
- WASD - Move and Aim
- Space / Z - Jump
- Enter / X - Shoot Snowball
Gamepad:
- D-Pad / Left Stick - Move and aim
- Button 0 - Jump
- Button 1 - Shoot snowball
*Firing downward while airborne gives you upward recoil—use it for extra height or to correct a bad jump

Great job! The motion feels really good. The difficulty is about right too.
One suggestion: right now when you die, it just drops to the Mini Micro prompt, and the user has to know to enter `reboot` (or refresh the page) to try again. It'd be nice if you handled that for us — even something simple like `wait 3; reboot` might do.
Overall though this is a really nice game. I can't believe it's your first Mini Micro project!
Thank you for playing, glad you liked it! Actually, there is restart handling, but I don't know why once I exported it, it would sometimes lead to the cmd thing (it only happened to me once). It was late, and I just submitted whatever I had, couldn't look into it. Once again, thank you for playing and for making such an amazing and fun-to-work-with tool!
:D
Actually, nevermind, found the bug. Initially, my main script was called 'main.ms' but once I packaged it I renamed it to 'startup.ms' but my restart function still called `run "main"`.
Makes sense! A common pattern is to leave your main script as 'main.ms', but then to make it boot right into your game, add a new startup script that simply does `run "main"`.
But in any case, glad you got it figured out!
