A pixel platformer with one ice level built by hand. Stomp, swing, throw, two bosses, and a renderer that snaps every pixel.

Stack

Three.js pixel-perfect orthographic renderer, Vite, a deterministic 60 Hz sim with replay checksums, sprites sliced from reference sheets, Press Start 2P.

Highlights

  • Three-layer parallax, shader water, and snow in a pixel-snapped renderer.
  • Levels are built by coordinates in code, because hand-editing ASCII rows misaligned gates twice.
  • When new art arrived, the look was redesigned but the playable path was preserved so the automated walker still proves the level.
