Post-jam update
Now that the jam has ended:
New:
Flavor texts!!! Dialogue between Winter and Autumn at the start of the fight and when you reach the solstice. Also monologue on death
Hard mode. (Must have reached a highscore of 3000 to unlock) VFX and SFX on projectile destruction Discord implementation (shows you playing the game, your highscore and if you're playing with hard mode on) (The overlay might be pretty annoying, you may want to disable that in your discord settings) It actually broke the game so I removed it for now, I'll look into adding it back later cuz it is fun
Controls have 2 default settings options
Kofi embed in the credits page. (Will be shared between me (programmer) and the artist if you ever donate, but obviously only do so if you can comfortably afford to! I don't expect many will donate but eh, might as well leave the option open)
Adjustments:
Slower scythe attack
Snowflake crash attack now scales with the difficulty
Ice Pins now have patterns. Might go back on that and also have a chance of random patterns.
Small UI tweaks
Changed the map disintegration animation for one that originates from the boss. Might go back on that one.
Removed a bunch of unnecessary duplicate assets
Probably a few other things I forgot, but that's most of it
Bugfixes :
Boss should no longer freeze if you destroy an ice pin before it activates
Moving while attacking should still attack faster, but the attack cooldown was reduced so it's probably not worth it :P
"Hold to skip" message appears on every cutscene
Lowered the volume on some sfx
Files
Get Apricity
Apricity
Survive the merciless passage of time, as Winter tries to take over.

The game is stuck after the intro, I could not try it. =( Look great tho! I’ll try again later =)
Oh crap
I just made another quick update for an unrelated bug, but it works on my side, can you tell me if that fixed it for you?
I have to open and close the menu to be able to controls the player. the screen stays darker and the ui is not shown, but is playable.
Oh I think you're not getting the dialogue that happens at the beginning of the game, but I really don't understand why that would happen for you. I'll look into it, sorry for the inconvenience!
Okay nevermind, for some reason it works fine, then the version I upload to itch has this issue....
I'll try to correct it swiftly
Urgh it was such a stupid thing and I'm not even sure why it does that, but I just removed the part that did this for now
It wasn't even for something that important lol it was the discord integration part. Wouldn't have added it if I knew it would do that.
It works flawlessly now! Glad I could be of help to help you sort this out fast, the game is quite good! =)
Thanks for the warning! Glad you like it
