WAAPT: The Forum

So I technically might be retired from the RP, but I'm not gonna let that stop me from continuing my annual tradition. It's Obligatory Ice Level Month: one ice world from a different game every day for the month of December.

Note that I also post these on my Tumblr and now that I'm doing them as videos, my Youtube.

Day 1: Hebra Mountains (Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity)

This year we’re starting off by heading to war. Link and his allies battle today on a snowfield under a blood-red sky.

Day 2: The Glacier (Axiom Verge 2)

Today's ice level comes from a Metroid-esque game with a strange and confusing plot. It's also a rare case of the ice world being the opening act.

Day 3: Artaria (Metroid Dread)

On Samus Aran's latest mission, she'll have to deal a mysterious force lowering the temperature of planet ZDR. She'll need to rely on her Gravity Suit to stay insulated as she finds the source of the issue.

Day 4: Shiver Star (Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards)

Today's ice world is from a classic. Kirby and friends team up to find their way through the snowfields of Shiver Star, and the forbidding factory beyond.

Day 5: Aurora Peak (Tetris Effect)

It turns out that even Tetris can have ice levels. Enjoy some snowy aesthetic while watching blocks fall and make lines.

Day 6: Solstice Yard (Grapple Force Rena)

Today's ice level comes from a story about a girl who just wants to be a hero. Armed with her trusty grapple bracelets, Rena will investigate the snowy Solstice Yard and find its hidden secrets.

Day 7: Ichor Mountain (Wandersong)

A lone bard journeys up the slopes of a forbidding mountain. Armed with only his voice and determination, can he save the world from its foretold destruction?

Day 8: Winter Sun (Unravel)

Today we join a little yarn creature as he visits some memories of fun days in the snow, and knits his way across the ice.

Day 9: Ice Cap Zone (Sonic 3 & Knuckles)

Today's ice world is another from an all-time classic. It's one of the first times Sonic the Hedgehog has visited one, and he's snowboarding and climbing his way through the ice caps.

Day 10: Chill Man's Stage (Mega Man 10)

Mega Man has faced many ice-themed foes across his long career, and this is just one of them. In order to prevail against Chill Man, Mega Man will need a little heat and a lot of persistence.

Day 11: SnowHorn Wastes (Star Fox Adventures)

Today's ice level comes from a game that's quite unusual for the Star Fox franchise. Fox McCloud will need to learn a whole new skillset if he wants to make it through the icy wastes and save the SnowHorn mammoths.

Day 12: Giant's Lair (Bug Fables: The Everlasting Sapling)

Our three bug heroes Vi, Kabbu, and Leif find themselves in an ancient ruin constructed by giants long past. This mysterious cold machine's original purpose is unknown, but now it serves as a trial for the bugs to conquer.

Day 13: Dessert Peak (Chicory: A Colorful Tale)

This is a small little game about coloring. In order to become a true wielder of the brush that brings the world color, our hero will have to undertake many trials. One of these is climbing to the peak of a mountain of self-discovery.

Day 14: Freudia's Stage (Rosenkreuzstilette)

In this Mega Man inspired game, our hero Spiritia Rosenberg will have to give it her all if she wants to prevail against the ice mage Freudia Neuwahl, and halt the Rosenkreuzstilette organization's nefarious plans.

Day 15: Rime Age (realMyst: Masterpiece Edition)

Today's ice level is from a timeless classic, the surreal adventure that will become your world. Let's visit the age of Rime and uncover its hidden secrets.

Day 16: Snowball Park (Super Mario 3D World)

It's time to show off another Mario ice level as I take Rosalina skating through the snowy park, and a few other places.

Day 17: Zone 3 (Crypt of the Necrodancer)

Today we perform a dance of fire and ice as we delve into a particularly chilly (and hot) section of the Necrodancer's crypt.

Day 18: That Cold Place (Ittle Dew)

An adventurer crashes upon an island, and has to solve puzzles and destroy enemies in order to return home. Sound familiar? Well, it's not Zelda, but it'll do. Today we join Ittle in a cold place.

Day 19: Eternal Woods (Diablo III)

Yes, I'm still finding ways to squeeze more ice levels out of this game. Today we run though the snowy woods and blast undead fiends with giant arcane lasers.
