About

Kobold Slide is a game about a cute kobold going on a sliding winter adventure.  It is Moonbow Entertainment's entry into the #KIFASS JAM!

Everything was created during the jam except for the background music.  The engine used is DragonRuby Game Toolkit, a fantastic little beast of an engine that let us get all this together over a few weekends.  They never requested a plug, but we liked the engine a lot, so have one anyway.

How to play

• Chop trees for points. Hitting too large of a tree at low speed makes the Kobold bounce off.
• Fill up the boost bar by destroying trees to enter boost mode.  In boost mode the Kobold will go max speed and destroy everything without bouncing.
• Run over igloos to get more time.
• Kobold can also earn bonus time for destroying enough trees.
• "Disturb" the birds to knock out a bunch of trees at once.
• The game is over if the dragon catches up to the Kobold.

Controls

• Tap the menu buttons or screen when instructed to get through the comic menus.
• Use your mouse to direct the Kobold as he slides down the hill.
• On mobile devices, he will try to go to the last place you touched the screen at.
• You can use the sound, music, and day/night toggles to control the game options at any time.
