Made for the Big Mode Game Jam 2026

Biggy Modo licked a poll and  got his tongue stuck on the slick ice mountain again! Now he has to go all the way back down to get some hot chocolate to get his tongue unstuck. Then he has to go all the way back up as quick as he can!

Controls

SPACE - extend tongue

W A S D - directional control

R - Reset level

Dev Notes

This project was cursed. 

I was a solo dev in software  who ended up having much less time to work on this than intended. I had at least one large distraction each day (it happens), everyone got sick, and I made a catastrophic Unity mistake on day 5 that set me back about 2 days of work. While disheartened from how development went, I'm still glad I was able to participate and submit something. I'll be back next time.

Here are a list of some ideas that I would've loved to implement with more time:

• Power-ups to increase speed or add to the fun physics
• More puzzles involving the retracting mechanic (ie.  a direction that works on the descent, but doesn't work on the ascent)
• Ice pillars that freeze your tongue to it when you touch it.
• A level where you repel down a mountain and have to swing  from each obstacle to navigation.

Other than that, it needs polish in the art, UI, and music. All skills I sorely lack. I would've loved to have an opening comic book style scene establishing Biggy Modo getting his tongue stuck and has to descend for the Hot Chocolate.
