FallOff 5 - Gameplay

A 3D Puzzle platform game written in C++, using OpenGL for rendering. FallOff 5 is the first game  built using my own homebrew game engine and features collision detection, pathfinding and basic AI. The engine was built along with the game, so the features were still rather limited.

In FallOff 5 you play as a snowman who got stuck in an active volcano. Your only chance for survival is to make it to the top to escape. However, the path to the top is difficult, and riddled with obstacles. Luckily, tools are scattered throughout the levels which enable you to bypass these obstacles, if you know how to use them. Watch out though, because lava monsters are lurking about, ready to push you into the boiling lava. Use the level against them to proceed through the level.
And most importantly: don't fall off...
