Sundial Snowman
A melting snowman hides in the turning shadows of a sundial courtyard. Dash into the sun for snowflakes and survive as many days as you can.
You are a snowman stuck in a sunny stone courtyard built around a giant sundial. The sun circles the sky, and every pillar, tree and the sundial's tall gnomon casts a shadow that turns with it. In the shade you stay cold. In the light you melt, leaving a trail of puddles behind you.
Snowflakes only appear in the sunlight. Dash out, grab them to rebuild your snow, and get back into the shade before you turn into a puddle. Chain pickups quickly for a combo.
How the days work - Mornings and evenings throw long shadows, so there is plenty of cover. - At noon the sun is high and the shadows shrink to stubs. Trees keep a pool of shade under their crowns. Pillars barely shelter you. - A smaller snowman moves faster and fits into thinner shadows, but he has less snow left to lose. - Every night you refreeze a little and score a bonus. Each new day is hotter. From day 2 clouds drift over and drag patches of shade with them. From day 3 even the shade is warm. - A golden Frost Star now and then gives you a few seconds of frost shield.
