ZIMA
A downloadable game for Windows
Story
Zima is a boss-rush adventure where you play as a cowboy windsurfing across a frozen desert to save giant corrupted creatures with their trust lasso.
Latest Update
- ZIMA V1.1!
This marks the final update for the game.
Over the past months we've taken the game from an early prototype to a complete playable experience. Thank you to everyone who downloaded the game, played it, and shared feedback with us.
Although this is our final release, we know there is still room to improve the encounter design, gameplay clarity, and overall combat flow. As our academic project comes to an end, development will conclude here for now.
Thank you for playing and supporting the project!

The environment looks amazing!!
And the creature is beautifullll.
The attacks look and feel very cool too.
Its sometimes a bit frustrating to get hit by the smash attack or stuck on terrain.
But it feels very cool to cure the creature and to surf and lasso around especially when picking up speed
cool ending menu, nice boss creature.
why character no main texture?
This game makes me want to surf on that boat for eternity, just taking in the views and enjoying the exploration of it. Shame I couldn't figure out how to save the poor beast from those nails it had. It definitely seemed like in a lot of pain.
looks amazing ⭐
