3	''Marvin's Mittens'' is a charming 2D PlatformGame, with light Metroidvania elements but absolutely no enemies in it. It was released for [[Platform/IBMPersonalComputer PC]] in 2014 by Breakfall, and is available on Platform/{{Steam}}.

5	A little boy called Martin is playing in the snow when suddenly one of his mittens is stolen. He soon finds a camp of elves who have had their mittens stolen too.

7	When Martin declares he's going to get all their mittens back the elves grant him the power to float.

10	!! Marvin's Mittens provides examples of the following tropes:
11	* AlliterativeTitle: Named due to the first name of the protagonist and the items he's gathering.
12	* AmbidextrousSprite: Averted. Marvin's left Mitten is stolen and his left hand is always the mittenless one, no matter which direction he faces.
13	* AntiPoopSocking: Marvin has to come home before the sun goes down. It keeps the game's pace slow as intended.
14	* DoorToBefore: With the help of the miner elf Marvin can access shortcuts to earlier areas. All of which form a perfect line for his toboggan to sail through.
15	* FirstPersonSnapshooter: A variation. Marvin can make sketches of any animals he comes across with eleven to track down.
16	* FreeRangeChildren: Marvin can go spelunking and climb over a broken railway bridge on his own as long as he's back before sunset.
17	* GottaCatchThemAll: The collectible snowflakes actually serve an important purpose, powering up his double jump to the levels of flight.
18	* JumpPhysics: Marvin starts off jumping his own height but with the power granted by the elves he can soar int the clouds with his double jump.
19	* MixAndMatchCritter: [[spoiler:The Mitten Thief is a fluffy creature about the size of a Fox with reindeer antlers.]]
20	* MonsterIsAMommy: [[spoiler:Turns out the Mitten Thief was stealing mittens so it's babies could sleep in them and stay warm. Marvin returns the two mittens he retrieves upon finding this.]]
21	* TheVoice: Marvin's Mom calls him home at the end of each day and hums him a lullaby but doesn't appear outside of her shadow in the doorway.
