It's a pretty relaxing experience. The movement speed feels a bit sluggish though.

Movement is weird, I didn't really know what I was doing with it - but managed to get all the trees and give winter a good bashing.
Winter looks excellent with the icy skin and angular appearance. Summer with matt black and edges is not so great mind.
I liked the painting mechanic, and how jumping meant you didn't paint hte ground, but still streamed seeds there.
I like it. It reminds of elements of Okami a little. What you've got is good, but I'd love to see a more complete version post compo. Well done.
Lovely idea :)
Severely lacking in sound, shame because there was some nice atmosphere to it, and all it needed for that was a bit of music or something
Creativity is hiding your sources :)
d_durham - you have nailed one of my inspirations. Can anyone name the other (easier) one? There's an award in it for you both!
I felt like I was ice-skating which suited! Spent far too long trying to write messages in the snow. I did like the icy character, dancing together but more interaction would have been nice. Agree that some music would go a long way. Neat idea.
Really cool game. Making patterns is fun. I like the look of the characters and the trees, so pointy. It's only missing some pointy birds, o pointy pointy.
What a clever game!
I like the mood and the graphics and the ice skating mechanic. Taking trees and see it turn to spring is fun. Unfortunately I think the last tree is glitched, so I was stuck at 9/10. Some sound would have made it even better.
Inspiring. Feels like proteus-lite, very impressive for 48h. Jealous of your blitting/decals/projective however you're doing the "tree lives" effect. Nice feel. Could use some sound. Skated around for a long time compared to other games with more involved mechanics... Something very pleasurable about going for "that tree, just over there"
Looks great and plays well! I would love to see it become the joust game!
At one point Winter hit me so hard I was launched and the camera couldn't keep up :).
Good concept, but I dislike the camera and the player slowness.
