i really liked graphics

Needs some explanation on how to play, it's easy to loose interest even against the wonderful graphics. I also couldn't get the connection to the theme.

The gnomes only have 1 hit point and if you lose one it's game over. You have to save them all.

Well done graphics and interesting idea. The map is a little too big to keep my interest. I'm also not sure what everything did, like the mushrooms or the mush command. Regardless the game has potential, good job!

Looks good! Unfortunately it runs too slowly for me (dual-core laptop 2GHZ, onboard graphics, 3GB ram) to be able to really play it.

Awesome graphics ! Actually a bit laggy when you scroll. It take a lot of time before really play ! Turns are a bit too long for my taste. I don't know if it's a bug, but when I chose to build a snow block, I couldn't do anything else the next turn. It keeps building snowblocks every turns :(

The block building is a two step process, you build the block then select a direction to drop the block.

Nice graphics, sometimes it seems like the block get stuck on a character even after multiple turns. It seems a bit overpowered to be able to hit enemies all over the map directly and the was a bit slow for my taste.

Good graphics! The gameplay is hard to understand, but the ambience is here!

Good graphics and it really has a Christmas-y mood to it. I was not exactly sure what to do in order to keep the gnomes safe though. Your game is very ambitious and has potential, but it needs some more detailed instructions and possibly a tutorial.

The controls are very difficult to handle. When player have to choose a direction dont show a target, show the line starting from the character. Sometime the target was sticking to my cursor after I finished the action.
I also had problem building blocks. the block was most of the time stuck on the character and moving with him.

Thanks for all the great feedback I am going to start working on a new version with improvements. Cheers. :)
