Very relaxing!

ranmara 2014-12-09 10:54

Really loved this <3

emkani 2014-12-09 10:54

Good mood and idea, the controls were ever so slightly frustrating for me and broke the relaxing moments.

techblogogy 2014-12-09 11:35

Very nice atmosphere great job!

flying-jester 2014-12-09 11:38

This is pretty cool! I wish there were more snowy areas, though.

myachin 2014-12-09 11:40

good game! liked fox and calming gameplay

jfreax 2014-12-09 11:41

Relaxing little game. I like the music and the overall mood of the game. Well done.

garethiw 2014-12-09 11:46

Lovely atmosphere! I made a thing with snow and wore a tophat, so life is good!

anokta 2014-12-09 11:59

looks elegant, really liked it! perhaps, pathfinding algorithm might do a better job though. nicely done overall! :)

tritegames 2014-12-09 12:14

Very cool idea, the fox died after I tried to push the snowball up the hill and I was really sad about it :(

2014-12-09 12:22

Very calming game, reminds me a lot of the games back in 2003. Sadly it is sometimes a bit hard to see how the terrain is shaped, so it is hard to predict.

lissaring 2014-12-09 12:22

I really loved the concept, but the controls were a bit frustrating!

valeour 2014-12-09 12:23

Died? What do you mean? Fox shouldn't be able to die. :(

2bit 2014-12-09 13:17

Good work on the mood and graphics. Theme is lacking.

gungnir 2014-12-09 13:44

I can't seem to rate this game, strange.

gungnir 2014-12-09 13:47

Did you opt-out of all categories maybe?
Anyway, some fairly advanced mechanics in this game. That's impressive. Unfortunately the controls are quite frustrating so that made it a little less enjoyable.

Thanks.

feizenbara 2014-12-09 15:04

Same here, I can't rate. It's pretty, somewhat fun, but a bit out of the theme.

valeour 2014-12-09 16:46

Fixed the rating issue. Hope you come back to vote! :(

mase 2014-12-09 23:32

I wonder if a less zoomed out view would make the game more immersive... the fox seems nicely modeled but is hard to appreciate from so far away. Also the black non-snowy ground looks unnatural.

I have trouble getting the rightmost snowball up the hill...

harley77 2014-12-11 13:28

It's beautiful. Like a little game of Zen.

ltyrosine 2014-12-11 22:11

Where's theme? I fail to see connection with one screen. Good graphics, amazing fox animation.

ethanwebster 2014-12-13 20:44

Fun little game, good job ;D

shellfishgames 2014-12-13 20:51

Very atmospheric and nice to look at, really liked the fox and its animations. Also thanks for the "cheat". :)

norgg 2014-12-13 21:16

Awesome! Really cute and relaxing, will have to give it to the kids to play around with on Android. Had to resort to a test snowball in the end because I managed to completely lose one of the lumps of coal after I foolishly melted it and sent it over a cliff, could maybe fix that by having them respawn after a while if they're left somewhere off-camera?

It took a while to get used to the locking on, but felt okay once I had.

cmweiss 2014-12-13 21:17

Pretty fun game! I enjoyed the mechanics and the little secrets hidden around the environment. Good challenge and exploration, it kept me engaged. Not to mention, you did a good job at making the player's goals very clear.

The only thing I think this game could use is some indication to judge how well the player did. Something like a "Play Time" display would be nice.

valeour 2014-12-13 21:28

~Norgg, they do respawn if they lose enough snow. :)
If they get lost however... then balls. Sorry!

valeour 2014-12-13 21:28

@CMWeissMedia, I thought that too, but I realised the ending is kind of how well you did. It varies depending on how much snow you collected throughout.

martial_cantarel_games 2014-12-13 22:06

is is not game on one screen))))

bloxri 2014-12-13 22:10

I rolled a ball around in some snow as a fox to relaxing music. 10/10

donovanwu 2014-12-13 22:16

This game has quite some great potential!

xanjos 2014-12-18 21:34

This was a rather nice and relaxing puzzler plus I liked the soundtrack (Also you can't go wrong with a fox wearing a top hat).

gmaker 2014-12-26 13:13

web link 404

valeour 2014-12-26 13:39

Thanks. Web link has been updated, but you can still try one of the downloadable versions though.

ultravisitor 2014-12-26 16:17

Very nice and pleasant to play. Its really nice to hear some sounds that aren't from bfxr ;) The ball moving system makes sense but perhaps could have a power indicator. But its nice that I can do everything with the mouse. The opening animation is a nice touch :)

snail_man 2014-12-26 18:02

Nice game. Great atmosphere, and the mechanics were really nice. The only real suggestion I have is proper pathfinding for the fox. It did get pretty annoying having to manually maneuver around cliffs that I couldn't even see.

gread72 2014-12-26 18:44

The game is design is pretty good. It's different.

Great graphics and music, but goal is not clear. Anyway, everything looks lovely.

babajaga 2014-12-28 17:07

Nice mood, trying to push a snowball out of the hole was a challenge worth of a greek myth :)

andymar 2014-12-28 17:33

Cute game and quite an original idea. I'm keeping the Android version, well done ;)

diegohenriquez 2014-12-28 18:08

Loved the audio it gave the game a very soothing mood. At times i found it difficult to determine if the area i am walking on something elevated. overall it was very lovely to experience this entry :D. good job

jupiter_hadley 2014-12-28 19:22

Such a cute fox game! I Included it in part 21 of my Ludum Dare 31 compilation video series, if you would like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/onSxxkN9CmE

paffe 2014-12-29 14:17

Nah, didn't really like it. Good effort, though. Don't give up. :)

alwaysinbeta 2014-12-29 15:02

Really nice graphics and audio. The controls felt a little frustrating at times, like having to maneuver around trees, but the snowball pushing was nicely done.

belstras 2014-12-29 23:17

Cute fox and nice environment. The music was very ambiental and relaxing. Feels like a solid game-

jasonlj 2014-12-30 01:52

I wanted to hug that fox so hard.
