Nice game. The UI is a little confusing.
It was fun but the icons and controls where super confusing.
Seems everyone is saying the controls are confusing. Could someone please explain to me how they are confusing?
Controls and ui are kinda confusing
nice game!
When people say the controls are confusing it's not perse that the keys are hard to use or anything but it's more a question of understanding what is going on. I was just holding S + A/D to plow the road continuously but I was not sure what the ball of felt patches was for (I now read it was a slider of student presence?), the money you have is hard to see as tiny black letters in the bottom right and once I suddenly entered the shop (the icon did not respond to clicks earlier) I could not get out anymore, only to the title screen and back. Things move quickly in this game and there are a lot of brightly colours, big pixely things vying for your attention and then some really tiny things like the students and you. Also note how if I write all of this in a single paragraph it's harder to read than with line- and paragraph breaks. That's the difficulty.
Not that it's bad but consider we go into this without any context (and many people will never read your (extensive) description but just jump in.)
Anyway, good effort.
Thank you zenmumbler, I'll fix the description.
Was really relaxing watching the snow fall. Worked out you can periodically get rid of a bit of snow and jump not sure what else there was. Cute graphics. Nice.
