I don't have "LOVE" or whatever I need to open the file, and I don't expect much people do. You should share executables.

I downloaded LÖVE, but I guess most persons won't. If you can, you should make your game playable on web-browser or at least downloadable, so more people can play it.
As for the game: it's quite disorientating at first, but it's quite pleasant to play once we understood how it works. The graphics are simple but it's enough. The menus are very simple, but at least it's clear. The concept is clever, and I would personally like a more developed game on this concept. This game would be scarier if the snowman could enter any time and if we should hide quickly (in a closet or something), because here, if the temperature is high enough, we are totally safe and we aren't stressed.
So, nice game overall, and don't forget to be sure a lot of people can play your game next time ! :)
Didn't find how to use the cannon. Otherwise, good idea, it's very challenging !
Neat game! I like the how intricate it is! What might be nice is a tutorial, or a level system that slowly introduces new mechanics! E.g. Start with just the cannon, then next level add the heat register, etc. Nice job!

Could not play the game because i dont have the required software. On a proffesional side you need to include runnables or atleast a web version of your game otherwise its not realy playable for many people including me
Hi guys, I much appreciate every comment. I didn't have an energy nor the windows machine to do the builds after the jam but I created the windows build for machines without love2d now.
This is good game with good idea. I think that in base of it you may create something bigger
Nice art style, but there's an error if the snowman gets me, or if I click "help" on the main menu

>main.lua:26 in function draw
This is a very weird game, but weird in the original sense!
Took me a bit to understand everything, but overall it's a tense managing game. You've done good work making everything fit together! Conrgrats on doing all that in such a short time
Interesting circle design for a game. I couldn't figure out how to fire the cannon (I got to it and it would make a bang sound, but the snowman just kept coming anyway). I also kept clicking the wrong part of a location so that it would prompt the buy menu instead of going there. At first I thought the light bulb icon was a lock icon.
Graphics are basic but are suitable for this stylized form. I'm glad you went to freesound for this one as it adds so much to the gamefeel.
The more I look at it, the more I like the circle design... but maybe not so much for this game type.
The game works well mechanically, but there is some balance issues here. It's incredibly difficult to keep sleep and temperature near optimal while having enough money to build and fire the cannon. The infinite money version helped a bit with learning how things work, but perhaps some levels of difficulty before the normal game to build up skill in the game would help.
