Looks awesome :) ! I was just wondering, can we only start rating once the compo time has ended ?

blinkeye 2017-12-03 22:58

Thank you! It's the first time im joinging the race so i don't know yet :sweat_smile:

I really like this game. The concept is solid and really well executed. While I found the control for movement to be difficult, I liked this as it gave the game that little bit of extra challenge.

Personally I would have like to seen a scoring system in addition to the amount of time survived (perhaps based off of time survived + the amount of logs picked up).

I also found that you can fall through the world if you go past the grey mountainous bits.

Overall though this is really well made and is a fun little game to play.

If you'd like you can check out my entry here: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/toy-hero You play as a toy robot who's got to hide away all the other toys so that mum can't find and take them away!

I cannot believe you did this amazing game alone, the art is beautiful, the gameplay is really good, very good concept, I hope you work on it after the jam I'd love to see your progress. Amazing game

The snow building up on clothing is cool.

At first I tried to put the wood on the fire instead of the log pile.

Music is funky. Maybe a bit too funky for the scenario of a family freezing to death in the wild. But it keeps the pace going.

Cool snow effect, the inside of the home looked very cosy too.

The game feels really polished, apart from movement being somewhat hard. Graphically it is amazingly cute, and effect of getting more 'snowy' is beautiful. The animations are cute, and the music somewhat fits the gameplay (although tends to be quite loud - but maybe that was just sound setup on my side).

Amazing work for 1 man team.

Keep up the good work.

Loved it! The idea is nice, models are AMAZING. The game is really hard tho, but I guess mostly because of me playing it badly :D Played it at little smaller resolution and noticed that UI was not scaling down, so I kinda could not see the score at the bottom left part of the screen. Asides from that, amazing job developer and keep on going with these project! Cheers.

Couldn't help but think of the game Motherload while playing this. Would have loved to have some sort of progression or reward system to make things more interesting. Maybe something that would help collect wood faster, or maybe enemies that chase you?

Art is beautiful, game has a simple but effective loop going on. Atmosphere was nice, would have chosen a different track for the music personally but that's not something I'd take points off for. Good work! Got a highscore of 302!

Really beautiful game ! Graphics are awesome and gameplay is cool :) My only big regret is the music, which kills all the ambiance, would have been even better to have only wind sound ambiance instead.

Anyways, that's a great job !

Really pretty game, and the gameplay is fine. The music was great for the first 1-2 minutes, then it gets really annoying. Overall a good LD game.

its clear that dev(or devs) knows what he does. Graphics, attention to detail (snow melting near fire), gameplay... everything is right where it should be! Well designed, well crafted!

decipator 2017-12-05 15:40

The progression, outside the place was very challenging, most by the controls that try to simulate snow (I think?), over the controls all the game is pretty neat and polished. Nice entry.

Lovely visuals and presentation. Wasn't sure if staying by the fire warmed my character up or not, but a good entry.

elanya 2017-12-05 19:41

The game realy feels polished. And the graphics are just beautifull.

mactinite 2017-12-06 09:48

Really well done, I think the graphics and effects are effective and look good. The game mechanics are fine, a little repetitive, but that's not really an issue imo.

xahell 2017-12-06 10:07

For for reason, the game turns really slow on my computer.

Anyway, the design is ambitious but it feels nice, it's an impressive work for a compo.

Good job!

6smith 2017-12-06 20:04

neat idea, love the art!

marcosm10 2017-12-08 12:29

Really cool, love the details like snow in the clothes and how th wood accumulates when you pick it up. Only issue I have is with the controls, but overall very good work!

korpokrowa 2017-12-08 13:00

Nice game with great graphics. The music... well, let's just say that is not as good as the rest of game :P. Good job

linky439 2017-12-08 13:09

Really impressive for a compo game!

The art is great (I especially love how the character get more and more snow on him as you stay outside), the concept is simple yet effective. The audio is a bit on the down side, but it isn't that much of a big deal.

Congrats! My score was 322 seconds.

hilvon 2017-12-08 21:35

A nice game. Could use a better controls... But really cute graphics (especially snow appearing on the character) and animation. And I relly liked the sound. Odd that ratings for it are disabled.

toboggan 2017-12-09 00:39

Very nice artwork and game. The music felt very out of place to me.

junjunlowpoly 2017-12-15 23:25

This game has simple mechanism, but is very well implemented. Especially the graphics is amazing. It does not look like a game made with only 48 hours. The control is a bit uncomfortable and the music does not suit the game that well. But overall a good entry.

nekoballs 2017-12-17 19:12

Nice little game! Really liked the art style. The gameplay got a bit dull after a while but it was ok.

I am frequently asked where one can simply find a good sledge to buy. For instance, here is a Mercedes [wooden snow sled](https://mercteil.com/wooden-snow-sled-touring-sledge-two-seater-genuine-kathrein-rodel-mercedes-benz-collection-retrofit-PV25N) ; you can look at it yourself and read the detailed information about it. They are also more than reasonable in price, which I hope will make them useful and enable you to learn more about them. Good fortune!
