Very cool concept! Very fitting for the season as well.

It was really satisfying watching the snow I had shoveled piling up on the side of the road. Fun game!

I had one small issue where an ambulance got stuck just off screen, probably due to the resolution I was playing in. A well placed grenade sorted that out though.

I love the graphics too.

main criticism i have is with the grenades, looking like cylinders, also, you can place infinite grenades.

Cool idea! The shoveling was already pretty fun but adding some sound to it would do so much! Splitting the game up into levels and letting people buy upgrades (like a bigger shovel) would make me play for longer.

Very nice concept.

Yup, buying upgrades and make more levels would definitely be something that improve this game :)

Was quite a bit of frantic rushing! Until I learned you can place as many grenades as you want :D Fun, cute, small concept. Nice work!

Gosh this was fun! The grenades seem to be a bit bugged but the snow mechanics are so nice to play around with

The snow mechanics are really nice to play with. Very creative and fun, great job!

Good and simple. Nice snow mechanic.

Very cool concept. I just missed some sounds for the shovel or a background music. Overall a very interesting take on the theme.

Good concept. Maybe some music and sound would be nice. I also found It too easy, I kept playing for more than 30 days and it wasn't difficult at all. Maybe a higher difficulty curve + buying some kind of upgrades would make it more strategic-challenging.

On the other hand, I love the mechanics and how you made all the tiled-snow thing.

Good job! :)

Very fun game. was confusing at the start because it took some time for snow to spawn but the rest is really great! cheers!

Hey, this is a really cool idea and it works perfectly! I only think 300 days is a bit too much, as the time passes relatively slowly. Also some christmas music (or other) would've been awesome but as this is a compo entry I can understand the struggle with sound... Anyway, nice game! :D

Ha didn't realize you could drag the shovel across multiple tiles at first. Playing with the snow is great, I had fun trying to make a fort in the background. I think if you added a little more variance or had a more clear win/loss condition then the game would have more longevity !

The idea is interesting, and the graphics is good. The gameplay was okay, but it is super slow. I would liked a bit more to do, and some music would have been great. But overall a well made LD game.

Good idea, but it was difficult. At first the snow kept updating all over the place and it was super laggy. Then it was hard to tell if the snow was too tall and I would find myself with a stack of ambulances. It was a good idea, but the gameplay needs some improvement :)
