A real hidden gem, a metroidvania with a wonderful artstyle. Looks great and snoo is well animated and cute, hope this gets more ratings soon!

Great take on the theme. I've never played as a melting snowman before, so that was a fun experience :snowman: Pretty expansive world and very lively with all the enemies moving around. Great job!
Awesome idea! I had fun playing it. Maybe a little more feedback when you hit a fire could be nice :D The art and sound are really good, and the gameplay is fun. Congrats!
I really like the snowman regenerating mechanic, did something similiar in LD43. Overall a very good entry, great graphics! Just a very minor complaint, whenever you get hit, the game seems to freeze for a moment. Maybe intentional or caused by the webgl export, but something was a bit clunky there. Other than that, great work!
Amazing job! Neat mechanics, nice music and even a cut scene!
Now thats what i call GAME! Nice Sound effect
Very charming! Graphics are great and the music compliments them nicely. I enjoyed the level design as well. The only problem that I see is that it makes little sense to attack the fire enemies - they re-spawn rather fast and it just makes much more sense to avoid them and just proceed in your search for your hat :smile:
Great job overall! I really enjoyed it!
very cute game man~
Very charming game with a wonderful atmosphere! I enjoyed helping Snoo get his hat :)
Great entry!!I love all aspects of the game. Especially the graphics, design of the characters. Also Great design of the regenerate mechanic. Love to know what you think of my entry~
Hey! Honestly from the intro I didn't expect much but the mechanics are built out nicely - as in learn one at a time - which made it very enjoyable to learn as you play. Nice job!
Super fun! I liked the Ice smashing effect and the grappling hook. Some sounds would be nice but apart from that its super fun.
lol...I played through the whole game without realizing there was an attack power-up with the arms that I had completely skipped over...Had to double-back and grab them so I could "pass as human"
Super impressed you were able to make this by yourself! Reminds me of some old-school adventure games with its silly premise and anthropomorphized characters. :) Nice job!
Great game ! Mybe you should think of displaying all the available "upgrade", because I miss the arms and it seemes I wasn't the only one x) Otherwise it's really nice and fun to play, love the feeling of the scarf grab ! Keep up the good work!
@polypickle @zivfo @polymars @morandigame Thank you for your comments! I've been aiming for a cute somewhat consistent artstyle in the last few jams, I'm very happy with how this one in particular came out.
@binroot @bongo227 @lou-bagel I'm glad you enjoyed the gameplay, if I had more time I would expand the level a bit and add more complicated puzzles at the end, but given the time restrictions I think it came out ok.
@tomdeal thats a crazy coincidence that you made a snowman game in a past jam and also stumbled upon this game! Yeah I had fun developing this mechanic. Not sure if it was HTML or not, I noticed the browser version gets choppy at times so I added a Windows port as well. If I had more time I would have added more feedback such as sound effects and particles when you hit and get hit by enemies.
@camilo-quintero @the1 @frozen-spirit I was planning on adding sound effects Sunday, but I was really tired and ended up giving up. I've been trying to organize my jam time management better but its really hard not to get sidetracked with other things. In my case I focused a lot on polishing graphics and the audio ended up suffering a bit. Thanks for playing!
@fabula-rasa thanks for your feedback. My initial plan was to make the carrot attack destroy the BBQs, so that at the end you could confront a man which would repair broken BBQs. Ended up running out of time but I totally agree with you. Thanks for playing!
@coleslaughter @haoro That is my bad, haha. I initially planned on adding an 'ability gate' somewhere that would require the arms before you reach the hat. Glad you figured it out regardless. Cheers!
I like the concept and that you have a various mechanics. I missed the arms at first and went through the whole level twice looking for it. Maybe some checklist of needed things would do. Also, would be nice to put all actions into on one input - mouse or keyboard only.
That's a cute little arcade you've built!
Actually, was expecting more levels to come after I've passed through all the tutorial things and gathered my node, scarf and hat. I've just got into the game, after all :)
Also, did not see the point in shooting the flames. Seems like new ones would inevitably spawn and you can evade their shots better while not shooting.
Also, tips disappearing after you collect the thing (as was with the hat) should not happen, I believe
Still, rather solid and nice entry :thumbsup:
I remember your awesome shark game from LD44. This one is also awesome, well done. Lots of polish for 48 hours. I wish the BGM loop were a little longer but I get it, it's compo. Great job.
Best game, the idea of combining the objects on your snowman is really good. The level design is well done. The enemies are a little hard to kill, I just avoid them to finish the game.
I like it! The cinematic cutscene at the start of the game was a really cool addition! I imagine that took a while to make. The story was nice, and the gameplay was really solid! Great work.
