Creative use of physics makes quite a challenge! I found that going slow helps avoid most damage. Managed to get myself stuck in this position and stopped being able to move at all. 10/10

Made it! I like the sunny end :D The middle part was difficult though :D I like your idea and the drag the little cutie has! I feel like some animations, sound effects or a parallax background would help the game, as sometimes you have to stay and wait and nothing happens on the screen. But its a very cute game, thanks for sharing!
I loved the rope physics and how the child interacted. The mechanics where funh to understand but i would try to add some music/sound or narrative to the game to really fill it al up. Overall a great experience!
Controls can be difficult and a bit unresponsive, the checkpoint system is a life saver, it's not obvious if you're handling onto the ice or not which is particularly difficult near ice where you slide.
At the first check point when you climb up the wall, there is a moving platform. It is always moving away from you when you restart at the camp. This means you just have to sit there, doing nothing until it returns which makes for a dull experience. On top of the difficulty of this first challenge I'm sure it's a point that will cause a lot of people to stop.
The babies face is hilarious.
This is a really clever use of theme, and I think a perfect jam game idea. Usually I try to smash through these to see more of the game, but this is one that really makes me take my time, yet still allows me to play at my own pace. Great job!
I loved the way you did walrunning xD also the dootboi is adorible. I couldnt get past the iceblocks comming down from the ceiling tho :P he kept snagging on the blocks
I love the characters, they look pretty warm in those coats! Some snow sounds would have really added to the mood.
My lovely experience so far: - Pushed into the void by my baby mid-air while jumping on a plateform :( - Stepped on baby and killed it :( - Pushed under big block of crusing ice by sliding baby :( - Made it to warmer climate en coconut water :sunglasses:
I had trouble understanding how to climb at first, maybe a possible improvement for next time ? Otherwise, loads of fun :D
I'm not overstating at all by calling this a Masterpiece! Wonderful game! I 100% recommend making this into a full-published game.
I was feeling so proud of carefully navigating the first set of obstacles without much damage…and then I accidentally jumped on the kid's head and killed it. 10/10.
The character art is very cute and I found the mechanics challenging without being too frustrating. Thanks for the great game!
At first I thought I was a huge dog, then the game kept me thinking why am I dragging the baby with a leash? Quite frustrating game, kept killing the baby or sliding off the platforms. The level design was good though when I finally reached the end after dyeing 18364981267491872634 times, it felt really good. Art was charming but lacked some animation, and music was just not there, but I know how working on those under 48 hours can be too much so no worries there. Nice entry, good job :D
I enjoyed it, each time I died I still wanted another turn. Reloading the first checkpoint and waiting for the platform was a bit of a pain though >_>
It's a great idea, and physics is very interesting
This was great! Really fun to play, although I don't think the child had quite as much fun after I crushed it with a platform! :/ Very cute art style and a novel idea.
