I don’t normally like puzzle games, but this game had so many levels that felt like there were so many different ways to solve it. Really fun and creative.

I could lose, but I can't figure out how am I supposed to win. Nothing happens when I enter a cell where a present was.

Hi guys, the game have some bugs: -the ice was supposed to crack when you step on the ice tile that have the bombs -some animations was missing but they are at the project (bombs, ice cracking) -the first phase were to be a mini tutorial but because the time, we needed to create just one simple level. -Player animation has some bugs but it is working the isometric movement. -A high score screen was supposed to appear when you step into a tile that has the gift.

Hi guys we couldn't polish the game in time to resolve all bugs, but we might in the future keep fixing it.

Very cool game (no pun intended).

I ran into the same problems that A.Bond - I couldn't progress at all and was stuck on what to do outside outside of losing the game when walking into bombs. A bit disappointing because on the art and audio side it seems like the game has a lot of charm!

Well... I had to restart the game three times and read everything here to figure out and notice that the gifts and bombs that show for a split second at the beginning aren't actually a glitch.

I collected the gifts (I think) and I avoided the bombs but I'm not sure what do do next. I can't go back to the house or anything.

A friendly advice: I clearly see you guys both wanted to contribute. So you started painting and drawing and animating. And the art is nice, indeed! But for the next time, be sure to have the core gameplay mechanics working first, before creating any art. With placeholder ugly cubes/squares or whatever. Only then start spending time on the assets.

Still congratulations on putting this together and publishing it here, cheers!

Hi @pcmaster thanks for the feedback :) we had the core game play done in a simple way, we had the start game screen, the game and the conditions to win and to do the game over, and reset the game to be able to repeat it, thsi was suppose to be and simple puzzle tutorial, need an cut scene or a screen saying things to help the player but we couldn't do it on time, the elf that run with the present were with bombs, it throwed the bombs into the mountains and caused an avalanche, so in the begging you see where are the bombs and gift, in a second moment it is covered buy the ice so you have to follow a way that have the gift and get it :).

But in the last day of the jam I had problems with the code, bugs and bugs I did my best to fix some of it, but I couldn't fix all on time, my developer partner couldn't help me so much because she had problems with her notebook, and on top of it I was running out of time because I was doing the things during my moving out, so the things here was so unstable kk

I had as well to help my sound partner because her notebook broke, and she had to use her cellphone instead.

But despite all this, we had a good experience in this jam, we will try to see all the good and bad points to be better in the next one :3

I can see there is a good will but I can't finish the first level like others here and it's a pity.

If it was possible to finish it, there must be feedback when gifts are picked, but I think it's a good idea to make "Memoty" game like.

Very nice visuals & sounds. While I understood the mechanics (I love puzzle games after all) I couldn't collect the presents to progress. If you manage to fix the bugs tag me here so I can check the game again.

Your game is excellent, you gave me unforgettable emotions!

larissa-barros-fernandes 2021-10-20 15:40

nice take on minesweeper and memory game! cute art!

erikengineengineer 2021-10-20 19:16

I think I encountered just the bug where you cannot win the first level.

raphiell 2021-10-21 02:16

Nice art and sound, but unfortunately I wasn't able to progress.
