Not bad for a first timer! Loved the effect the dog had on the snowman :laughing:

I understood the premise I think but I couldn't ever get to where ever I was probably suppose to go. Maybe melt factor is too high or maybe there is something I'm missing that could be better described.

Nice sound work and overall visuals.

I really liked the core idea. I was sometimes confused where I was supposed to go. Also it is just a bit too easy to die. But I see a lot of potential here. If this is your first time participating in game jam, well done! I think you have great team

That was a nice one! Not sure what I'm supposed to do with the key in the end, though

Hi fellow first timers! Thank you for voting! I played your game and I must say it is an awesome idea quite thrilling! Awesome what you did in such a short amount of time! Cool mechanic of collecting snow to fill up the health.

This game hard XDD pretty COOL too

That was a blast! I really like the idea of snow melting, it works very well for the theme. The individual graphics assets look pretty sweet! Definitely the game can be really difficult out of the mechanic but also out of lack of indicators telling you were to go. But the running story is a nice touch! Also, thank you for rating my game and great job on y'alls Jam! :D

Good game... the dog was a nice touch. Took a little bit before I figured out I could refresh my life bar.

andrey-zhukov 2022-04-05 09:29

For the meeting with the dog immediately plus in the Humor category :)

ljay 2022-04-05 09:32

@andrey-zhukov Thanks! If you finish 3 short levels you'll see the plot twist:)

andrey-zhukov 2022-04-05 09:35

@ljay Wow, I have to try - it's not that easy :)

henrik-ganard 2022-04-05 09:36

I liked the idea, if this is the first game, well done. On a negative note the controllers fellt a little sluggish with a small delay in the input, on the positive side I absolutly love the fact that you become yellow snow when you get to close to a dog =). Thanks for making this game.

Quite funny. The art and animation was great and the sound effects really worked as well. The music was intense for a game about a snowman running around and it was great as a result!

zer0-flash 2022-04-05 14:05

Amazing game very hard tho i mean you did say its as hard as mine but nooo brooo urs is wayyy harder the mechanics were amazing.

kason-xiv 2022-04-05 14:53

Lol funny game. Definitely pretty hard. "Oh nooooo!"

100th-coin 2022-04-05 15:31

The music could use some different synths and some audio balancing. The lead guitar(?) is especially irritating. The gameplay is a lot of fun, and I love the little "on nooo" as you melt. ha! the art is adorable, and the levels were well made. Also I wasn't expecting that last level, with the car and the hundreds of trash cans. Fantastic work!

kurlby 2022-04-05 15:38

Really fun hard game! My snowman keeps melting T.T poor thing..

damakuno 2022-04-05 15:40

For a first entry, this is pretty good! The music felt like it didn't fit the game but hey it may just be my preference. Other than that the gameplay idea you had was implemented okay which is nice, if I had something to gripe about it's that I am unsure what to do at first until several tries, but I think that's not too bad, encourages exploration. I particularly liked the animation on the snowman!

str8griz 2022-04-05 19:47

Haha that was pretty hilarious, great entry. Music shredded!

Can't wait for winter to come back so I can go pee on some snowmen, lol.

evilsock 2022-04-06 09:55

Are The Army of snowmen coming?

egor010121 2022-04-06 16:22

So funny!

espylinder 2022-04-06 19:47

Overall I found the game to be pretty fun! I didn't mind the difficulty considering you can instantly respawn and try again. However, sometimes my snowman would load in and already have lost health despite being in shadow.

kr0s 2022-04-07 20:45

The game is quite funny, but could use some polish, also better instructions would be helpful.

sophie-s 2022-04-08 00:38

the idea is fun, but possibly you can give some detailed instruction. It took me some time to figure out eating a small snow drift will make me melt more slowly

ds-nahogara 2022-04-08 14:10

The game is fun! I would have added sound controls and maybe decrease the amount of damage the player takes from the light, i like the idea of melting as a mechanic! Great job :v:

solah 2022-04-08 15:28

Really fun game, love the plot twist at the end xDD, well done!

rogsound 2022-04-09 16:13

It was fun! Matching theme 100! The music is rather primitive, but the gameplay is super! I like it!

bluedingo 2022-04-09 22:02

Nice art and game. Wish the player was given the direction on where to go at the beginning although

saryah 2022-04-10 07:06

Cool game! The art style was nice, and I loved the little "oh-no!" when I melted too. Overell great entry for the jam!

coleslaughter 2022-04-12 05:51

It took me a while to understand why my snowman kept turning yellow, then I realized it was because of the dogs. :rofl:

Nice job with this one! It was kind of tough, but not so tough that I wasn't able to make it to the final boss and come out victorious! :sunglasses:

dlan-bess 2022-04-19 20:50

You handled the theme requirement pretty well. Not too fond of the music, but overall it was quite fun avoiding the obstacle and running around trying to survive. Had some graphic glitch here and there, but managed to finish the game, good job!
