interesting game. it took me a while to get used to the reverse look. maybe you can add in an option to have it the other way. but ofcourse that is me being nit picky. the game is fun and on theme.

Inverted mouse made things quite hard (couldn't do the jumping part), but other than that it's quite an enjoyable game!
@jcmonkey @frib There are options for inverting the camera directions in the pause menu
Never felt so attached to a snowman before. I was properly invested in my own survival for a minute, there. Great use of the theme, very nice to look at. Good job.
Wohoo thats was hard, i finally saved snowman!! But very cool experience :) We made abslolutely same like this game in 2d but a bit thraser :) Check out and rate pls. Snowmans rules! This game is hard like ours but its coool
Nice game with really fun gameplay. Love the idea.
Agree that the camera should be inverted by default, had to change that. I got right to buying the flight tickets twice only to get hit by a car right before! well designed, could use some music though!
Driver are crazy at crossroad :smile: He hurt me at the ATM
Funny to play. I like the accessories to delay the sun effect.
I have a low end laptop and the game ran with much lag.
I like the idea of exploring the open world and interacting with things. I wish there was a core mechanic that made the game more innovative though.
@jogy34 no clue how I missed those settings. Managed to beat the game after changing it :D
I got the ticket to Alaska! Very cool game (no pun intended), i particularly liked the level design and the natural way you get players to explore
Oh no I melt :(
I like the idea ! I found it quite hard, but I think it is mostly because of the inverted camera that I never managed to adapt to. The level design is pretty cool, it is pretty good at teaching you the mechanics one step at a time, so I did not feel lost. Good job !
Yeah, that inverted camera is definitely trippy. A fun little playground with some cute hidden secrets.
Might want to have a framerate limiter in future projects as Unreal Engine games are notorious for taking up all the resources and making my stream choppy. Good idea for the theme, though!
This game was a lot more fun then I was expecting. I was really motivated to get that plane ticket to only have it... you know. The level would have benefited from a sky light in the scene. That would lighten up the shadows and if you use an HDRI in the sky light, it will also help light the scene more dynamically. But great job on everything!
Well done, I enjoy being able to play with the controller. Thanks!
A nice map with lots of things! I like the concept of this game, the powerups, secrets, the exploration, I can imagine an interesting collectathon with small maps and a "kinda rushed" gameplay, something like THPS except it's a snowman trying to survive instead of skateboarding haha.
Great job jogy. I couldn't handle the camera at first and I'm so so glad that the game had options to change it :sweat_smile:
haha really fun little game. Well done!
Heyo, thanks for submitting your game to stream! It was a cute little thing, the bank heist was particularly funny. You can find the vod here if you'd like to rewatch: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1449607637
One of my favorites so far! Very fun, figuring the tricks out and getting to the big goal was great. Had a laugh at the end :)
I like the concept! I re-played several times for trying other things. :snowman:
controls were weird, found the settings a bit later. Liked the hat though.
That's a cool entry ;) I liked those stylish upgrades! Game economy balance forces you to explore every corner of the map if you want to get the ticket, i even had to climb up that building -_- That was fun :) Damned car ran me over every second time, i wish i had some option to break it and survive %)
Interesting game. But it has one big problem — unreal engine 5.On my teammates' PCs perfomance was really bad. UE5 is not very optimazed right now. I think UE4 is the better choice. Nevertheless, good game.
Great game, I like this low-poly style and the goal with flight to alaska :) A lot of fun
Sets the mood right away - tone is instant as soon as you see snowman in ice. Open world puzzle vibes like apple arcade's sneaky Sasquatch game or untitled goose game. Surprisingly bad ass to rome around as snow man. Fun jam, thanks for the play!
