really enjoyed the concept of this game! the mechanic is elegant and the graphics are cute. only critique is that the sunrise is a bit difficult to prepare for when it first appears. overall, would love to see an expansion on the premise :)

Mr Snowman really should've prepared his vacation better, silly guy

Love the idea. Understanding to play was a bit difficult in the beginning but in the 2nd try I got it. Maybe there could be a few more lines.

:snowman: Whoo, Snowman crew!

Cute concept and nice art style. I was not prepared the first time and killed them initially but was able to get it on my second go. Talking to them was a bit difficult though, you have to get really close to continue the dialogue and there was one time that I was behind them trying to shield them from the sun and they said something so I had to put down the umbrella and run around to the other side hoping the sun wouldn't move too much in that time.

Couple bugs I noticed, nothing too bad but just wanted to point them out. If I tried to look around the camera would all of a sudden jump randomly. In end menu, if you ended close to the umbrella you could still pick it up an spin it around.

Really a game that be very creative and unexpected, following the theme in the best possible way. I really felt like "Delay the inevitable" !

At least he got to see those majestic camels...

Nice game ! I was a bit surprised and did not know what to do at the begining, so i just protected him with my own shade, not using the umbrella X) Nice use of the theme !

Excellent idea! The most innovative one I've played so far!

(I don't think you should be thanking me)

Simple but very innovative indeed. I felt the theme with my heart there, I wanted to run somewhere, to find the water, find the ice, but I was never too fast and had to go back to shade Mr. Snowman, I felt hopeless.

At least he was able to fulfil his dream to see :camel: :dromedary_camel: :camel: :dromedary_camel:

There was a point just before sunrise and sunset, where there is no shade yet, the map is dark, but Mr. Snowman is already melting. I think that was a bug, or at least wasn't very clear what is that. Also, before the sunset, player is naturally behind Mr. Snowman to keep the parasol there, but we can't see what he is saying, because the speech bubble doesn't rotate to player and is invisible from the "back".

I struggled a little bit while finding out how to play, but I figured my way out. Its a great and innovative idea!

Yaaay, the camels did come!!! A nice job! Love the minimalism and deep hopelesness. A hit on the theme. Cheers :)
