Awesome graphics and really original concept! :D At first I didn't get the scroll controls but after getting used to it everything was fine! Maybe make the items clickable with the mouse? :)

Hello guys! Could you edit the screen size on itch.io so it is less wide? I can't access the bottom right fullscreen button to adjust as it is now. Pin me in your response, I'd like to give you feedback, this looks promising ! :D

That was a nice and relaxing game. It took me a minute to get the controls but overall nice job! I would suggest letting me choose my item slot through number bar or something just because i'm on a track pad and it was hard to be accurate when choosing a slot, but that's mostly a me problem. Nice job!

What a cute, cosy, adorable game! I really liked the isometric pixel art and the music and mood was great, the whole thing made me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

We updated the screen size on the HTML5, I dunno what was wrong, resolution is the same :) @horda

It is very satisfying to melt the snow, and the game is relaxing. I like it!

Nice little game ! Here are my thoughts:

- I Like the idea that only a fire breathing dragon could cultivate vegetable in middle of the winter. Creativity resides sometime on finding path around our expectations. - The music is soo good and relaxing, especially the smooth saxo solo part, it's from another time, I love it. - Realy good job on the graphics too, the snow effect works great. - It's a little short on gameplay maybe, I couldn't find how to cultivate anything but carrot (did I miss sometihng?) so the player quicly has no more objective when the inventory if full of these. - Queuing orders works really well gameplay-wise : excellent addition.

Promising game, by talented peoples !

Cute and great art, god jod. I think melting snow and farming that flace it a great idea surely that flace don't need water doesn't it? :D

Very cool idea, love the graphics and the audio is nice but the gameplay could be more interesting.

Was disappointed to not be able to do anything with a tree(only reason I even tried was lacing anything else to do after getting all the 3 plants I saw and figuring out they want specific soil types).

Not being able use up my last plant on melting is nice but it's a bit too overzealous by doing it even when I have other stacks of that plant.

Almost lost my position when I tried going back into the cave, couldn't see where I was or tiles I could move into.

Love the mood! Also thought the hand icon is flame icon first :smile:

Here is my playtest:

Using an adorable dragon to remove snow to plant food. Thats such a cool concept! I like it! You did a great job. The graphics and audio are fantastic! :D

A very good game! Amazing mood, cool art style and the song is relaxing. One of the best games I played on this Ludum Dare.

Such a relaxing game- this is a nice one to play with a hot coffee and some snacks ^~^ I love the cozy atmosphere, and the sprite art is adorable! I'm not sure if I'm missing something, but aftera while I couldn't pick up tomatoes or the new plant here. image (1).png I really enjoyed this one!

Nice polished game! Good main idea but I think it would be better if the game was harder. For example you can add some enemies who will hunt to your harvest and you need to protect the plants. Nonetheless it is a very good game!

What an atmosphere! The art and music go together so well. The falling snow creates a really cozy atmosphere. Game is fun too, well done!

vivek-sharma20 2023-01-14 05:06

hi.. very good art style for game, specially the environment creation. Gameplay is a bit confusing to start with , some tips would help. Also the hosting website is very distracting, maybe switching to Itch ?

jj-cruikshanks 2023-01-14 05:31

This is a game that you play when it's 12am, in a warm blanket and it's -15 outside, it's just so cozy! Took me a second to get used to the controls (playing on a trackpad), and the scrolling through the menu was hard without the mouse, but that's just a small nitpick. Music and atmosphere was great, and not sure if you guys made all the assets but they were awesome! Loved the game :) !

Very cozy game, I love the art style! The idea is unique and cute, I just love the idea that a dragon can cultivate a garden in the middle of an ice age! At first, I couldn't figure out how to melt the snow because I thought the hand item slot was fire! Anyways, I figured out that you needed carrots to melt the snow eventually. I really like the mood of this game, the music sets it on par along with the snow particles. Really solid entry.

very fun and simple, but in a good way! perfectly scoped for the jam. i liked the attention to graphics and the relaxing gameplay. nice job!

Lovely little quirky game with a magical atmosphere created by the graphics & music. The initial gameplay is a bit confusing like previously mentioned, but overall a solid coffee-break game, perfect for a jam and I can see there's a lot of possibilities to expand it in different directions~

Awesome work!

Lovely entry. Super art style and nice gameloop that was compelling and satisfying. I could not pick up radishes towards the end but other than that it was pretty awesome. KUDOS

A super cute little farming game, I found the mechanic of having to switch back to your hand a little confusing but after I got used to it this was a really pleasant experience. The graphics are awesome and the music and sound effects work really nicely to underline the general chill tone of the game. Well done!

Really nice, relaxing game! I had a lot of fun time with it. Some notes: 1. Would be nice to get a clear objective (even if it's just something like "clear up 80% of the snow on the screen"). I played around 10 minutes of the game and I really enjoyed it, but would've enjoyed it more if I knew I'm playing towards a specific goal. 2. Encountered some bugs (couldn't pick up the radishes at some points). See the video below for the examples. 3. Some interface choices made it hard to figure out how to play (e.g. it wasn't clear why you need to select a vegetable to be able to breath fire, and you need to select the fire icon to harvest vegetables). Nothing too critical, and once I figured it out it worked fine. 4. Loved the art and the music/audio for the game! Some audio cues were a bit confusing (e.g. when you try to harvest an empty spot it still makes the harvesting sound as if something is there).

Overall, really great entry!

Really relaxing game! It was so much fun to play! Just one note: I was close to melting all of the snow and planting all of the crops, but the game bugged and I was only able to collect tomatos, I couldn't pick up carrots or turnips :( Anyway, great job with the game!
