I liked the graphics, the music and overall mood of the game. Although reading this font was a challenge 😅
Liked the concept, art and music. Other sounds and the font could use a bit of changing. Still, good job! :)
Very nice game, had a good time playing it! It was a bit laggy/buggy at some points but overall very nice! (ps, is there some sort of point where you can win the game?)
Nice concept, setting and mood. I did enjoy playing it and reading everything. I wasn't really good at managing the lives of the characters, but that's more of a me-problem xD
Pretty good project. Graphics and music are nice, but book menu opening is too annoying, maybe it should be opened/closed by click rather than hovering over it?
The font is quite unreadable, but the concept and the art are nice
Limited space and shelter combined ! Well done. I agree, the font is hard to read. The concept is really good tho.
Solid game! Playing it in the browser gave me a couple of long freezes on certain events. The font is a bad choice, apart from the the graphics and style work really well! Good job!
the art work is really good a good scope so not much I can think of to add reminds me of 60 seconds which I really liked good game :)
Okay, this is actually really fun. I like the concept, art, music and the development. It's all very well thought through, you can see that. There are a few bugs (like in every other game too). Some long freezes in the browser. Plus, it would be nice If you could cancel an action for the characters. I don't know why, but sometimes it just chooses "Gather wood", because it's the first thing my mouse is on, even If I don't click [Update: a little bit later: If you hold the mouse button down and choose your action with releasing the mouse, this doesn't occure]. This is one of the few games, I would genuinely play in my free time for more than just 2 hours[and already did]. I love this! It also fits the theme excellently.
Hello to everyone of you! We thank you a lot for the positive feedback and our team would enjoy to improve our game. Please stay with us and enjoy playing the updated versions. There will be small patches coming soon, but major patches including more characters and far deeper mechanics are currently discussed. Thank you for your support! Your comments and feedback keep us motivated! So be sure to follow our progress if you want to see more of the game :) We will also try to announce (major!) Patches on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/frozenshelter_ld54/
@aes1 I sadly don't know 60 Seconds, but it sounds like it's a good thing. Thank you very much!
@picster @flancon @luc-magitem @mrpig @yrlshchk The font was ment to be a handwritting, but we agree that it's not very readable. We heard you! It will be adjusted soon, so everyone enjoys reading the backstorys :)
@waded In the dark future there is sadly no win condition, only surviving till the end... we would like to implement a highscore and choicestatistics tho!
@sparkleypie It it's a you problem its also a me problem. And you are right! It's not very well balanced yet, due to many features on our to do list. The characters will become much more unique and therefore make it easier (or harder...) to survive!
@julia-babadshanow Thank you very much! Your playtime is the biggest compliment to us. The task choice is a hot topic to us and will be adressed very soon! We hope you will follow our game and come back to play the updated verion!
I am really glad I found and tried this game! I don’t typically play games like this but the artwork brought me in…I liked how it was turn based, I like how different characters had personalities and backstory, and again the art was really nice and brought you into this world, also the gameplay loop was good. It reminds me of an apocalyptic Oregon Trail. I think any of the gripes I’d have with this game is because you guys didn’t have more time, I would’ve liked to know who wanted to join my party before saying yes, and obviously more events. I bookmarked this page and will try to follow you guys to see if you continue making this game, like I said, I had fun and glad I played it.
I couldn't play the game - my browser ironically freezes after less than one minute in game.
@beeb-gamecodecompany Thank you for your kind words! You will certainly be able to decide who can join your shelter soon! The characters are ment to be even more diverse by then and deciding who is allowed to join your shelter, who may live or die is ment to be a core mechanic. Thanks for your follow!:)
@a-bond hello! We are sorry that our game let you down. Are you using a mac? It seems like godot has problems to run on a mac. Aside of that our current version can be quite laggy, it's possible that you just had to wait a little. Especially at the turn change it sometimes takes about half a minute :( Maybe you want to give it another try? Good luck :)
The art is very beautiful
@nomiki
> Are you using a mac?
Nope. I'm using Windows with Brave browser.
> It seems like godot has problems to run on a mac.
Almost everything that runs in browser has problems on mac. But yes, godot has additional problems even with native export to mac os. In my previous game physics didn't work correctly (but in one scene only) on mac.
> Aside of that our current version can be quite laggy, it’s possible that you just had to wait a little. Especially at the turn change it sometimes takes about half a minute
If that's it then I have to say that it's quite a impressive lags for this kind of game.
Anyway, I think native binaries woud improve accesibility of the game.
@a-bond Yeah, it sometimes feels laggy for such kind of game. Our programmer believes it's a problem with rescaled textboxes in godot, it's hopefully just connected to the little time and will be optimized sooner or later.
I liked the game interesting gameplay
I'm grateful that you didn't let the short deadline stop you from making a fun and engaging game. Keep making games
