Interesting game, fun graphics and animations. It might need a bit more polish on the gameplay side, I think there was a guard stuck in the middle of the level so I got caught instantly. It also wasn't completely clear whether it was possible to go beyond the fences? Or is the level just really small? Anyway, I liked the concpept of having to do tricks to become more poluar, I just wish there was more snowboarding. Hope you work on this some more after the jam! Thanks for participating!

Nice game, i've enjoyed gameplay and story of your game. Christmas vibes are here, so i'm happy to play in it!

I wanna invite you to play in my game or maybe even rate it, yeah, welcome here: https://itch.io/jam/cozy-winter-jam-2023/rate/2429047

I'd really appreciated this!

Ohmigosh CUTE. I love seeing another game with a penguin protagonist! Your penguin is adorable, and I loved the art style in your game. Wintery vibes were perfect, and your opening cut scene was great. 

For the gameplay aspect, I found it easy to learn the controls, but I wasn't able to ski very far, because I ran into a little fence I couldn't get over. This felt like it undercut the skiing mechanic, which seemed like it would have been a lot of fun (loved your particle effects, too). I also wasn't able to go very fast in the area I *could* ski, because I'd run into a zookeeper too quickly to be able to switch into my disguise. 

You've already got such a solid look and feel for this game, so I think with some adjustments to gameplay and the area available to ski, it would be tons of fun. I hope to see an update :) Good work!

I thought the art of this game was really nice. I loved the style of the main menu! Excellent idea and execution there!

I thought the over all idea was solid. I liked the idea of having to put on a disguise for when the bad guys came walking by.

Several issues though… I found that when I put on one item then switched to another, there would be a glitch. For instance, I would put on the disguise, then switch to my snowboard. Mechanically, the game switched to my snowboard, but graphically, the animation stopped after taking off the disguise. It felt very weird.

Additionally, when I failed the level (got caught) and the level restarted, the bad guys was always right there at the start, instantly failing the level on me. To be able to try the game again, I had to reload the web page and the game just to try again.

Lastly, while I could see this games potential, I got caught, really early on, it felt, by a fence post that would not let me past it. Perhaps that was the end of the map? If it was, the made the map very short. If not, they I couldn’t figure out how to get past it, which was a bummer.

Over all, I like the vibe of this game, loved the menu style, and think this could be a very neat game, but it just wasn’t there for me.

If you’re interested, I streamed some gameplay recently.

it's a little hard to get over the fence, but the game is really pretty and cute.

The game is very cute. I like how people appear in the foreground when you do tricks. It seems jumping without using the ski gains you points too, which is weird. I had fun. Great game.

For the future players: the fence is meant to block the player!

The game was very cute and I loved the idea but I was not able to get over the fence.

I'm assuming the goal was to increase popularity? If so, the fence at end to block the penguin is misleading and gives vibe to the player that "they need to pass through the fence."

Nice and polished looking game. The only thing is that I couldn't go past one of the things there and I couod spam the jump button and get infinite points.

Lovely art style but couldnt pass throught the first fence so i really couldnt play. How did you do the main menu ? can i contact you if you have discord?

I love the art style and the story, and there's so much potential here! Currently, you're able to ramp up your score by mashing space -- even with the disguise equipped.

Are you suppose to just be in the middle and spam space  making 250 flips  and pressing q when the guy comes, or am I missing something?

I dont know how get get over the first fence at the start :( 
But i like the cute artstyle and that you can hide from zookeper with a mask is funny :D 

Fun game!
