I loved the snowball mechanic you made to get larger/smaller, and how well your levels made use of that. It was so satisfying to throw the little snowballs, I think partly because of your sound effects. The controls felt really good, too. Unfortunately I got stuck in the second level I believe, couldn't seem to jump high enough to get anywhere else. Looking at others' comments I guess I missed a wall jump ability. Adding some signposting to let players know that exists would defs be helpful. I think there's lots of potential to update this one - you've got a really solid look and feel here already. Nice work!
Yo
Such a good challenging and also engaging game, i've enjoyed gameplay and story of your game. I've become a little bit addictive of playing in this! Christmas vibes are here, so i'm happy to play in it!
Btw, if u have a desire to play in my game or maybe even rate it, welcome here: https://itch.io/jam/cozy-winter-jam-2023/rate/2429047
I'd really appreciated this!
The game is challenging, but not too frustrating. I won't even know that I can wall jump if I didn't read the others' comments. It's hard to see the ground when you jump up high. I like how snowballs changes the snowman size and jump height, which make traversing back and forth in a stage feel not boring at all. It would be nice if the BGM looped. I like how the game looks, especially the snowman's animation. Great game.
Very cool little game, quite hard sometimes but I really liked the snowball mechanism that changes the control of our character!
Very cool concept it's really unique and the cutscene at the start is great :D. Definitely fits the theme. I did get a bit confused on how to throw a snowball but then I read the description.
This game got a decent pixel graphic.
The music is nice. a chilly lofi piano sounds great, but it doesn't loop though
The gameplay revolve around taking advantage of the ability difference between your size.
This can create an interesting puzzle if the game is longer.
One of the blockage for player is the second stage where you're supposed to wall jump off the edge of the wall because there's absolutely no clue you can do that. (I only know from comments)
I'm not sure why you don't use same the sign to you used to tell the player everything else but not this particular part.
The third stage, you have to jump across pole, the difficulty curve is vertical here.
Due to the fact that the that you have to precisely throw a snowball, and one miss meant reset
and also how the camera would make it difficult to see the ground you're going to land.
But the checkpoint is near enough that it is not too frustrating.
It is fun though.
Very cut and fun... for a while. I couldn't get past the part with the poles/tree tops. It didn't even seem like I could make the last jump. Seemed movement was just a little too fast for jumps so precise. Great entry!
really cute and cozy game. I loved the snowman animations. I could not get past the second level tho (not sure if I was missing something)
Thank you for your comment! yeah actually i thought i make it easy but a lot of people couldnt make the second level :(
Really like the art style of this! Having to throw snowballs to put out torches and having the snowman shrink and grow was a neat idea. I had trouble getting past the second level, I'm not sure if I missed a snowball or what. Good game! :)
Thank you for your comment! yeah actually i thought i make it easy but a lot of people couldnt make the second level :(
Really great game. The art is nice and festive and the animation really brings it to life. The controls are pretty solid, jumping around felt great once I figured out how everything worked. I was a little frustrated by the last section (jumping from the treetops), I felt like that was a little too difficult, but once I got it the first time it was a lot easier the second time around. Really great job on this all around.
Thank you so much! Im glad that you enjoyed!
I loved the concept and implementation. Very well done game all around! Tutorial was a bit wonky because it didnt tell me it was w to jump and e to throw until after i had to do both of those things.
Thank you!! Sorry for the tutorial level :D
The mechanics here are all pretty solid and I think you could do a lot with them! The movement felt a little off to me, especially trying to precisely control jumps when you get sped up. I didn't realize you could climb/walljump until I read these comments either. Overall enjoyed it and made it to the end :)
Thank you so much! Yeah I need a lot of level designs with these mechanics :D
The mechanics of the snowman, who gets bigger by accumulating snow but has to let go of it to get through, work well. Bravo
Thank you!
Good gameplay ideas, couldn't figure out how to get past the second level though xD
I wish i could make the level design more obvious :D Thank you tho!
I'm so bad at the game haha. Nice one
Thank you! hahaha
In general, the game was fun. The art was good but I think a winter themed background could've made it 10x times prettier. The music was good and the sound effects were well chosen. Programming wise, the collision was really weird, I often got some iceballs stuck on the ground and it wasn't clear that you could hop on walls, that should've been made clearer. The tutorial with the plates at the beginning was clever, however, the fact that the player can move really fast makes it so it easily gets ignored. On a further note, I wouldf just like to say that it happened to me a few times that I wanted to press E and ended up pressing R and resetting the game, I think you could make the reset key further from the throwing key. Last but not least, you should have added a skip cutscene at the beginning, the game clearly has good speedrunning vibes, but the cutscene kinda ruins it. Good game overall, good job and congratulations for your submission!
Yeah, I really tried to do parallax background and I failed. I’m really glad that you told me all the negative and positive things about the game. Actually I couldn’t manage the time, I wish I could and fix all of them. You can be sure I will fix all of it and trying to make it a good cozy game. Thank you So much!
I liked the game a ton, however the parkour controls are incredibly hard right now, the controls are too floaty in the air to control precisely. Also I think the explanation what to do and where to go could be improved (the sign telling me to throw snow by pressing "e" was after the first torch...). The art was really cool tho, I loved the scarf falling when you hit a torch.
Thank you so much! Yeah i saw the sign thing after i sent the game…
I got past the second level but I don't think the fact that you could wall jump or jump on edges was well communicated. Also there is some weird collision and background issues you can easily get your snowballs stuck in the ground or walls but that's just a small polish thing. Would have been nice if the snowballs shot out where your mouse was aiming for the torch jump section. I really enjoyed the story it was funny the overall game was good just needed better presentation and polish.
Thank you for your feedback! I will add the mouse aim for the next updates :)
That's an interesting mechanic, but I'm stuck... How do I clear the second stage?
You have one Snowball for the first torch, then you should go under to collect other ones. then you can go out again and you should climb to the top from left, easy peasy!
Do I need to climb there? Should I collect more snowballs?
yep, exactly right there. it should be reachable there
Great idea and cute movement.
Good Job :)
Thank you :)
