Super fun! Loved the gameplay, loved the story in between the levels! The seals were really stressful for me& once the winter came it was over for me xD but it's still a really cool game!

Love this game! The style, theme and gameplay work together perfectly.

The presentation and story telling in this is actually beautiful, like it's a really simple story but it still moved me which is something I would never expect from a game made in three days and the desolate and bleak atmosphere fits well with it. 

A minor nitpick I have with the game play is that I wished movement inputs were buffered, it feels frustrating to press a button to quickly move out the way of a seal only for the input to get eaten and then the seal to hit you. 

But other than that the quality of this is incredibly impressive for the time scale

Simple idea, perfect realisation🔥

Loved the story interwoven between puzzles! Felt much more impactful to me to have the story included.

As for the puzzles, I wasn’t a super big fan of the seals as they became a timing problem, rather than a logic problem for the puzzles. Just a matter of personal preference and I’m sure there are many players that like having both in the puzzle. I would maybe have the seals move one tile for every tile that Icylo moved, then it would be predictable and require a little bit more thinking on the player’s part. Definitely would make the puzzle design harder though.

Overall, really great game. I played all the way to the end and really enjoyed every step of the way.

Yeah you definitely have a point here. I was debating doing exactly that, movement based on the player's movement, but in the end I chose for this :]
Glad you enjoyed it!!

This game is really good! It took me a while to puzzle out some of these levels. And the graphics are so cute!

CUTE! I'm getting ice cream and wondering why they didnt put spikes or seals in the ice-type gyms :)
