It's a relaxing game which showed me I can't write :D I didn't get that I have to start from a specific place in a first doggo level. However, the idea is interesting and execution stylish.

Connecting ColumnsWhat a fantastic use of the theme with such charming aesthetics. My only critique would be it feels a tad slow paced when the word is drawn back for you but otherwise a great submission. Cheers!

Shroud Pawgreat use of the theme and cute way of framing the mechanic. I think this could be great as an educational game for children.

Sleep, the blackbirdIt's really a great concept and fun game to play. I really like the idea of writing in the snow. my comment would be an improvement in
- dog and squirrel AI, It would be better if their route is in the words that you gonna write to give more difficulty rather than randomize
- The word is stylish, but because the area of character movement is big, it creates a big gap between the stylish and the result.
But overall it's quite good. I really like the dialogue and characters. especially the song !!!
This is great, I love the concept! I feel the judging takes a little bit long to complete, it'd be nice to have the option to speed through the judging of the work at the end. But I love how you add new challenges as the game goes on, such as the dog being an obstacle! Awesome stuff all around!

Bot-sa NovaNot what I imagined when I heard "writing in the snow". Could stand to be faster when grading you but what's here is very creative and very impressive.

Help! I'm Covered in Glue!XD? The idea is interesting, I did not expect a game of writing cursive, I like the twist of the dog if you had done more levels with the dog it would be great since it adds more difficulty, it is a great game :D

Rolling BuilderNot very fun when you already know cursive, but it's a good idea!

Ketchup and Mustard!This seems programmatically really impressive. Idk how the hell you made the cursive checking system work but I'm betting it was a pain. Art is really good. Biggest surprise was the narrative. It was simple but really effective, not something I've seen much in these jam games.

Last StopThank you for playing! And yes it was a pain haha, took sometimes before I was confident to say it works to the team. Basically trace the word with a spline curve and take the closest snow path at every defined length of the curve. The further the snow path, the less your score. I did that for multiple points per word and get the average. Would try to improve on the algorithms after the jam.
