This was a adorable!

Super cute artwork, clever puzzles with a really strong central mechanic and loved the inclusion of trivia between levels.

Wonderful game.

Love the game artsyle, so cute!

Developer

Thank you!!! :)

Really cute game! Nice use of the mechanics and different scales of the protagonists. I wish I had a sounds for Snowball’s roll and Snowflake’s flops/walk. Also, make sure to let the text longer on screen, or add a “continue” button please!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, those are good notes for us to iterate on. Thanks for checking us out!

Super cute game! I feel that the flavor text needs a little more time onscreen at the beginning and end, but that's just a nitpick. I love seals! (^_^)

Developer

Definitely noted, would be great to have it as "press button to continue" to give enough time to read. Thanks for checking us out!

I really loved the art! Cute seals melted my and my partner's heart. <3
Gameplay-wise, having the heart as a signifier of the character you're swapping to is clever and smart.
Super thumbs up!

Thanks so much! Happy that y'all liked it :D

I admit I have a soft spot for seals because they are my favorite animal, but even without taking that into account you guys did a really great job on everything and interpreted the jam theme in a creative, sweet and beautiful way. Thank you so much for this game!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the kind note, I'm glad that we did your favorite animal justice :)

Really nice take on the theme, the art and music were good too. The mindset behind the game is really clever 

Developer

Thanks for the appreciation! :)

I really liked both the atmospheric art and music, as well as the puzzles. The way the game integrates the Switch controls with the scale theme may seem simple, but it’s actually clever and very well executed.

Developer

Thanks for the kind words :D

Played on web. I couldn't get switching to work. Tried mashing the e key and every other key on keyboard but I was only ever controlling  snowflake.


Downloaded because I loved the artstyle too much to miss out and had a great time <3 I would die for snowball.

Developer(+1)

Hmm, sorry that you ran into technical difficulties with the web version, hopefully we can figure out what happened there in any future iterations. Thanks for checking us out (and for the Snowball love :3)!

Submitted(+1)

I’ve been smiling the whole time I was playing it! The game is cute, Snowflake’s movement animation and little “honks” are a delight, seeing Snowball just roll made me laugh, and the seal facts/puns throughout are a nice touch (though I didn’t read fast enough for the longer ones).

I was genuinely sad that the game ended, I would have loved to spend more time with those two but heh that’s game jams for you. It’s already impressive to get this many levels done in this time frame, so nice job! <3

Developer

Thanks for the kind words, and glad you appreciated our two lil' seals :) would be nice to expand to more levels in the future!

Submitted(+1)

Really fun and cute! Playing as characters of two different scales is a nice interpretation of the theme! I also found the art style very charming!

Developer

Thanks for the kind words! :D

This was a cute game!

Would be great to implement a quick-restart button and some audio feedback when you pull a lever

Developer

Thanks for the feedback and appreciation! We'll take that into account :)

Submitted(+1)

That was lovely! The duo really won me over!

Would have loved to see more level variation, maybe some small corridors in which the small seal was the only one that could pass through.

And props for the seal trivia and the seal puns! Thanks for working on this!

Developer

Thank you for the kind words and the suggestion, would love to incorporate that in future levels (maybe some narrowly-spaced air ducts)?

super cute and informative (๑ > ᴗ <๑)

Thanks for the high praise and the cute emoticon ;=;

the levels are really good, art is cute and narrative also sits really well

Developer

Glad you enjoyed the game, thanks for playing!

Awww really cute pushing the big seal with the little seal's nose!

Submitted(+1)

I loved it :) The animation was great and the levels were really fun

Love this!

I'm nitpicking here, but maybe something visual to know "Restart" is in the "Pause" menu, I got stuck on one level and had to hunt. And a sound when you flick the switch.

But a very cute art style. More please :)

Developer(+1)

Ah yes, we should definitely make the restart mechanic more visible in later iterations. Thanks for checking us out!

Submitted(+1)

super cute art style!! the way the seals move is so satisfying. The puzzles were interesting as well, reminds me of those 2 player platformer games like fireboy and watergirl. Great job!!
