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!
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
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.
Thanks for the kind words :D
Really cute -and informational! The pixel art is really impressive, thanks for the fun time :)
I'm glad you enjoyed it, thanks so much!
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.
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)!
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
Thanks for the kind words, and glad you appreciated our two lil' seals :) would be nice to expand to more levels in the future!
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!
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
Thanks for the feedback and appreciation! We'll take that into account :)
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!
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
Glad you enjoyed the game, thanks for playing!
Awww really cute pushing the big seal with the little seal's nose!
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 :)
Ah yes, we should definitely make the restart mechanic more visible in later iterations. Thanks for checking us out!
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!!
This is so cute! I love all the pixel art. And the seal facts! Some of the story disappeared before I could read the whole thing - it would be nice if it waited for me to press a button to continue.
Ah thanks for the kind words and the feedback! Will try to fix that in a next version :)
Really adorable game, especially love how jiggly snowflakes walk (bounce) cycle is! And I learnt so many new seal facts :D
Such a cute concept and adorable artwork! <3
This is SOOO cute!!!! I love the concept and how each of them have their own abilities. the facts were super fun, too! i would do anything for snowball TT-TT
He a wholesome big boi, too pure for this world
Nice game, really liked those facts before each level! Too bad it was just 5 levels... Please consider to check our submission as well, much appreciated!
