Cute story and loved the mechanic. Wasn't sure how it ended, but it's a great well executed project! Here's a link to my playthrough... https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1716824445?t=02h45m43s
Thx for the link. Seing some live gameplay reactions is alway helpfull.
Glad it helps! Looking forward to playing your next game!
The game is really simple but really challenging at the same time! Great work! :D
I liked the progress videos for this game on discord! Fun game too, and man that snowman is a strong dude! Very original idea and good execution. I really like the waveform of the level. How did you do that, is I might ask? :)
Great interpretation of the theme. Well done!
Thx, I generated the level with just an array of points and 1d noise to set their height. And then used a line 2d to render it and a polygon 2d for collision. If you'd like more detail feel free to ask.
Since every little update you posted in discord I wanted to play your game. Thanks for this relaxing and cool experience. I like the concept of building yourself again and again and it fits so well with a snowman. It was so much fun to build the snow mans again and again. The level of polishing is very high. I like this little details you added e.g. when switching the snowman feels pretty cool with the visuals and the sound or when walking it has this slightly jumping. I think all in all the graphics, music, sound, control etc. went well. Good Job!!!
Thank you for the nice words.
How cute and cozy and well made. Great work!
Very pretty presentation! The little touches to transition through your animations are very good! The tutorial is a nice touch but could've used some more work, as it is a bit confusing. UX is really hard to nail, so I get it. Good game overall!
Thx, would have made a better tutorial if I had a bit more time.
A cute concept, with pretty art style and music. Sorta got confused at the start but I managed to evolve in general. Really clever with the "assembly" and "thermometer" mix.
Thank you, I maybe should have spend a bit more time on the tutorial.
An interesting concept, I liked it! Very nice graphical presentation, and the music fit well. Nice job on the tutorial images, but I still got a bit confused at the start, trying to hold down while rolling a ball and also making new small snowballs accidentally which got in my way.
Thank you, others also seemed to hold down. I can ssee why. I'll keep that in mind next time.
Cute! I enjoyed it. only one suggestion I can offer is to maybe disable pressing down while holding a snowball. I kept accidentally dropping a tiny snowball and then putting the bottom of my snowman on top.
Thx, yeah I sort of did that but it doesn't work very well.
Amazing job! I really enjoy this, I think it strikes a solid balance between arcade style gameplay and chill vibes. The visuals are on point, very expressive and readable while also sticking to the 4-color palette! The music is melancholic and non-intrusive, so it really suits the game well in my opinion. If I had a critique for this game, I believe that there could potentially be room for sound effects for rolling the snowballs, and maybe more fitting ones for the tik-tok noise when you switch bodies/are about to melt. This is more of a nitpik more than anything though.
Amazing submission, 5-stars!
Thank you so much for the nice words. I agree I could work some more on my sound effects.
The concept is supra neat and the execution is crisp, truly amazing
fun concept and physics going on!
The game came out great, I’m so impressed! It took me some time to figure out the snowman had to be the same size.
Thx, I should definitely have clarified that.
What a fun game! As someone who has yet to make a snowman in their life, this is helping to fill that craving. Thank you <3
Very cool concept, managed to get 400pt, such a fun little game, the audio is also very soothing, almost melancholic, stylistically very put well together. 5 stars from me.
Great concept I haven't seen before. I feel like it would be more fun as a toy than a game. Maybe it deserves a "chill" mode with no timelines or death mechanics for casual builders.
Thank you, I might consider adding that when I have time after the jam.
The visual are amazing, it’s outstanding what you managed to do with only a 4 color pallet!
It would be nice if the game had a counter of how many snowmen you were able to build.
There is a lot of charm in the game, congrats :).
Thx so much. snowman counter could be a good idea yeah.
as was mentioned, not sure why but the points remain at 0 no matter what i try.
but apart from this minor detail, this was lovely! very beautiful and original little jam game!
Thank you, points are based on how close your snowman is to the original. I should have clarified that.
fun game i didn't manage to actually get any points but was still fun to roll snow balls about :).
Thx, points are based on how close your snowman is to the original. I should have clarified that.
This was such a cute game! I really enjoyed the physics of rolling the snowballs - although I could play for way longer if there wasn't the death mechanic, as a cute chilled game :D
Ooh, thx, that might consider making that.
