Game Description
A small but fun little shovelling game
How does your game tie into the theme?
It ties into the theme because the snow eventually gets so fast that he is overwhelmed and overloaded with the amount of snow.

Where is the puppy ? :( I love this animations, models and general aesthetic.
Nice simple game with upgrades. But when boy move too close to mouse, he moves very weirdly around. Also, some upgrades are even worse than ordinary shovel, having pickup range too far away from boy, not allowing to pick up snow nearby
Nice job it feels like a finished, cute and polished experience. I hoped the theme would have been more important in the game tho.
Cool game but I want to see my puppy I worked so hard mom!
In this game, you move a character forward towards your cursor, and regret buying the snowblower.
I think I could have gone through without upgrading (might even be kind of the point), but if I didn't, I wouldn't have gotten to experience the snowblower. Thing plays like a Reach Weapon in DnD. Keep upgrading it, though, and you get the semiautowin tech.
Not bad as a solo newcomer. As you continue to jam, you'll see yourself shooting higher as you learn more and more about Godot.
Oh I loved this one! Nicely done. I kinda wish the dialogue changed a little though - I felt like the "vibe" of the game had a lot of space for you to add some funny lines or jokes in between the levels. Otherwise great submission, I had a lot of fun and was smiling ear to ear the whole time. Super charming.
Nice job! I completed the game, I did feel it could have been a bit more difficult, but overall, great job!
nice and finished game! GJ :)
Nice game, I completed it and got my puppy! I enjoyed the upgrades as the game went on but felt it could have got a bit harder to challenge me more rather than less as the game went on. Fun game to break up some of the bigger games, can see myself coming back and playing through it again!
I got the puppy!
Nice job.
I agree with Philos that I would have liked to se the theme have more influence but you made a fun game that I enjoyed playing. First game of this jam that I actually finished.
The purple snowblower was a pain! Way to big for that tiny driveway... just like my neighbours!
Really well done.
Man, I hated that mom... but eventually all the hard work paid up :D Now there is enough money for all the puppies alive.
I hoped the theme would have been a little more influential on the gameplay side, though. But your game made me laugh and enjoy it somehow, good job.
