Short, fun and sweet game, would've liked to have sound effects enhance the experience a bit. I'm confused as to why you didn't use 3D GPUparticles or CPU particles for the snow and opted for a 2D solution over the screen. The controls were simple, I love coffee so you know I was gonna get on board from the get go to keep drinking, and the generation of new trees and obstacles was really well optimized and well done. Congrats on your game!
Thank you for playing and for your thoughtful feedback! You actually caught onto something interesting about the snow effects - we initially had a much larger GPU particle scene with quad mesh and snowflake materials that looked amazing. However, since we wanted the game to run smoothly in HTML5/web, we had to optimize heavily. We ended up using CPU particles for the snowfall while keeping GPU particles for the ski trails (both without shadows) to achieve that 2D aesthetic you noticed.
I thought the movement for the jump being quite punishing was good as it stopped you from moving mid air and made me plan ahead more. I think with a bit more variety or an increasing difficulty curve this could be quite a addictive little game. I thought the models were also good and consistently themed
Thanks for taking the time to play and share your thoughts! We're glad you appreciated the jumping mechanics - exactly what we were going for to encourage that strategic planning. Funny you mention the difficulty curve - that was actually in our original design plans but time got away from us during the jam! Really happy to hear the visual theme worked well for you too!
Very chill game. Almost too chill. I made it over 11000 before I let my skier freeze. I think you need some kind of goal or a mechanic that ramps up the difficulty as you move down. I'm guessing that was planned but time got in the way. You've got the framework just need a few more bits to take it to the next level. Art was good and the character was cute Good job!
Wow, 11,000 is impressive!!! thanks for giving it such a thorough playthrough! You're absolutely right about needing difficulty ramping and more engaging goals. Those features were definitely in our original design doc but had to be cut as we raced against the jam deadline. We also planned to implement a high score system, and with a score like yours, you'd likely be sitting at the top of that leaderboard! Really appreciate the detailed feedback and glad you enjoyed the art style and our little skier! Your suggestions align perfectly with where we'd want to take the game if we develop it further.
Very Cute game, simple and elegant, got a score of 3072 when I played. I love the music I feel like I could just vibe to it forever. I wish the coffee popped out more from the rest of the environment in some way just to make it easier to see.
Thanks so much for playing! A score of 3072 is great, and we're really happy you enjoyed the vibes. Really good point about the coffee visibility, making collectibles stand out better would definitely improve the gameplay experience. Thanks for the thoughtful feedback!"
I really like the moving mechanics on this game. Would have been great to have the speed and distance text nice and chunky. Also, make it increasingly difficult, and maybe have some time extenders.
Really good effort. Good job !
Thank you for playing and for the great feedback! The time extenders are actually already in the game! Those are the coffee cups you can collect! But your comment makes us think we could have made this mechanic more obvious to players. Love your suggestion about chunkier UI elements for speed and distance, that would definitely make the stats more satisfying to watch! Really appreciate the kind words!
Love the litttle guy, and the poses he does haha. Some jumps/ramps could be fun, and think the controls would feel great with some easing/lerping
Thanks! Really happy you enjoyed our skier's personality! Those poses were fun to make! Special thanks to Dagoon who did an amazing job with the player animations. They really brought the character to life!
Fun little game, love the graphics even though I think some fog and more visual effects would definitely make the atmosphere better, keep up the good work!
Thank you! Really appreciate the feedback about the fog and visual effects, that's a great suggestion that would definitely enhance the atmosphere. I completely agree about adding more effects! We actually had to keep them minimal to ensure a smooth experience when playing the HTML5/web version. Glad you enjoyed the game!
