Really fun game, and a lovely level design. I tried to use the controller controls, but the right trigger didn't seem to work :(, but the keyboard controls were straight forward! I really like the extra detail of you mowing the grass if you go over it again haha. Great game!

Thanks for your time and feedback! I regrettably didn't test out controller too heavily on the HTML version, but I did notice that the right trigger sometimes did and didn't work for me as well after submitting, something for me to look into for next time! I'm glad you enjoyed some aggressive de-thatching ;)
A nice, relaxing idea. It took me a second to get used to the controls, but in the end I got it! I instinctively went for a solution which would have allowed the car to reach the end of the drive without worrying about clearing all of the snow, but I think the game is striving for completion over efficiency? Overall, I think it is a neat interpretation of the theme.

Archival OblivionI really like the concept and the execution is solid. The controls are intuitive and the feedback for where snow goes, the ice, revealing the ground, etc. all very well done. It can be a bit difficult to see the direction of the chute before throwing snow. I think the balance between rewarding efficiency and needing to intuit/discover where to remove snow is complicated and feels overly punishing as is stands right now. But, it did get me to spend the most time playing this entry (so far). Excellent job!

SnowThanks for taking the time to play and leave this great feedback! I do agree that the chute could benefit from either a clearer sprite or an additional HUD element to indicate it's direction for clarity. Admittedly, my pre-submission playtesters were all New Englanders, and after watching others play and gathering feedback I see now that I was in a bit of a New Englander-snow-experienced bubble! Balancing the "passing" threshold as well as the ability to discern locations to clear is high up on my list to address going forward. Thanks again for your time and all your feedback!
Was nice, I like the soundtrack - I saw from #gwp-wip

Jason Drawn - Never Stationery!Thanks for taking the time to play! I really enjoyed these two songs and I was fortunate in my searches to have found them as I felt they fit really well.
This is one of those games on stream where I was like "I have to play that". As somebody who grew up in the midwest, USA, I've been the person to snowblow my driveway (and honestly it was just fun to shovel things too) and it's just a good time! This game perfectly captured that feeling for me, and although, yes, it could have been a little clearer to see what area you need to clean up, I thoroughly enjoyed it and especially liked the little jankyness where you could just blow snow onto the buildings and cars. I thought the snow piles were a great touch too! Super effective presentation especially with the story in between. Great job!

erase me.Thank you for your time and your feedback I really appreciate it! I'm glad you felt it captured the experience well as that's what I was shooting for - inspired by the recent weather we've had up in the north east! Had I more time I wanted to add sprites for the snow piling up on the cars/buildings for a little bit of a laugh but that didn't quite make the cut! Thanks again for your feedback and kind words!
Took me a while to figure out that i only had to clear the roads, not the entire map, I was like wtf how long do these levels take.
I would make it so you can find out if you have cleared enough of the level to finish it without ending the level and restarting (maybe like a little ui) as I did that a couple times and its annoying to have to start over.
I like the effect when you hit a tree and how you can double mow and fk up peoples lawns.

Whiteboard WarriorsI enjoyed this! We did a Lawn Mowing game, so very similar brain waves for "Erase!"
