- The game's pretty fun, but some times it feels like the UI is in a weird spot. Overall, great use of the prerequisite and theme and the graphics are great. Otherwise, great job!

Great mechanics and concept!!I love the artstyle and the difficulty! The random generation makes it even harder. This is definitely gonna be challenging to the speedrunners lol! Great mechanics and concept!!
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it! The game became harder than I planned in the beginning, relying a lot on luck, but I guess the increase in the challenge is good too.
Nice idea and pixelart . I often don't get past one house though, because the next spawns too far away :(. It also seems that as soon as I get warm in a house, I immediately start to get cold again. Maybe you had a reason to set it this way, but it doesn't make much logical sense to me --if you go in a warm house IRL, the heat's not going to turn off as soon as you're warm :) -- and makes it harder if you have to jump up midgame.
Thank you for playing!
I wanted to make a better system to spawn the houses at a certain distance, but I didn't have time, so I ended up doing it almost randomly, sadly.
And initially, my idea was that a snowstorm would follow the player and freeze the houses too. But in the end, I simplified things and opted to make houses warm just a fraction of the total bar, so the game remains more challenging.
You're welcome, and that makes sense. We did only have two days to develop.
Interesting design with great potential, perhaps adding more props would be even better
There is a problem with the display, there is a blue semi transparent square in the upper left corner
Thank you for your feedback!
I've increased the chance of generating props, making the game more challenging and enjoyable. I appreciate your suggestion.
And yeah, I noticed that in some screen resolutions, the page crashes. I've added an alert that the user may need to resize the screen.
