Have you checked that your GDD is publicly accessible ?
Yes
Is your game set to public on itch.io so we can see it?
Yes
Summarise your game!
Use ASWD to control your character and mouse left click shoot acorns (click the Help Button on the main menu)
No other controls, no secret buttons, no pause menu, very simple.
There are secrets though ...
Collect acorns for HP and for fun!
Explore an icy landscape while searching for your children and wife!
Watch out for fire breathing monsters, and angry insects!
Please enjoy!
Please explain how your game fits the theme:
A meme of a squirrel with a gun was brought to the first meeting.
The rest is history!
The team was made up of first time game designers, graphic designers, and story tellers.
We poured our hearts into this and are really proud of what we were able to accomplish, while holding down full time jobs and a child.
We all actually wish to continue to develop the game after the game jam is completed.
You made indie developers out of us all in this group.
THANK YOU!
Is there anything you'd like the judges to pay particular attention to?
Feedback on level design (did you get lost in a way that did not make it fun?)
The details of the acorn interactions
What secrets did you find?
Did it put a smile on your face?

I couldn't find my mom, this is so sad.
This game is very cute and charming! Also has some clever level design. I feel like sounds would really help. Also, the art looks a little blurry, I think that could be fixed in your project by setting the image scaling to Nearest Neighbor (I'm pretty sure lol), though the blurriness sorta adds to the Christmas/Winter nostalgia vibe
Cover Art brought me here, i liked the sprites of the squirrel and the animations.
I think you would improve the game 100% if you would add some Soundeffects. Take a look at the Itch.io assets for free and put a few sounds into the game, there is good free music too!
nice wee game, maps is much bigger than expected. I found 2 other squirels but not the door they mentioned. smiley face out of acrons was cute. cover image is great
Thank you for playing Veggienator! Glad you found the game enjoyable! That message was there so that if you found the door, before the squirrels it was a hint that you had to go find something in the world! Did you find any secrets?
Nice! I liked the how it changed from the exploration segment to a big combat section at the end! Good job!
Thank you for playing nulture! Glad you had a great time with it!
Cool game with nice exploration aspect. Camera movement felt a little hard on the eyes. Short invincibility time after a hit would have been nice (would made the combat not as punishing). Otherwise very fun to play!
That is an excellent idea GamedevGoblin! Thank you for playing and excellent idea for a mechanic!
