Hey! excellent submission, perfectly playable start to finish. A bit of feedback, it could really do with some sort of tell that i've hit an enemy, on my first encounter with a snowman, i shot it a few times, and didn't notice the health bar change, I assumed I couldn't hurt them until they were inside the campfire, and it took me several snowman to realize i was wrong! maybe a sound effect, or killing the projectile on impact, or perhaps even just pushing the snowmen back slightly, would help with the feeling of impact. Other than that, It wasn't immediately clear to me where "It Spreads" fit in here, until I had finished the game, and went back and read the description, it makes sense when its explained to me, but it wasn't immediately obvious. I really enjoyed the primary mechanic here of finding wood and using the fire, I fed a fire near the end all my remaining wood and was impressed with just how large the radius could get! All around good work guys!

Thank you for getting everyone to the jam. That was a fun experiment!

The game works but could lag/be unresponsive during the initial load in a browser(some browsers do not like shaders 😅)

I like the style, and the gameplay is also working okay. The only thing I noticed is that the music does not loop, or start again after ending. It also could use some more sound FX, but apart from that it is a pretty solid game.

I also found it hard to get wood after 3 or 4 campfires but was surprised to see that I can refill my heat even if I don't put wood on the campfires. It was pretty easy after that :)

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it! It's a small prototype with its own ~~bugs~~ unintended features :)

We probably need to nudge the player out of the minimized warmth zone, I think enemy spawn or no/less warmth from min fire could do the trick

Thank you! Yeah, levels/puzzles of different complexity can be added just by combining map, frost and snowmen with different abilities. Although, it will require iterations on enemy types and complexity params 😅
