A super fun little game! It took me a few play throughs to make it to the end, but that made it enjoyable because it meant it wasn't too easy to play. The uncovering snow aspect was really interesting and engaging. The thing that tripped me up was using the candy canes to restore health but that's probably because I wasn't being super attentive at the start and didn't realize your candy cane count maxes out at 10 so you need to pick them up strategically. Once I changed my strategy it got a lot better. 

Thanks for making this!!

Nooo died on level 11 :( Well done, the game is fun and even though it starts out easy it actually becomes a game about strategy later on.

We were a bit confused what exactly the rules were, for example some snowman gave candy cane and some didn't. We managed to make it to the last level but sadly didn't get to beat the game. Maybe we're just bad :p

It was a really fun game, especially around Christmas time! Easy enough to be played by anyone, but also has a lot of depth in the strategy required to make it through! Our whole family had fun with it! :)

This is a pretty fun game.  The gameplay is simple and easy to learn, and the art and sound/music make for a pleasant experience.  When I first started, I thought that the game was going to be overly simple and boring, but it turned out to be more complicated and strategic than I thought.  I guess you could say it was a pleasant surprise ;).  I noticed that a few others thought your game didn't fit the theme, but I personally felt like the surprise element of uncovering snow was an obvious application of the theme.  The only issue with the game is a lack of variety, but that comes with the time constraints of a game jam.  Overall, really well done!

This was pretty fun! The polygon art on the splash screen was really neat. Xmas is cancelled tho :(

Nice little game ! A more difficult level or mechanics would have been nice in my opinion. And the surprise component is missing I think. Anyway, nice idea !

I loved the concept for this - it's similar to minesweeper, but unique and interesting. It was a little confusing at first, but I got used to it quick enough. Good game!

This game was quite fun and one of the games that catched me to play.

Positive

  • I like the artstyle
  • The gameplay (even if its very basic :-) )

Badly I also have to mention one negative point: This game does not fit the theme, this is also the reason for just 2 Stars. Except from this I liked the game :-)

Thanks for the comment! The surprise is when you uncover the snow, you never know what you'll find :)
