This was a fun entry! I'm honestly not very good at normal sokoban, but this had a fun twist on that ruleset. I have only two main complaints that compounded on each other and led to me not finishing the game- first, is that it's really hard to compare snowball sizes. If I'm looking at two static snowballs it's fine, but I had a lot of trouble with things like "If I push this snowball three spaces, will it be bigger than this other snowball? Considering snowball size is such an important part of victory in this game, that really held me back from solving puzzles. The other big issue I had was the lack of an undo system- and I get it. It's kind of a daunting thing to add in a game jam game. But between being unable to tell the exact size of each snowball and having to restart after every mistake, I found it hard to play more than a handful of puzzles. Still I appreciated the twists I did see- the fire was a fun dual-purpose puzzle mechanic, and I think the puzzles were well designed. I think this game has a lot of potential once some of the quality of life issues are fixed!

Thank you so much for playing! Honestly, you confirmed the two main concerns I had when submitting the game, but just couldn’t resolve because of the time constraints of the jam. If I decide to keep working on this, the undo system will definitely be the highest priority item, and a close second will be alternative indicators to better know exactly how big each snowball is and is going to be. Thank you so much for taking the time to play and leave feedback! I really appreciate it :)
