I asked these questions on the discord channel too, so if you respond there, please ignore these =P
- Is there any kind of schedule for when the mods will be doing the preliminary judging round?
- Are they testing together? Surely they don't expect to get a good view of the games by joining solo...
- Will you use some kind of scoring to help rank all the entries? If so, it would be nice to see a list of the scores for each entry.
- How do you know that some of the entries aren't still being worked on and improved since the jam end date?
I hate to be a pain in the rear, but with real money on the line, questions like these matter =/
I really like the concept of this game, having to balance your attention between the 2 different aspects of the game was a good design choice. My only relevant criticism is that its pretty tough. Have you considered having a screen after losing that shows the questions that were asked and the players responses? It could add a bit of humor to the game for the players to know how poorly they were at conversing. It would also make it easier to progress in the game, as players would get familiar with the questions/answers faster.
As TP3 said, the risk/reward aspect is good as it adds a little bit of depth to a basic game. Have you thought about letting the squirrel jump so that he can reach a nut that would otherwise cause him to hit a snowflake if he waited for it? Also, after retrying, I still had 2 nuts on me from the previous game and it let me add them to my score. Anyway, great work, keep it up!
Late submission due to error uploading the game, but here you go (play in the browser):
