Simple cute little game. Maybe a bit of feedback could be added when collecting/getting hit? Still, simple, effective, great job!

Fun little game! Felt like a gem I would find on Google Play. The visuals don't even feel like they're made from basic shapes. The only thing I could add is that the movement feels a bit slippery, but that might be your intention :)
Visually, the game looks nice, and the sounds effects are okay. I really like how it fits the theme and as cerpotypes said, the way the fire move is lovely. Though the controls get whacky sometimes, and the thing is, they only get whacky sometimes, so most of the times it works like normal, but suddenly it gets more slippery.
Nice entry!
I liked the enemies' tracking behaviour - the way they arc in your direction without running straight at you. Made for some very nice dodging!
Also cool how the more snowflakes you get, the safer you are in terms of time, but enemies also find it easier to hit you.
The game could benefit from a gradual difficulty increase, e.g. more / faster enemies, as I found them easier to dodge as I got more and more used to the controls. I say gradual because the enemies are quite large and, as stated above, there's modulation in difficulty anyway depending on how large your hit surface is -- so maybe like 2 enemies after 200 seconds or something?
Well done~!
Thank you for playing! π I did implement a feature that increases the difficulty over time, but unfortunately, I couldn't finish it before the jam deadline. I plan to submit this update after the jam ends.
As you guessed:
- 1 enemy appears for the first 60 seconds,
- 2 enemies after 300 seconds,
- and 3 enemies after 600 seconds.
Thank you for the feedback! π€
Most people went for "survive by staying warm" so I like the way you flipped the theme on its head.
Controls felt a little weird, especially the acceleration/deceleration.
Pretty fun overall tho! My high score was 180 points.
