Really neat and fun game. Being able to pick up snowballs super fast and throw them far away is really fun. The effect of noise propagating as you jump around looks great and is really helpful for gameplay. Also the tree is really cute with its little eyes. The billboard being an interactive main menu is also a nice touch.
Glad you had fun and thanks for playing!
A splendid game to play! I was remarkably surprised at the implementation of the bulletin board; I had almost more fun looking through it than the game, which was well-polished and enjoyable by itself. Well done everyone!
Thanks! We're going to put in a fix for the postcards later today after voting is over. We didn't realize you couldn't flip over any of the postcards from previous days until it was too late to get a fix in. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Lovely game! The art style is so cute and the concept is very unique. The festive atmosphere is top notch. 10/10 entry :-)
I'm glad you had fun. Thanks for playing!
Delightful game - the dynamic music, the little effect when you're behind things, the overall look, wow. The postcards at the start are so cute too. I don't even have all that much useful to say, it's extremely polished and well executed, the visuals and art are so nice, the music is too, the gameplay is super well executed - snowballs might be a bit too powerful, but honestly I'd rather have some wiggle room to make mistakes. Also it's just super cute, that spruce is adorable. Easily in my personal top 3 at least, congratulations on the great game!
Thank you! We're going to update the game sometime later today so that you can actually see the backs of all of the postcards. We didn't realize you could only flip over the current one until day 2 of voting, and by then it was too late to get a fix in. Glad you enjoyed it!
