Your average rank is #33 in GMTK 2025! Congrats!

Here is the link with all the rankings:

I felt bad that there is no average score, because some teams aimed for all categories, not just one. So I just scrapped the results page and made a table. I agree with "Mark" that "Overall" is questionable, but I still think "Average" is a valuable score, so I decided to share it.

Thank you for compiling this!

Oh that's baddd... in a GOOD WAY!

small notes: quick freeze option (instead of waiting for the loop to end)

Freeze UI indication - maybe it's better to place it on the character, where my eyes are looking at.


Great game!

Cool idea! It makes a lot more sense to have the freeze indicator on the character!

Incredibly fun! Love the art and the game idea is pretty fun!

so prettyyyy

Nice title and an interesting approach to the theme. I really liked the pressure created by the freezing mechanic -having to reach the right spot before turning into an icicle is definitely a concept worth exploring further! Sometimes, though, I wished there was a button to instantly freeze instead of having to wait :D Congratulations!

Really fun! Although, there was a lot of waiting, and while I know its just the fault of a physics based game, I almost got stuck on the see saw section. since the bodies piled up on the other side and nearly soft-locked me, but fell down eventually. Wish there was more, fun art, and the music definitely gave the game a vibe of some sort, although I can't really put my finger on it.

This game gives a feeling of peace. Easy and fast levels. It's fun to play.
People write that you need to add an auto-call blizzard, but I think that's the point of the game.

One of the best takes on this game mechanic, I loved the character design and the artstyle. It was super cute. Good job!

I really enjoyed the running animation :) And overall, the game is fantastic. I had a great time playing it, and the extra twist on the loop theme at the very end was a pleasant surprise!

This was a surprisingly fun game, and I enjoyed the freezing mechanism. My one suggestion is to add a way to make the blizzard come when you press a key, so you don't have to wait there for a while for the blizzard to come. Overall, great game though, and it was creative, the ending was great!

Really unique artstyle!

Only real gripes with the game are not having a way to quicken the blizzard, and that some camera positions were a bit weird...

Overall fun game!

Very beautiful! Very nice mechanic!

Only nitpick is restarting can feel tedious, good job otherwise!

I like the art style.

Sometimes juggling the frozen bodies was a bit finnicky, but other than that great game!

cool (get it?)

The art on this one was insane. I could look at this all day, who did the images? Do they have a Instagram? I could honestly look at it all day! The rest of the game was also incredibly tight and well polished. I do wish there was an auto freeze mechanic and, the part where you have to keep jumping off a piling up at the bottom, I wish there was better way to understand what was going on as I kinda felt like I was just throwing myself in blind faith over the edge again and again. That said, this game was beautiful; from the concept to it's realisation. Top marks!

Has a nostalgic feel with the lovely cartoon artstyle! Concept is simple yet entertaining and the ending is cherry on top!

Submitted(+2)

This reminds me of that old style of Flash game made with Box2D, love it! Ending was a fun gag

Submitted(+2)

such a cute game, love the concept and the artstyle! I really liked the moments where you have to run quickly as possible to the checkpoint before you freeze to death again
