This game was very cozy! I did not get it at first, but it turns out I was roasting a marshmallow and could not do anything else XD! And like the other person said, the cat takes too long to wake up, but ig that's cats for you. Also if you don't have any logs, and can only eat marshmallows to warm up you freeze faster than you can warm up.
yeah the gameplay loop requires you to collect logs from the trees. And as for the roasting of marshmallows, It was intentional to not allow any other interaction during that because that would break the game
Thanks for the feedback
Stunning! This is perfect given the time frame, and both a lovely idea and a lovely execution.
I would really enjoy if you added more decorations and a little more open-endedness, this is a fun experience that I think is worthwhile :)
I do have a few minor notes in case you do want to keep working on it, but it really is great as is...
1. I was a bit confused on why I couldn't leave before realizing you can't leave while roasting a marshmellow
2. I didn't understand quite how roasting marshmellows works right away, and it took me about 4 minutes to understand that you can roast them faster with a bigger fire
3. Fishing was not immediately intuitive; I lost a couple before realizing all you had to do was click the rod while the fish is in the green area.
4. I'm not exactly sure how warmth works; I know that eating a fully roasted marshmellow works, but it seems like I got big increases (even bigger than from eating a marshmellow) at other times that I couldn't explain, but was very thankful for...
Thanks for the feedback! The things which you stated in the notes were on my mind aswell but i was not able to think of a intuitive way to show those things like the marshmallow, fishing guide , etc as spamming text like " You cannot do X while X etc" would have been redundant and an information overload on the player. If you have any suggestions on how i should display that , feel free to let us know!
A very relaxing game. I'm not sure I really understood the weather mechanic, but it certainly looks nice :D
Thank you ! The weather impacted stuff like time to spawn fish , and chops needed to cut a tree and like yield of log and fish but i didnt have enough time to explain the impacts of the weather.
The best game ambiance, the music fits the art style 500%, I felt like I was really there. Only the cat just won’t wake up 😄 also i noticed a bug with the campfire, if you click on it without having a log, you can’t exit to outside, or this bug was only on me?
Thank you so much ! As for the bug in which if you 0 logs and you try to click on the campfire , I am not getting that bug even though i tried it a lot of times. Might be a rare bug tho :p
PS: its not a bug , it was a mechanic in which it wont let you outside if your cold meter is low so you need to eat marshmallows or warm urself up to a certain point in which it allows you to go outside. Hope that helps!
i really like it, maybe the best game in jam, cool art
Thank you for your kind comments , appreciate it a lot
