I couldn't finish it because the game froze


You probably did finish the game (can't see gift meter so can't say for sure), but the gamejam version unfortunately contains a bug that crashes the game upon winning. We're gonna push out the version with the fix, but for now, consider yourself a winner :)

This is brilliant! Highly impressive for this amount of time and it is almost exactly the game I wanted to make in my first Jam and did know how. Great work!

Absolutely incredible game in such a short time frame, insane work from the team, you should all be very proud of yourselves! It's gotta be my favorite in the whole jam. Everything is super polished; the vignette, the snow particles blowing in the wind, the unique sfx for each interaction, etc. So many little details that add up to an amazing scene. Easily 5/5 on presentation. The music is also a bop and doesn't get old after the last 20 minutes of playing (I'm going back to finish the game after this comment, its so fun xD). The gameplay loop is great. Clicker + TD + solo combat vs the penguins, there is always something do to and the management of everything is quite engaging. And the automating stuff to upgrade other stuff is always fun as hell. Idk I don't really have any criticisms. Incredible entry, has the quality off a game made in 2 weeks not 2 days, great job team!!


edit: I thought of a criticism, keyboard shortcuts for the build and upgrade buttons would be better than having to click them with mouse. Very minor thing

Thank you for your comment. I'm happy you are satisfied with the music. I always have some doubts when working on it, but in the end, when I hear my creation in the game, then I kinda like it.

Also, we just released a new, post-jam update to our game, with some fixes and enchancements we wanted to have earlier, but didn't have time for them. It includes the shortcuts you mention.

Really nicely balanced game all the way up to the end! I also hit the "win screen"
By the end it got a bit hard to see everything since the screen is mostly different buildings, but that just added to the challenge. Nice game.

Wow, an incredible amount of polish for such a short game jam. Easily lost about 20 minutes playing this, I ended up in a situation where the penguins were starting to take over so I couldn't make much progress beyond that but with a bit of tweaking I think this could be really neat. Nice job.

Thank you for your comment.
This game jam we really worked hard, using the time to the very end of the submission deadline. Doing all the animations, implementing features, and doing right balance was time consuming, but I think it was worth. I'm personally proud of the outcome.
Penguins are being more nuisance with time. The better you get at optimizing production and upgrading, the less of a problem they should pose :D

I could not stop playing to see the end, the game is very good and polished. I didn't like the fact that I got a warning on "winning".

Thank you for your comment.
Normally, you would see an ending screen with an image, which is shown at game's page screenshot section. If not the problem with making a web build, we would have time to make fixes.
We apologize for the inconvenience. And congratulations on beating the game.

Thank you for your comment. We worked really hard to the very end of game jam and had some difficulties making web build.
Unfortunately, because of that, we didn't have time to fix the issue you mention.
Normally, at this point, you won the game, and you should see an ending screen with an image, which is shown at game's page screenshots section. We apologize for the inconvenience. 
Congratulations on beating the game! 🎉

Dude, this is the best incremental game I've ever seen!
I was really stuck in the game for about 30 minutes. Good job :)
