Really well done, great level designs! The snow mechanic is simple but you really made full use of it in a very creative way and did a great job of gradually introducing the player to the game's rules and ramping up the difficulty. I loved the transitions with the winter themed quotes too! The pixel art snow flakes were very pretty! Great work!

Really excellent, so polished and cohesive. The artwork is gorgeous and the core mechanic is really interesting and well thought out! 

Submitted

I really love it, it's one of the best I've ever played. The difficulty increases gradually, the use of torches is really cool, and the transition is very nice.

Submitted

I love quotes in loading screens! Great Mechanic, simple yet it builds up.

This game is goated, only notes are that when something was on a pressure plate or lever, i couldn't really see what color was under it, and maybe adding a button to speed up time so waiting for the snow is less tedious.


All in all tho legit 5/5 innovative gameplay, fun puzzles, and immaculate vibe. I loved this game

Submitted

10/10 execution. This is a just one of those shining examples of a simple mechanic being well thought-out and implemented perfectly. Just a great jam game. Kudos!

Submitted

Nice game! Very cozy and the art was great! I had fun :)

Submitted

great execution! i love consistent all the pixel art is together and the idea to have snow rising was a very cool concept to interact with. great work!

Submitted

Awesome concept!

It's amazing how simple ideas like the rising snow can lead to so many different puzzle possibilites.

Some of these levels are a doozy, especially the last one, It really makes you feel accomplished when you finish a level.

Very neat puzzle, Nice art. Nice and comfy challenge!

This is a wonderful puzzle game with a truly fantastic main mechanic. I really enjoyed melting through levels to get to the transitional quotes. It must have been a fun technical challenge to implement that melting mechanic! Really superb work with that! :D

Submitted

This game is mechanically and visually impressive, the winter theme is implemented so creatively and it's such a unique game, had a lot of fun playing this one, one of our favorites :)

Submitted

This puzzle game is fantastic. The snow that you can melt that allows you to open passages is really well made. The pixel art is beautiful. The choices of the music and sounds are well though. everything matches really well with the theme. My only complaint is that there's a some issues with the level design but it only happens on 1 or 2 levels. That was really a good work!

I really liked the game, the snow mechanic is super interesting, though it was hard to read the tutorial words if you happened to be looking at something else while the level started. Maybe something like a drill if you ever continued development on the game so you could go through 1 or 2 piles while leaving them untouched otherwise?

Developer

Thanks! And yes, there are some levels that the words can get covered rather quickly. Actually, something like a drill was the original plan, but I couldn't figure out a way to dynamically melt the snow in chunks like that.

I had a lot of fun with this! The snow mechanic is really unique and fun to play around with. 

Developer

Thank you! It was fun to make it

The snow mechanic really brings life to the winter theme. Nice job!

Developer

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it

I love the quotes and the frozen effect.^^ Every level has it's own challenge i really loved it. I don't know how many levels are there but i was stuck at  snow can weigh down pressure plates  :d

Developer(+1)

Thanks! I spent a long time on the transitions so I am glad you liked them. And that is tricky one. I think thats the one where you need to build a freeze a staircase with your torches to quickly go from the plate, to the lever, and back to the plate. It saves your progress so you can always come back later if you want! :)

Love your color scheme, it's designed so cool!

Developer

Thank you! The iced over levels were a last day addition that I think added a lot of character to the game. Did you end up finishing it?

Submitted(+1)

Amazing little game! The thing I enjoyed the most is the snow mechanic. Very simple, but with a high potential.

Developer

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
