it's a shame you guys ran out of time, it's a really fun concept! the art looks great and the dynamic music absolutely slaps! took me a while to figure out that you can drag to change seasons anywhere on the screen and not just in the corner lol, it was much easier once i figured that out

glad you liked it, we had a lot of fun doing it and we are really glad we managed to post this!

Hello! I've done a few runs of your game and I have some feedback!

  • I noticed a few visual bugs. Occasionally there would be a 'line' on the ground you're cycling on. Sometimes the background would have a different season on the far right for a little bit before it fixed itself.
  • I know others have already mentioned this but is there any reason not to just flip back and forth between two seasons? I just stuck in winter the whole time and flipped to fall if I saw snowmen.
  • Maybe some kind of visual indication of when an obstacle is disabled would be nice? I get that you're supposed to like figure them out based on logic, like the water freezes in winter and the snowmen melt in not winter, but a couple times I lost a run because I didn't notice right away that I flipped back to winter while I was still in the middle of some snowmen, lol. Maybe just a failure on my part.
  • Are there only the three obstacles? I think I only saw the bush, water, and snowmen. I would guess each season has it's own but, again, I didn't see any reason not to spend the entire time in winter & fall since winter seems to disable both the bush and the water, and fall disables the snowmen.
  • I really liked the pixel art for the backgrounds! They were neat!
  • The Linux download's file name is set to "VerySeriousGame". Not sure if that's intentional or it's supposed to read Seasoncycle and you forgot to change it or something?

Overall, I thought this was a cute game! I hope my feedback isn't coming off as negative, I'm trying to be constructive. Here's my high score:

Have a great day and good luck in the Game Jam!

Thanks for your feedback! And yeah you're right, a lot of the game couldn't be polished in time. We wanted to add more events and also sprites for as an example a frozen lake, possibly with short animations, but in the end we couldnt add more because of time reasons 😔

As @ferridian said, you can just switch two seasons which, but I still enjoyed it. Concept is good and game looks good.

Great concept! It was a shame that i ended up only having to switch 2 seasons but great game!

Thanks! And yeah everything's self made - credits are on the game page :D
