How does your game fit the theme?
The countdown can be found in three places : the campfire is dying down, the cubs are on a timer and need to be fed. And the wincon is all about surviving until a deadline. Three countdowns that make a challenge together.

Love the game!
Oh Sheesh this is a really good one!!
also goes to show how hard it is to be a mom lol, its hard to be perfect :(
I really ahve no complaints or even any real nitpicks for this one
I just really like ALL of it!
The gameplay loop is great, needing to go farther and farther for resources as time goes on.
I love how every mechanic is intercoonncted SOO much and it all affects each other
U need to choose between the food and the firewood, both are important, but you gotta do either, WHILE keeping away from hunters!
Hunting yourself isnt THAT hard but you gotta aim nicely
Oh that IS 1 thing i have a nitpick about.. for keyboard we only have 8 directions to move in, so it can be sometimes a bit annoying to aim correctly as u cannot even adjust the trajectory after u start to hunt.
But other than that, the gameplay is really fun! Its appropriately difficult but never feels unfair
Other than that, the atmosphere is SOOO WELL MADE aswell!!
The visuals, the music, sfx and the ambience is SOOO cool!
Agreeing with another commenter on how much untapped potential this game has, you can have some other campfires or maybe cubs of differnt age, maybe u could send or like take an older cub with you to hunt
or maybe like with time, humans increase at the starting location so you gotta scout out another fire source quickly and take your cubs there or just mybe that after a while you are just out of resources so you gotta find other sites of maybe other failed mothers and take refuge where they used to..
I too hope you guys continue with this with a post jam update or even a full release :P
Great work, All of you!
Really cozy art and audio, and the gameplay is quite engaging one i got the hang of it. Really good entry!
The artwork is really beautiful, and the game plays smoothly! It took me a few restarts to figure out all the obstacles and mechanics, and I wonder if it'd be better if they were a bit more staggered?
Anyway, great work
I love the art work! You’ve nailed that perfect balance between the snug warmth of the campfire and the stark, biting chill of the snowy forest.But the background sound feels a tad cluttered at times.Maybe you can add some snow particle effects could really push that wintry atmosphere over the top.
I also think this aesthetic is practically begging for a stronger narrative focus—slowing the game pacing down a touch would give that built-in story vibe even more room to breathe. The mood alone already feels like it’s hiding a dozen little tales, which is such a rare quality!
Hope to see what new mechanics you’ll layer in down the line—this has so much untapped potential. Can’t wait to see where you take it next!
5/5 Perfect
Small and polished. Aiming is a bit hard tho, it would've been easier with the mouse.
Really nice game with a beautiful atmosphere. I love the art!
Well done!
the rabbits was pretty clear, what i have to do with them, and then the hunter surprised me XD
then i started again...feed my cubs, avoid the hunter....and then i lost because the fire got out Xd
fully understand now and i think i won the game ^^
i had fun, nice game ^^
i must say the artwork is really really beautiful !
Jeu très sympa et mignon. Un peu triste de voir mourir ces petits renards à chaque partie :(
Est-ce que le jeu est sans fin et s'arrête lorsqu'on perd ? Ou il y a vraiment un moment ou l'été arrive et on n'a plus de souci de froid ? (Je suis peut-être juste trop nul :D)
L’été fini par arriver 😜
Beautiful game ! Surely one of the best looking in the jam. The atmosphere pulled me in right away, and I liked how simple the gameplay is while still feeling tense. Amazing work !!!
Such a beautiful and emotionally engaging game! Making the player responsible for the cubs was a great choice, as saving them begins to feel like a real responsibility rather than just a game objective. Beautiful artwork and excellent work overall!
looks great
Thank you!
Foxes! Beautiful art, great game
Snow cuties. thanks for the review
Ah, that art is so nice! The game is heartbreaking. I was looking for some hidden treasures under the trees, are there any?
Thank you for the nice comment on art, I put a lot of effort into it. We wanted to make a really polished game so we reduced the features to bare minimum. We will definitely add some hidden things under the tree if we work more on the game.
Very nice art, and I also like the underlying meaning of how hard it is to survive in the wild.
I am so happy you appreciate the difficulty of the game. Thank you for the comment.
Some of the best artwork I've seen this game jam, and also an amazing idea. I love how i was getting frustrated after a few tries, but then realized that was the point. It is really hard for these animals.
Thanks a lot for the compliment on the artwork it was my first time hand animating and I think the result is pretty cool too. This kind of comment on your experience playing the game is really precious. thank you
Super compelling story line and beautiful art work, Great job! It was harrowing, however. I was not expecting to be shot dead. And the pups I lost? I'll never recover.
The cold winter has no mercy.
The game looks beautiful, Only one cub survived in my attempt. It's a very simple, but nice game
Thank you so much, one cub is already really good, the game is not trivial.
This was a beautiful game. Very hard, but i think that just really just emphasized the narrative of the game. Even then i think catching bunnies could be slightly more forgiving. Either way, i really loved it!
Yes we wanted to make a difficult but balanced experience. Thank you so much for the feedback we will take it into account in future updates.
