nice game gameplay is pretty fun. but the embient music was too loud. art style was nice and enemy overall game world building design. this game reminded me of a friv games from 2010s ... nice work.

How does the game fit the theme?
No one can be trusted at Trust Fall Summit during the annual snowball fight. The whole idea of the game is that everyone on the mountain is a potential target, so you never really know who is going to throw the next snowball at you. The theme fit pretty naturally with the name Trust Fall Summit and the idea of not being able to trust anyone around you.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
I used a purchased pixel art snow tileset by Snoblin for some of the environment art. Everything else was made by me during the jam, including the characters, animations, pixel art, overall design, code, and music. I used Godot for the game, Aseprite for the pixel art and animations, and DefleMask for the music. The asset pack is credited in the game.

Thank you! I grew up playing a lot of those old DOS and Windows games, so the SkiFree comparison definitely brought back some memories. I was going for that old school feel with the graphics and music. For the theme, I was trying to play into the idea of “trust no one” by making everyone on the mountain a potential threat, since the raccoons, moose, and skiers are all trying to hit you with snowballs and you never really know where the next one is coming from. I appreciate the feedback though, and thanks for playing and taking the time to comment!
Thank you so much!! I’m really glad you enjoyed it! The raccoon and moose were some of my favorite characters to make, and I had way too much fun with the Yard Sale animation 😂 I’ve actually been thinking about doing a limited-time expansion after the jam and possibly starting a Kickstarter for it, so it’s really cool to hear you’d like to see more features! And hearing that you could play it all day as a mobile game is a huge compliment. Thanks for playing and for such a kind comment!!
Thank you! I’m really glad you enjoyed it! I put a lot of work into the sprites and was really happy with how they turned out. And yeah, throwing snowballs while moving was definitely meant to make things a little trickier haha. I really appreciate you playing and taking the time to leave such a nice comment!

Thanks! I really enjoyed making it and put a lot of hard work into the art, so I’m glad you liked it. I was curious though, what made it feel a bit off theme to you? Thanks for playing!

Ahh, I see what you mean. I went more for the idea of everyone on the mountain being out to get you rather than making trust itself a direct mechanic, so I can see how that might come across differently. Thanks for explaining, I appreciate the feedback, thanks for taking the time!

Thank you! I’m really glad you enjoyed the art and movement! I can’t believe you spent 45 minutes trying to finish it haha. I really appreciate the feedback on the tree hitboxes too. I was trying to make them a little forgiving so you could squeeze through tight spaces, but I may have gone a little too far with some of them. Thanks for playing and for the great feedback!
