Wow I love your game and everything about it! Everything felt great, including the visual design, sound design, movement, writing, and bonus collectibles. It reminded me of A Short Hike a little bit. No other comment except I would love to play a full game of this - there is definitely room to expand it with more story/characters, environments, platform puzzles, and maybe even metroidvania-style progression. Fantastic submission!

It's a bit chilly at the park today and you didn't bring anything to keep you warm. Stay near the fires so you don't freeze to death! Run, jump, and leaf slide around the park to find things that'll keep you warm for good!
Cookies eaten
I didn't have any :((

The fact you did this in 3 days solo is crazy, I love the artwork, the character feels great to control, the animations are great, simple little story, great vibe, this is awesome!
Not too short, not too long, a perfect length and a warm happy feeling left behind afterwards
I think it says a lot when you play something like this and you think "I kinda wish there was more of this"
unfortunately, I don't know how you could expand on the concept outside of this lil' demo, but the movement was fun and the dialogues were humorous, generally a fun time ~w~
Perfectly scoped lol, there is not too much, but everything thats there is nice and polished. The chill vibes really come across.
Preparation is overrated when you’re relaxing with friends.

Perfect jam game: coziness, design, colors, characters, gameplay, dialogues, sound, jumps, acorn-based-economy, etc. 10/10.
Absolutely would buy a final comercial version with less mouse camera sensitivity :D
my review!
- controller support is super nice! (not that i need it but still!)
- title screen impression; very nice 2.5D/lowpoly artstyle it seems like. the particles and such add a lot to the calming vibes feeling alive!
- game lagged a bit after pressing start
- the intro makes the rule and theme become so obvious, in such a smooth way, I didnt even notice they explained the mechanic to me, I just understood following the dialogue
- sensitivity slider just made my experience a lot better aswell
- interacting with E is clear in the gameplay with the UI, though not reading the controls made me unsure what button to press to progress the intro dialogue (thought it was space at first). wanted to point that out
- also the map and the movement and all the stuff in this world feels so amazing, id not be surprised if this became a steam game, it's quite worthy imo!
- its refreshing to see this type of game with the 3d world, from this jam.
- id love if the cars honked when you jumped on them :>
- it'd also be funny if when you stand inside a campfire (and i mean literally) that your skin will turn all dark brown like a marshmallow- the character reminds me of one too! (the effect could fade away after a few seconds ofc but itd be such a funny little touch)
- the leaf-sliding sfx kept playing constantly when i died during it. it did fix itself when sliding again
- having the camera not be obstructed would make the platforming a lot better, in future updates ofc :P
- after obtaining the jacket, re-interaction make them say i havent found all 3 yet, obv unintentional-
- falling off the map puts you back at the last ground you were on, which is amazing, though, if you fall any other time anywhere, it brings you to that first spot you fell down from
- my first try i thought i broke the game because i collected all 3 acorns (which seemed like the main mission), and also a coco, which i didnt notice had an effect. i also didnt remember them saying anything about needing 3 warming items, so i reset thinking i bugged the game. on second playthrough i did notice the guy in the trees and then it clicked. maybe if that was more clear it'd be a lot nicer for dumb people like me ehe
- yay i completed the game! i'd loved for there to be a final dialogue with your 2 friends to close things off, but all these suggestions im giving are just because im interested in this game and have these ideas!
you can use them or ignore them. either way the game thats been made for this jam is super awesome. really a great job!
Incredible game! Basically 5's down the line :) I could not get my mouse sensitivity to change and it is very high. Also, the text boxes and buttons stick out compared to how polished everything else is. That being said, the leaf slide mechanic was very fun, and the character design and dialogue were top notch. I really wish you could go back to your friends and get an end screen with like a photo from their hike or something! All in all, one of the best games in the jam. Great work!

Love the cozy vibe of this game, and a very nice take on the theme. Very cute art style too. The dialogue is also fun, and the cutscene at the start was a nice intro. Amazing game!
I think it’s the best game on the jam! Sad that's some parts of it unfinished, but i like the atmosphere and movement
