Great experience, wonderful atmosphere and innovative concept. Would love to see something like this expanded upon as the game felt quite short and too easy. The art was brilliantly suggestive and took me by surprise many times! That being said, I feel like the theme of winter was only tangentially relevant to the game, I would have liked to see it incorporated a bit more. Looking forward to seeing what your team do next!

Whiteout is one of The best games i've played from the jam so far. The design of this game is amazing; The tension, the feeling of being overwhelmed are there, all packed in such a simple-looking, fast-played, well executed game. Great art and music as well. Spectacular job!
Edit (after reading the comments): The flashlight and the light/shadow combination is so so good, playing it with only two colours

Snow SweeperGenuinely tense, love the way the sound effects ramp up the tension and indicate my impending doom!

On The WingWow I wasn't expecting a horror game! Great job with minimal mechanics and using art/music to create atmosphere. Was a bit confused that I had to use right mouse to make a call, but other than that a very smooth experience. Nice work!

Snowflipper PenguinAbsolutely wonderful use of the 1 bit limitation. Game looks amazing. Theme wasn't incorporated well enough IMO. Atmosphere is great. Felt too random, and like I had no clue what to do, just randomly try rooms and lose.

Born of Snow (1Bit Jam)Amazing tension and atmosphere. Panning over to the picture on the wall actually kinda startled me thinking it was someone for a second. The ghosts resembling the objects they appear over was really well done. Rushing around trying to find cell signal is a great concept. Cool game.

COLD&FLUReally cool! I Love how the flashlight inverts the color of whatever area it' pointing at, it really sells the effect. Fun but simple gameplay with really great sound design to boot, well done!
