A beautiful application! Wonderful idea to have a cozy little space for others to share warm holiday wishes with people! Not much to critique for this, just a solid program, executed wonderfully for this time of year and this theme of jam! Excellent work!!

If, at all, interested, I did stream myself exploring this wonderland recently.

Big praise, thanks so much!! Glad you enjoyed! Cool that you streamed playing games, hope you had a good time :) You're totally right I should have implemented a escape to quit feature, it's only one line of code, but I completely forgot about it and then the deadline hit! Have a good one!

I love this!! So nice to read everyone's messages and send one out too.  The visuals and music are very cozy. My only constructive critism is that the mouse movement felt very sensitive at first until I got used it.

Thanks so much for giving it a try, glad you had a chill time! I felt the same about the sensitivity but it was too late in development to add the feature to adjust it, but thanks for telling me that!

I read all the messages and it's very wholesome. Merry Christmas!

Thanks so much for checking it out and I'm glad you enjoyed! Happy holidays!

This was such a nice idea; it almost feels like a little reward after, what I assume for most people was, a fairly chaotic weekend (in a good way though). 

Developer

Thanks, that's so good to hear! I wanted to create an experience that would bring people (and the community) together, so I'm glad to hear you feel that way. Hope you had fun during the jam and that it wasn't just stressful!

Such a great idea and so well executed. This just felt really polished and pleasant. Hopefully people continue to respect the board. How did one person write with different colors?

Developer

Thanks for playing :) Happy to hear you enjoyed! I tried to keep the scope small and polish it as much as I could so I'm glad you noticed! There's a bit of filtering going on behind the scenes and I also curate the database a little, but yeah I also hope people respect the board! The colors are because of an oversigh.. I forgot to remove markup tags from the data sanitation step thus people can use markup tags in their messages. I don't mind it, I think it's quite fun!

Wow I didn't expect that and it really got me by surprise haha ! It's really wholesome and a truly marvelous idea, especially for this jam. It's crazy how much with such few elements and mechanics you were able to create such a cozy place to be in. Merry Christmas !!

That's great to hear, thanks so much for playing! Glad you enjoyed:)

What an absolutely wholesome idea. Even if this doesn't necessarily rank high in "fun," I would give you 10 stars in cozy and wholesome. You guys rock, and merry Christmas.

Thanks, that is high praise! I've been wanting to make a game like this (very much inspired by the game 'Kind Words') for a while, but never got over the technical hurdle of setting up a database with messages. Jams are great for challenging yourself for that kind of thing! Thanks for playing :)
