Very creative concept and excellent graphics! I found it was a bit easy - I tried getting more and more sloppy each level but still got 3 stars. Maybe it was just me though. I still had fun with it. Thanks!
It's a relaxing game which showed me I can't write :D I didn't get that I have to start from a specific place in a first doggo level. However, the idea is interesting and execution stylish.
Really liked the idea of witting on snow . The music was the best.
What a fantastic use of the theme with such charming aesthetics. My only critique would be it feels a tad slow paced when the word is drawn back for you but otherwise a great submission. Cheers!
Thank you for your feedback! Yes it seems i would need to add an extra click to skip the final scoring.
great use of the theme and cute way of framing the mechanic. I think this could be great as an educational game for children.
Thank you for playing :)
very lovely game:) it's nice to think of snow when it is so hot outside the window:)
Very relaxing game and interesting idea too.
Impressive tech behind this game mechanic. Cute art.
It's really a great concept and fun game to play. I really like the idea of writing in the snow. my comment would be an improvement in
But overall it's quite good. I really like the dialogue and characters. especially the song !!!
Thanks my friend for your support always. Glad you enjoyed it!
This is great, I love the concept! I feel the judging takes a little bit long to complete, it'd be nice to have the option to speed through the judging of the work at the end. But I love how you add new challenges as the game goes on, such as the dog being an obstacle! Awesome stuff all around!
Thank you! Yes I will add an extra click at the end to speed things up or skip it. Thank you for playing!
I really liked the concept! A little bit extra polish on the depressed snow would be great, it currently clashes a bit with the adorable pixel art.
Getting me to write in cursive is a small miracle. thank you!
Not what I imagined when I heard "writing in the snow". Could stand to be faster when grading you but what's here is very creative and very impressive.
Thank you for your input and thanks for playing!
XD? The idea is interesting, I did not expect a game of writing cursive, I like the twist of the dog if you had done more levels with the dog it would be great since it adds more difficulty, it is a great game :D
Not very fun when you already know cursive, but it's a good idea!
Barely fits the theme… cool game tho
Cool
This seems programmatically really impressive. Idk how the hell you made the cursive checking system work but I'm betting it was a pain. Art is really good. Biggest surprise was the narrative. It was simple but really effective, not something I've seen much in these jam games.
Thank you for playing! And yes it was a pain haha, took sometimes before I was confident to say it works to the team. Basically trace the word with a spline curve and take the closest snow path at every defined length of the curve. The further the snow path, the less your score. I did that for multiple points per word and get the average. Would try to improve on the algorithms after the jam.
The concept is smart. I would love to see the polished version.
Original idea, and I like the aesthetic. Also cool how you can see the dot trace over the word after you finish.
