Can be played on keyboard (key X, spacebar) or gamepad (X, A buttons) ;) Btw, the game is not endless, you need to collect 3 fruits from huge trees; for this you need to icrease your level (to increase level you must collect 6 objects of loot, and be careful you can lose them) by collecting the loot fallen from snowmen. However, to receive the fruit your level must be equal to randomly chosen number (it is from 4 to 6), so not every time when you see the location with huge Tree you can take the fruit. Those locations (with huge Tree) will spawn again randomly, so don't be afraid if you don't receive the fruit at first time entering the location.

Great art and simple mechanics. It was hard to understand how to play until I read the comments. With good sound, it will amazing game for mobile especially. Also, hard understand what is growing :(

Thank you for your opinion! Yep, for tutorial didn`t have have time :( 

You grow up while collecting the loot from snowmen (increase your level and sprite scale of the yeti).

I understand. I have the same :) I think we should not stop and continue developing even after jam :)

Interesting. Growing level I saw later, but image not so much :(

I loved the art and colors a lot in this game!

 
I figured the X button after noticing there must be something to help me get past the snowmen if jumping would not help me deal with them :D . I enjoyed the portrait mode of the game, I imagine it would work nice on mobiles!
It was a really interesting mechanic to have the snowballs recharge after a while and it made me strategize how I would spend them! Would be awesome to have the difficulty increase over time as well!


Would be cool to play this game again after an update with more visibility on obstacles and a small tutorial on keybindings/controls for new players :D

Thank you for your opinion :) Really glad to hear it, as I didn`t have much time to develop this game perfectly :). Yes, i defenitely thought about increasing the difficulty, and yep, my main profile is making games on android, so after the jam I will start polishing this one and making it look and work good on mobile devices. Agree about tutorial, just didn`t have time to draw a few sprites with it, but will add it in final version :)

We had the same issue, ran out of time for tutorial and because of that, many players did not get the chance to play and upgrade our plants :'( . We also plan to develop our game further after the jam and fix all the issues mentioned so far :D

Good luck on your journey, would love to see more from you :D

Developer

Thanks, good luck on your journey too ;)

I liked how the game looks. Except not when your behind the trees or somehting. I found the x-button from here on comments but it feels it gets too easy to kill the snowmen then. Jumping over too difficult. And randomly to get the fruits was not working. I dont know how many times I passed the huge trees but no fruits :(

Needs a littlebit of more thinking what the end goal is.

Otherwise Good Job for finishing the game for jam!

Developer

Thank you for trying my game! Really appreciate that. Really strange about fruits, did you collect the loot from snowman to up your level? The level for fruits must be >5, >10 and >15. (For first, second and third).

Submitted

If you mean the number. It stayed as 1. Maybe im doing somehting wrong. Tried again but no change.

Developer

Hmmmmmmmmmm. When u destroy snow man - you take the loot, you need 6 pieces of loot to up-level. But when u run on the hill - those enemies who fly - decrease your loot level, maybe you didn`t kill then and lost loot. Because the number must increase due to amount of loot collected :)

The art is really good and the core gameplay seems simple and fun enough.

Though, I was not a fan of getting hit by obstacles and enemies hidden behind the trees, it's almost impossible to see them (especially rocks).

Developer

Thank you for your opinion! :)

 Yes, there was such a problem with obstacles and enemies, I tried to fix it, but didn`t have time to finish this ufortunately.

Yeah, that's fair. Hope to see more games from you in the future!

Cant see how to grow to get the fruits.

Yeah, I just have written better description of the game in comments. So, answering your question - when you take the loot from snowmen you can icrease your level, than if your level is high enough (randomly chosen number 4-6), while running near the big tree, you will get it automatically, and so on, until all 3 fruits are collected.
