I found the Easter egg, but couldn't figure out what to do with it :-D You pulled off so much in a limited time. The animations, map, the shaders, cutscenes. It's beautiful, charming. Snow jumping is an interesting mechanic, too. I wanted to play all day in the snow TBH. It certainly has a storybook feel to it and will serve you well in the future . Well done !

I enjoyed this one quite a bit. Some wall jumping mechanics there so I assume you had more in mind with landscape and puzzles maybe. I liked the concept, mesh art, baby yoda. Was all very refreshing and your animations are not bad either nice job!
Nice game! I liked the mechanics that are there, and the little cliffhanger too. Getting this much done solo in a week is impressive! It's got a nice skeleton to it with the graphics, mechanics, and world. I'm excited to see if you'll continue working on it (if not it's totally fine. Some of my past code is like trying to untangle Christmas lights, and I just want to hide it away forever.)

The snowball mechanic was really cool, wish there were more segments to play around with it but understandable given the time constraints.
I liked the visual difference between the dream? world versus where you wake up. Really curious what the story is behind the idea so I hope you keep working on it!
It may be a little game so far, but it's a nice little game!
For a start, the models are looking nice. Simplistic and stylized, but they work. Plus that soft "hand drawn" shader that gives everything rough sketch lines completes that look of this fable-like wonder. The initial animation was cute too!
I do like the addition of the "snow ball" segments to that first level - It was a long walk for a while, and that addition made it a bit more interesting.
The end felt so promising! Arriving at that door, it opens, and then the sudden transition... what a shame it ends right there! I was amazed by that total change of mood, both in controls and look of the world. I was yearning to see what else would happen ahah
The final room was also nice to explore, even if you can't do anything - you scattered some nice details around. That pizza looks so sad tho...
Shame there isn't music or audio, but it's understandable considering the close deadline and the amount of work put in other areas.
If you're considering continuing this after the Jam, you definitely have my encouragement!
Also yeah, that's a nice easter egg at the start ;)
I like this game very much.
The 3D models and animations are very well made. I laughed when the character turned into a snowman. I had the experience of walking in a daydream.
And the bold transition of game mechanics in the final stages was astonishing. It may be my favorite scene.
Nice work!
