This game has been disqualified from being ranked for violating the resolution rules. The snowflakes spin without obeying the 84x48 pixel resolution.

Wow! The idea is about a snowman businessman and at the same time raising an important topic - global warming! Cool implementation!

Thank you, glad you liked the idea!

I wish there was a mapping more than just the numpad. I don't think i can play this one.

Developer

Thanks for the comment. Can you elaborate a bit? Any number key works, along with directional keys and A/D for player movement.

It might be my browser or something. I wasn’t able to get it to move. I tried those keys. I’ll try a different browser in a bit :)

Thank you :)

Really great character animation and collecting snowflakes is fun. The objective is a little confusing.

Developer

Thanks for the comment! The objective is just to keep going as long as possible.

It's a really funny game idea! It does have potential. I just find it a bit hard to understand (I now think that I understand the game), so I think that it would be really helpful to write all the controls in the description (The 1:UI is hard to see) and explain the game a bit more (the price goes up/down, the temperature goes up/down, seasons change, you lose snowflakes, die if you have none, ...). The art is also interesting and I did like how the snowflake-price changes. Maybe the summer can also be slightly shorter. I think I'll try this game again soon, it was fun!

Hey, thanks for the detailed feedback! I do agree it's hard to understand, the game jam's restrictions forced me to try to explain everything with very little.

I wrote the controls in the description and added a bit more context as you suggested, thanks for that.
