Thanks very much! I will keep your feedback in mind for my future projects. There's definitely music and SFX, and it plays a huge part of the game. Other people I know have tried it with the sound working fine, sorry it wasn't working for you.

Yes of course! Also I just tried the game again and you are 100% right about the music and sfx! I have no idea why they didn't work for me the first time but they definitely do add a lot! Music is what I specialize in and what I focused on for the game jam, so I have a lot of thoughts about it! I think the music in this game could be altered to be more than a 4 bar loop. It gets stagnant very quickly and can make the gameplay feel repetitive even if it isn't (and yours isn't at all!) Also, the music as a whole feels a little out of place. A grandma climbing a mountain to deliver cookies to her grandson makes me think of music that is a lot more bouncy, goofy, and fun instead of the dark, trudging, slightly hopeful music that is currently implemented. There is also a super slight break in between loops, but music implementation can be a very tricky thing so it's obviously not a major issue. That being said, so many games submitted don't have music at all so the fact that you have any at all gets a huge props from me. Overall, this project is really great and executed amazingly. I hope more people play it because it's really fun and a decent challenge! Fantastic work!
Thank you so much! I definitely agree, the music could use some work. I kind of struggled with making a song feel both like a energetic grandmother on her way to deliver cookies, but also a midnight winter snowstorm. I make alot of music but 90% of it is just a nice 4-8 bar loop I come up with, and then I give up and move on to another project. I hardly ever create something longer than that, which sounds great for a few seconds of listening but I agree that it gets boring after a short while. Also you seem like a really chill dude (or woman idk), you got discord? I would love to talk more about music if you make it too. But thanks so much for the feedback I really appreciate it.
And that's completely valid! Making music is hard even as someone who has been studying it! Making anything at all is super cool and definitely admirable! And I really do think that the music, while not perfectly on theme, definitely felt dark and snowlike. So props to you on that. And feel free to add me! My discord is the same as my itch user.
