Everything is so simple which made it a great game to play!
Everything is so simple which made it a great game to play!
Well im Glad! :D
Very cool! I really enjoyed that you still had to make sure you wouldn't freeze even when a ghost
Thank you! Im so glad you enjoyed :D
The art for this is really good I like the fact that I can go into the deer, they were super cute and it really helped the concept of the game come to life. It did seem like I was able to accidentally get the ice blocks stuck a couple times. If I pushed them close enough to where I couldn't get in between both blocks became useless. That's really my only complaint!
Im glad you enjoyed the art, it took a while to make. Im sorry about the blocks getting stuck together, I didn't even think to try it. Thank you for your kind words and your feedback. :D
I liked the game, it felt cozy and I wasn't feeling so pressured to get the wood and getting it to the fire, it was a good little time but I think it was for the better as it could have been a bit worse if it was longer. The art is charming and the concept fun. I'm not that good on making puzzle games so it's impossible for me to give you any suggestion about that. I didn't experienced any bug so it felt pretty solid. Keep it up!
Thank you. Im also bad at making puzzles in games but im glad you enjoyed and didn't find any bugs. :D
Aside from any bugs I think this was super cute! I loved the music and oddly the art style was almost nostalgic for me because I used to play tons of similar looking browser games when I was younger.
I love the concept and take on the theme you have!
Good job!!
Im so glad you liked the art, that took a good portion of my time for the jam. idk why but the deer was my favorite. Thanks again for your kind words. :D
The deer was ALSO my favorite!!! The animation of it getting up felt so nice!
:D
Great idea, and great execution, especially for a game jam.
Would be cool to have a torch or something to keep warm, I felt a bit bored having to return to the fire so often.
Thats fair, a torch would be a cool idea. But also you can leave the persons body at the fire while you go into ghost form. Thank you for your feedback :D
Oh, didn't figure that out. It was weird that it's still cold when you are a ghost :D Now it makes sense
pressing play crashes my chrome window :(
Im sorry, I dont know why it would do that.
all good! just thought youd want to know
Thank you :D
Really cozy game, but imo it does slightly contrast with the tense gameplay where you have to constantly gather wood or you'll die, was that your intention?
Also please rate my team's game! It's a 5-10 minute light horror where you play dead in a room with a killer.

I wanted the game to be more intense, but after playing it for so long. it seemed more chill so I put the music to match that. Thank you for playing. Im sorry but I only play on browser versions. Your game does look fun tho, agian sorry.
I enjoyed this a lot! The music is nice and I love the art style. Gameplay was fun and interesting too, though I never survived because I kept managing to get the ice in positions where the deer couldn't push it. I don't know why I'm so bad at this game. My skill issues aside, great work!
Im so glad you enjoyed it. Ya the ice can be a little tricky. Thank you for playing :D
First thought this was a survival game :D nice little puzzle platformer (I guess? haha) really enjoyed the style and music :)
Ya it does look like a survival game, sorry for the confusion. Im glad you enjoyed tho, Thank you :D
liked the music and puzzles
Im so glad, Thank you.
Hey, we had really similar concepts! Nice work :)
Sounds cool I will have to check it out. Thank you :D
Honestly really fun game, love the cozy artstyle and very interesting mechanic to possess bodies to complete puzzles. Good work!
Thank you :D, I wanted more animals but ran out of time.
Wow I love this concept, I think it would be more fun if there were even more things to possess, but obviously Im aware there wasnt time for that. Great work though!
Ya I wanted to add a rabbit, where it might be able to chew through rope or something, idk. Thank you for your kind words.
This would be a sick idea tbh.
neat concept!
Thank you
Having to switch bodies fast to solve the puzzle so you can stay warm was pretty fun, i can easily see this as a full game with a variety of puzzles.
Im so glad you enjoyed, Thank you for your kind words.
