The art and music create a beautiful atmosphere! The gameplay is also fun even though it doesn't fit the theme of the jam much. It takes a while to figure out what you need to do but once you do it's quite fun. It has some bugs one of which was pretty annoying - I couldn't select some of the floating ice blocks and they just passed me by. Overall great entry!

I think utilizing the theme to its fullest is more about making the core game loop around it instead of referencing it. But that's more of a game design exercise and quite hard.
It's all just for fun so what's important is that you made a working game in 72 hours.
It turned out great so your team should be proud.
Thanks :) I understand, but for us, the interpretation of the theme is purely subjective and just forces the devellopement in one direction, and therefore, there’s really no “perfect” use of the theme, just more or less original ways of using it. But I understand that our use is not the most original ^^’
