I love the vibe! Really reminds me of getting a game for christmas and playing it as soon as I woke up the next day. I feel like it could be fun to get a bit creative with the sizes of the individual snowballs so people can create a lot of different looking snowmen (I guess that would probably create issues with the customization... thought I would mention it tho). I'm excited to see how you develop the game further!!

Thanks for playing! I'm glad you liked the vibe. And that's a cool idea! Actually, I was also originally thinking of allowing different sizes for the snowballs, but due to the time restrictions I thought it would be simpler to just have fixed sizes. We probably won't change that at this point as we mostly just want to finish the polishing, but that could have allowed for making some funny looking snowmen for sure haha
The game looks great. Perfectly capture the cozy winter vibes. The dialogues are funny but would be better if they reveal more quickly or if there is a way to skip the revealing animation. The snowman customization is good. There are so much content for a demo made in 3 days. My name is Yes now apparently. Great game
Sincerely, Yes

Let's decorate the Christmas tree!Okay, wow! I'm super impressed.
- Love that you went all in on the N64 vibe. As a child of the 90's, this is so nostalgic and had a similar atmosphere to the penguin/ice levels in Super Mario 64. I love your cover image, too, with the N64 box elements.
- Everything functioned so smoothly in the game. Controls made sense and I never struggled to interact or move, and the dialogue always made it clear how to proceed.
- All of your models look so cute and cleanly done, and I think you did a great job placing collectable items in the world in a thoughtful way that made them stand out from the environment/non-interactable objects.
My main point of constructive feedback would be for the dialog system. The dialog is revealed fairly slowly, and I sometimes found myself impatiently trying to reveal it faster, only to accidently skip the whole line. It would be great if one press just skipped to showing all of the current dialog, and then a subsequent press advanced the dialog.
Overall, this is GREAT and will be getting a high rating from me <3

Snoom: Where is my hat?Cute game! I had a lot of fun wandering around town looking for items. Felt a bit bad about stealing Nicks glasses tho lol. I wish the dialogue had all some out on screen at the same time because it took a while and I din't want to skip it all.

Cocoa RushI really enjoyed the visuals and the music! I did find it a bit hard to know when objects could be picked up (possibly an indicator could help). The customisable snowman is a really cool touch and is a fun way to explore the town!
