I didn't finish it, but I loved the level design and music! It was a really cool story idea too. Great game!

The game was cool! I liked the art, the different levels, awesome music, ... I couldn't finish it though, got a bit hard for me and it was also a bit hard to distinguish from immovable objects and interactable objects (obviously because of the jam). I did want to see how it ended, so I watched the walkthrough. It really is a good game and I think that a remake (without the Nokia Jam Restrictions) would also be very fun. I didn't really understand the ending, though.
Thank you for you review!
About the game’s plot: Game starts from a moment, when mouse’s relatives were taken by birds on the top of the mountain (every entity on this height slowly freezes even when it’s day). And saving its relatives becoming the main goal of the game. So the mouse goes up to the mountain’s top and saves them by pushing from tree on hillside, where they will be unfrozen. But the mouse gets freezed exactly after this. And in the end of titles small picture show that the mouse was eaten by a bird.
And the meaning of all of this is: You always have to pay something for what you want. Or alternatively, it’s my small rebellion against sweet endings in games (and not only).
Reminds me a lot of Risk of Rain! Quite the challenging game, but fun nonetheless!
Fun and polished game! Love the art style, and the gameplay so far. May have died quite a few times. :) Great job!
by now, for me, the best game of the jam. Super complete, smooth, interesting, mysterious, long. You can save it and continue. Im not done yet, but I lovet it. The art is great, all the creatures look very alive just with a few pixel. 5/5 rated.
