thanks! And totally agree about the challenge level. The original idea was to have some files that were system critical and resulted in a BSOD if you accidentally deleted them and viruses that infected other files and multiplied

Really appreciate you playing and commenting 

Very nice level of polish. Played a few rounds and was pleased when the shop appeared and I could upgrade. After that things got a bit repetitive but I'm not sure what else I should expect for a week long game jam!

Beautiful graphics and the 2d and 3d is really well blended.

Solid effort!

The best game of the jam. Also the worst game of the jam.


This game is perfectly evil. Well done.

Nice concept. All the right elements there, graphics, gameplay, audio, etc. I only got through a couple of levels before failing. Probably about the right difficulty level for experienced gamers but wouldn't likely let me 6yo play it as he'd get frustrated too quickly!

Probably needs a little tune-up on the controls side of things, but not much else to complain about!

Beautiful game graphically and UI is super hi res as usual. I'd echo what a lot of other commentators said about the balance being a bit off with few resources. Also the beautiful sprites that decorate the levels distract a little from whatever resources I might be able to find and I wonder if it would be possible to have two styles of art to make the background more "background"

Well that was just a beautiful game! I got to the end and am a bit puzzled but the story but honestly it's just a really well polished entry where everything ties together nicely.

Very cool puzzle game with tonnes of polish. Like other commenters I had issues with performance in browser, Godot 4.4 might be an improvement here, but didn't take away from my enjoyment of the game.

Nice original concept but it wasn't very clear what was going on - even with the tutorial. I think you maybe needed a different way to visualise the static on the tape reel - perhaps a waveform or similar.

Same scaling issues as the other players. Beautiful graphics, no sounds/music? Gameplay wasn't obvious to me.

Many congrats for submitting your first game jam entry, a bit more work on the sounds and tweaks to gameplay/tutorials etc and I think this is a solid effort.

Wow! Great minds do think alike! Love how we both landed on a similar game idea but had very different ways to execute on it.

Love your cartoony stylised graphics approach - looks amazing.

A couple of things that would make it easier to play on the web: 1. Fullscreen mode and 2. capture mouse - at times I found myself accidentally selecting other tabs in my browser.


I must confess I struggled with the concept of the game, the cats get everywhere, am I supposed to ignore them?


I killed a few ugly looking viruses - but didn't progress very far

very kind words! Appreciate you taking time to play and comment

ha! I love this! It’s like glitching a speed run. Thanks for playing!

ah gotcha!  Thanks. I’ll try that 

Erm, bit stuck on this one, how do I sell the egg? Can't work out how to select that option

Thanks! You're absolutely right about the length, a LOT was descoped sadly, including a whole OS between the modern one and the monochrome one. But I'm really glad you found it polished, thanks so much for playing!

Thank you! If only the dev was as simple as the actual gameplay! But I appreciate the comments, thanks for playing!

Thank you, such kind words! Makes all the head scratching to get Godot UI working worthwhile!

Aw thanks so much! Means a lot that you enjoyed it!

thanks. I’ll give it a try!

Hello! Was playing this through last night with my son and we were very confused about what you need to do?

thank you so much for playing and leaving a comment. I rushed the tutorial so totally understand it could have been clearer! 

thanks! Glad you could try it out and leave a review. I added difficulty late on as my teammates said it was too easy. I’m not sure if hard is even possible!

thanks! The HTML version is struggling with the textures I think. Glad you could access the desktop version ok. Thanks for playing and leaving a review 

thanks for playing and for your kind comments. Appreciate you leaving a review 

no worries. That’s pretty much how things go in game jams!

lovely comments! Thanks for playing. Get what you mean about the camera. It was originally moving with player but was a bit too much, a little swing would definitely improve things

hey thanks for playing and leaving a review! I do agree the gameplay could be more varied - but we just wanted a quick 2min play through and the different difficulty levels give some replay ability. 

This actually amused me for quite some time while I read all the different names of the creatures!


It feels like you could make this into a full game with just a few tweaks, maybe a timing challenge or a rule where you have to only freeze certain characters based on something in their names?

Very chill game that I enjoyed playing and I'd like to replay with my son (6) as I think he'd be able to play too. 

The only slight tweak I'd like to see is the icons for digging made a bit bigger so they are easier to hit. Actually maybe also the difficulty increased - or alternatively the snow removed altogether for just a lovely chill gardening game.

I loved the crispness of the UI and the satisfying animations on harvesting.

Hello! I recently bought an xbox controller to play games with and was so happy to see you have controller support! (I added it to ours also). This was a decent entry with some rough edges that could easily be polished. First I think you need some pulsing game music for when doing the lap. I also think you need some way to see which snowmen you've already hit as you go round. Next there is the controls - the sensitivity was off with the thumbstick for aim so I tending to use the left thumbstick to move into a firing position instead. 

Anyway, despite the rough parts, the fact you delivered all this on your own in your first GWJ  is _very_ impressive - my first attempt was not up to this standard!

Loved this game! Very cute, original and fun to play. Just the right level of difficulty to win first time around but still feel the challenge of the thaw approaching and narrowly avoiding melting into a puddle!


Would have tweaked the snowball rolling to make it "stick" to you a bit more maybe

My son (6) says "I love the lasers, but I don't like the frustrating things like the lasers and having to get the key through the lasers!"

I think you could consider changing the hold to jump higher to a double jump to make movement more fluid.

Can I just say, that as a first game jam entry, this is pretty amazing! I loved being able land on a frozen laser beam to access a door.


Music is also lovely and chilled 

(1 edit)

My 6yo son played this and enjoyed it. I like the idea of freezing time. My son enjoyed the cannons and blasting things!

Doesn't work in browser (Chrome/Safari on macOS)

no Mac version or HTML5?

would love a Mac build too if possible

awesome, I'll check it out

Thanks, aim was really tricky as the ball uses physics and the aim is trying to predict the physics. Next time I might try jolt to see if it aligns better

You have to click both mouse buttons at the same time? That is where I'm having issues, I'm on a Mac and it's not possible with trackpad or Magic Mouse
