Really interesting concept. It feels good realizing the correct way to one shot the enemies, which overall makes sense because of the intelligent enemy design. I would add though that some enemies' faces or design make them feel pretty dumb and harmless (with those kind of silly faces).
Got a max score of 16 after playing for around 5 to 10 minutes.
The concept is pretty straightforward and catchy, making it easy to jump in immediately knowing what's going on and what i'm going to find.
The art is incredibly fantastic. The concept of the game is great too; loved the hats on the snowballs giving them powers! And oh man that theme is sooo catchy. Definitely one of the best games from this jam
Whiteout is one of The best games i've played from the jam so far. The design of this game is amazing; The tension, the feeling of being overwhelmed are there, all packed in such a simple-looking, fast-played, well executed game. Great art and music as well. Spectacular job!
Edit (after reading the comments): The flashlight and the light/shadow combination is so so good, playing it with only two colours
I did feel lost with this map-repeating mechanic. I liked the atmospheric aspects like the snow and the background snow sound. Great job! I just wished there was more to play :)
Really liked the general theme the game tries to follow; that feeling of being lost in the woods and the danger it poses. I agree with xavire that even some simple sfx would have helped a lot.
I want to add that giving yourself some time to polish and make sure that everything is working correctly, even though some mechanics are left behind for that, would have made the game much more enjoyable.
