The melting snwoman made me sad (somehow managed to ignore the e-part of the controls...)

I really dig the mechanics of this game! The mirroring, the damage/melting you have to take to advance. Also that you regenerate by walking trough snow. It's awesome!
But getting the timing right on the moving thing to be mirrored was a little annoying.
The game looks really good and the sounds fit nicely.
Love it. (by Alvar)

I really liked the snowflake particles. The puzzles were really good.
I kept thinking that it would be great if the snowman only regenerates on snow.
Other than that, congratulations on finishing. Nice game.

I enjoyed the graphics and theme of the game, very nice looking with a nice soundtrack, but I found the puzzles a bit hard to see, I didn't really know where things were and where I was meant to go.

I must be missing something... seems like all I can do is go back and forth between two level configurations by entering the mirrors, but nothing else seems to change or be interactive. Could use a little more explanation for those who are thick like me. Nice graphical style though and the music fits the atmosphere very nicely. Good work!

While the graphics could have used work, I liked the sound and musical cues.

Very relaxing game and the cutest snowman I've ever seen. Well done!
If I had to suggest something it'd be a slighty clearer tutorial part and making blocks slide with ease when they are on a straight path (currently sometimes gets stuck on tile borders and one has to bash them a few more times to get them moving).

All in all, a neat little game, well done.

Innovative gameplay with these mirrors! I liked the snowman and how he melts when he is around warm things.

I liked the mechanics of the game, but it was a bit confusing to understand how it worked. Also I find the controls a bit too difficult to use. The sound was a bit anoying, but I liked the graphics and the snowman is quite nice! Congrats! Nice entry.

Thank you very much for all the comments. We see there is a lot of room for improvement for the next LD. :)

@mramazing: yes, there seems to be a problem with chrome and our game. We are not sure why. But we will add a warning to the description. Thanks for the bug report. ;)

It's a little bit buggy, and rough around the edges, but it's a good puzzle game once you have understood it.
The music is fitting and the sound effects are also good.
I'm not sure if just walking by the last stalagmite is the correct way to solve it :)

The music and graphics are good, but I couldn't understand what I had to do to advance... level 2 ^^,

A bit of an explanation of how the world works would be really helpful to enjoy the game better :)
