This is the first time we are participating in a game jam. We had a lot of fun developing this mini-game. It's far from perfect - please let us know what you think.

TL;DR

  • WASD / Arrows / Space for movement

About the game

You and your life-long friend Happy and his friends are going on a race to the south pole! How far are you going? Do you dare to sacrifice another life to reach your goal?

I like cute dogs and mashing buttons so this was nice for me. Made it to 622.1 :smile:

That is a harsh interpretation of the theme. You made the wolves too cute!

My biggest problem with the game was that I didn't see that I could eat the wolves as the message went away almost immediately. If I didn't read the description I wouldn't have learnt about the mechanic.

1689.1, poor F key! Cute game... as long as you don't eat your friends :sweat_smile: I would have liked a "brake" or "stop" mechanism because we lose a lot of time to eat when the health is low.
And... how do the sled move forward after we ate Happy? :stuck_out_tongue:

Played this while my family were asleep with my mechanical keyboard, never doing that again!

Just 500ü Kilometers was my best try. Damn how big is the south pole? Did not eat the dogs, they are your friends. Why can't you turn around and just go back where you can live happily together? But the game fits the theme extremly well.

Didn't read the descriptions and just jumped in. Played the game once just hitting F as fast as I could. Then decided to explore with my sleigh rider guy, and then realized.... pppoooorrrr puppies!

I didn't realise I had to eat my dogs! My poor F key and my poor dogs. :crying_cat_face: Great ethical dilemma. Nice job.

After e few tries, and finding out how to eat the dogs, I managed to travel 1175.9km.
A nice and simple game, button mashing is not really my thing, but I did get the urge to go further than my previous attempt.
Graphics look good, the movement of the player is a tad slow, making it a bit hard to time when to leave the sleigh in order to eat a dog.

Thanks for sharing your game.

It's solid, although I wish, that game try harder to tell me how to eat my dogs.

Héhé, nice job, it's a different version of our point of view (my team and me) but it's the same thing. It was easy to see the sacrifice, but it's a good thing, you eat a dog, but you can't go fast. I enjoyed the graphics, sounds seems a little poor in my opinion, there was no musics, and the SFX was a bit annoying. But very good job =)
