This looked great! The controls felt sloppy, but maybe you were going for a slippery ice thing? Either way, it was a little too slow for my taste.

I really like the art and mood of the game, it could have more gameplay first and then focus on art. It kinda fits the theme but really good submission overall. Keep it up!

Just finished playing the game and I'm a bit conflicted. The animations had all of the right keyframes, but they seemed to play too fast. The movement felt sluggish, but playable. The tone of your game really was the thing that saved it for me. With some bug fixes and changes to the gameplay, I'm sure this could be a really impactful experience. Overall, very good for your first Ludum Dare!

I particularly liked the snow platforms crumbling. Pace of the game was slow but it looked/sounded nice. Cool entry!

The mood of the game is very good, it brought me the feeling of loneliness. Besides, you could improve the movement by making it more slippery (maybe adjust the friction?) or make the bear move faster. Overall, this is a great game. Congrats!

@arcadonauts Thank you for playing and nicely being the first commenter! Hmmmm....we intended to make the bear a little bit slower to move compared to the melting glaciers in background environment… But it seems we do not have enough time to deal with the environment… and just as you say, it truly needs a better consideration for the speed choice. We may update it later in another version.

@dingodize Firstly, thank you for your playing. Yes, you are right! As a rookie for Game Jam and game dev. We are usually a little bit struggling for what goes first…mechanism or aesthetic. This time we choose the aesthetic but also wants some puzzle-game playing. But In the end, some sketched arts and puzzles are not quite finished. We will try to learn from this jam and build a better pipeline next time.

This art is amazing! Nice sfx. Gameplay is a bit basic, but still a great entry

Hey ! Really liked the vibes from your game. Gameplay is simple and there are probably some issues (sometimes the ice platform broke before I got on, and one time I respawned in the water..?), but the animation and arts are really good, the sound (eventhough you didn't produce it) feels great and gives feedback. It's a really nice game, and it tells a basic yet beautiful story. Good job ! :)

What a cute bear, I was so sad when I killed him ... :/
Really nice interpretation of the theme !!

Nice game, timing on a few of the platforms can be improved. As well movement is slugish in some areas. Mainly when moving from platforms onto solid land again. Over all good game :)

Awesome game. I was pleasantly suprised with the overall mood of the game. Hope you develop a post jam version for this!

The challenges were a little boring and uninteresting! but from the visuals and the music, I can say that you can actually make a whole game out of this idea.

I love that vibes so much! Animation is charming. Background is minimum but impressive. The last scene left me with a heart warming. Great work overall!

Nice game! I liked the story a lot, the atmosphere too. The gameplay was kinda minimal but the final part was really beautiful and so cute, I love this stuff :) I wish there was more hinting about the end during game-play like memories or something. Good work :)
