Poor Bartolomeo has lost in the tundra. Help him to write his long message of help, while dodging polar animals and fighting for signal. Watch the time, you don't want your phone to run out of battery.
Some tips:
1. Use the environment(bushes, trees, holes) to slowdown or confuse enemies.
2. Use holes to randomly travel map!
3. Enemies can't get you on trees. Some signals better there.
4. Fox can be caught in corners.
5. You need a signal to type. With a better signal, the message will be sent faster.
Sorry for no audio.

By the way, I've noticed you haven't rated a lot of games yet. In order to get other people to notice your game, you need to go out there and leave ratings and comments on others' creations! Then it will get boosted by the algorithm.

Great take on the theme. I like the straight forward-ness of your game. Feels simple to get started, has quite some things to explore, going on a mountain climb to look at colorful lights, playing tag with wolfes and climbing trees :) Very very cool entry, good job! Keep on making games :)
I plan to finish the game (audio, 2-3 more levels, replayability, etc.) this summer, you can follow updates on itch.io.
