Play as a weatherman who's predictions are 100% spot on. While that may sound like a good thing, people get upset if the weather isn't to their liking. Can you deliver through your seven day forecast unscathed?

Loved the game ! It's the first time I actually really like a character in a game jam, the game was also so polished it felt great !

Love the audio so much! Graphics also very expressive. The gameplay is missing a little something for me, but the overall mood of the piece was great, very polished and fun. I got tense, but was pleased to get through the game without the mob killing me!

Great mood! Love the asthetics, especially the wheatherman (his art, but also his animations) and the premis is just great. Mechanically, the game felt a little bit too easy. I actually made a second run to fail just to see the other "ending", and it was almost more challenging than winning. But the scope of a jam like this obviously restricts the amount of possible features and I think this is an awesome base that could be expanded on with great promise!

Good fun for a couple playthroughs to see both endings! I really like the art style, and the weatherman is a very expressive and characterful protagonist for the game, and I was rooting for the poor fellow from the beginning. The audio design was lovely in its simplicity, and the frog sound effect was my absolute favorite! The gameplay was intuitive and the instructions were included very naturally into the beginning. The city names were fun, and the jab at game industry was a good one. Now I almost want to see how he fares in that career!

Really enjoyed this one. Despite the simple gameplay it hooked me in. The great graphics and sound helped with that - I loved the entirely vocal based music.

I absolutely, absolutely adore this game. The jokes were light-hearted and fun, the game was easy to pick up and play, and the general vibes were so great.

Thank you for this wonderful weather game!
