The Return of Winter

The concept of this is very nice, and that this was all done with a one-person team is exceptionally impressive. I had to rate it 3/5 of only because it's unfinished and because I think the button allocations could be altered a bit to feel better for a keyboard user (this actually feels like it could be a fantastic controller game!). But the art direction, the concepts, and the quiet, but calm music ties together a pleasant experience that makes me wish the jam had been longer so we could have enjoyed a full level. Honestly, it gives me early-game Hollow Knight (for platforming) x Lock's Quest (style) vibes, and that's a great compliment.
