Don't worry about long startup times, the shaders need to compile :)

Web Version sadly has some visual bugs due to using ANGLE renderer. Use compiled version for best experience. You can also try to disable the ANGLE rendering backend to force native OpenGL.

But Why?

Collect and stuff as many pebbles into your backpack as you can manage and try to bring them to your igloo! (The win condition hasn't been implemented yet, oops.)

When I click one of the download links I get a warning saying:

„WARNING: This Page Has Been Quarantined

Not sure if there's anything you can do about that but I just wanted to let you know.

Thanks for letting us know!

We definitely know about it, apparently we have to wait for itch to review the page and clear it. We don't rlly know if we can do much more beyond that. We're not new to jams or GameDev, we just wanted a new Account for ✨ cool branding reasons ✨ but apparently that isn't a good idea?
