A puzzle platformer where you dig through snow by swapping places with each snow block. There are also these fire cats that want to cool down. You are some sort of fox who likes to help these cats out.
Sort of a more sandbox environment, I think the movement is pretty interesting but the puzzle element here could be better. Theme-wise the game takes place in one screen, and the level design changes by the player's own actions.
Let me know your best time!

That was fun. Great graphics and sfx.
The difficulty was about right for me. Almost stopped playing but managed to make it to the end.
I wasn't really sure how to do the high jumps but sort of managed to do them now and again anyhow.
Outstanding entry! Very pleasant to play, clever puzzle idea, and very entertaining game overall. Graphics are very nice too. I spend 4:49 to cool down all the cats, thanks and congrats for creating such a great and polished game is such a short time frame.
Nice concept, interesting and original.
Too bad the fox is so hard to fine control though.
Nice entry ;)
This was a great small bit of fun, I thoroughly enjoyed it. And I also got 4:49.
Really awesome buddy. Concept is great, fun, cool and theme is really nice
Good job dude.
Nice game mechanic, but would like the one big level broken down into smaller levels, that ease you into the game. But I understand time is short when putting a game together.
As @BadPaul34 says, control of the fox is difficult.
Off Topic,
didn't know how else to get in touch with you.
Can you tell me what make and model you tried my game on and what graphics card. Thank you.
Last Off Topic message to @aeveis.
Thanks to your bug report and one other person, I've worked out the issue with my game, P.Rick Airious
Seems some graphics cards don't like the FullScreen 640x400 resolution I set it to, resulting in the images not being shown.
So I rewrote the graphics routines to play in a window 90% of your current resolution. Please download the new Win32 version and try it out.
Many thanks.

Really good. I normally get kinda sick of puzzle games pretty quickly, but I hadnt seen one with this mechanic before, and played through to the end (time 6:49). Great job. I would encourage you to try taking the concept further.
My god such a great game, I appreciate how it offers just the right amount of challenge for a ludum dare game, I completed it in 3 minutes and had a real good time, one of my favorite sor far.
Awesome! Great mechanic, movement feels really satisfying with the snow and sound effects, and the art style is distinct and cohesive. I quite enjoyed this one!
WOW. This was really interesting! Great game!
You could easily make a harder mode by setting a maximum type that the cats can stay on fire. (I wouldn't play this, btw... I already had troubles with this mode XD)
Interesting concept and great art, but the controls can be a bit finicky.
Pretty interesting - there's not much to it other than the innovative mechanic though. Music could have been nice, and the physics could be neatened up a bit, and there could be a few more mechanics thrown in other than just adding extra cats. Other than that, pretty fun to play for a while, but drags on a little as you approach the 18 cats.
You play as a red arctic fox trying to put hellcats into blocks of ice. The graphics were good, the gameplay is fun and interesting, and the puzzles were not too easy but not too difficult. The physics and controls could be tweaked, and I was kinda disappointed by the ending, but it was fun in the end.

PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
An interesting puzzle. Nice work!
