This game seems to be more of a victim of lack of time. There's really not much to go on with the rules. Only thing you'll really notice without effort is basically crafting (basically, the whole game), Unicode (Russian characters), and poems.

Snow is nothing more than a reference within the poems, and the title screen.

Pathfinding: Without reading the readme file, you'll think there's no pathfinding. The readme says the pathfinding is used to find out where the pieces of the poem belong.

As for the rest of the rules, it does make for a fairly decent game for the time frame this compo ran.

Scores: Overall 3 Artistical 3 Technical 2 Genre 5

Writing games from scratch, a pain that can leave you with no time to add some polish that at least makes the game playable without waiting on reviews. I'm sure if there was reusable code to be had for the programmer, this would be a great game.

Overall, the rules are clearly in place. The only iffy bit would be the snow, but it's there at least.

This game might be more fun if at least the readme tried to explain what everything did, and polished if there were an in-game tutorial of sorts.

Sadly, I'm lacking time to even give this game a just review, and from what I seen, I might be giving it too low of a score for overall as a result. I really wish my free time didn't end with the compo...
