Liked the main character.  Found the background a bit too white. I assume the snow I fell through was intentional, but it reminded me of a travel commercial that is shown here (Canada) where a man falls waist-deep into snow and the travel gnome shows him how to &quot;escape winter&quot; by using his travel site and then gives him a sand-bucket shovel to dig himself out with."},{"author_name":"kddekadenz","author_uid":"10000","time":"Feb 26, 2013 @ 5:58pm","epoch":1361901180,"text":"@Smebb: In the web version there is no sound.

The graphics are nice, the audio sets the mood along with the snow. Collecting tweets is simple and fun.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The collision was jumpy. GM can take some time to get collision down properly. Also the problem with the built in GM effect system is that it spawns the entire map, this is why you had lag issues with the snow. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>If you ever need any help or advice with GM:S you can find me on Steam.
