Help keep the ossan (Japanese for "Old Dude") warm so they can sleep!

Best enjoyed fullscreen with sound.

- Click and Drag to move the ossan around.

- Mouse Wheel: Rotate ossan.

- Ossan appear at the edges of the level. Drag them within range of the fire and they will start sleeping.

- As they sleep you can see how much time until they are rested.

- When ossan are rested , remove them from the fire range to score points.

- If you remove multiple rested ossan in quick succession you get a combo multiplier, this can dramatically increase your score.

- The fire slowly gets smaller. Logs appear at the edges of the level. Drag them into the fire to make it bigger.

- When ossan bump into each other they become less rested.

- If 10 or more ossan are out in the cold, it's Gameover.

It's beautiful

dankar13 Aug 2018, 17:13

Really well done and polished! Good job!

King Kujito13 Aug 2018, 19:16

Nicely done. Only got a score of 870.

megaqueijo14 Aug 2018, 03:01

Great game! Very polished. Love the art, music and sounds! I love the fact that you have to move your dudes with care to keep them happy!

Wheffle14 Aug 2018, 04:10

I played this game way longer than I meant to. It is oddly creepy yet intriguing. It's like tetris with people. I can't think of any obvious criticisms... well done!

B. Golda14 Aug 2018, 04:17

Addictive and really solid mechanically. Fantastic art and audio. Having them roll around a bit in their sleep might introduce an added level of difficulty as they knock each other about. Great game.

WrenPirate14 Aug 2018, 04:32

Here's my quibble: it's hard on my tendons to click-hold and rotate my mouse wheel after 72 hours of clickety-clicking on my own stuff. Oh, and I could do with more of an on-the-nose lullaby type music. I loved everything else about this game and gave it seven 5-star ratings.

shockeye14 Aug 2018, 04:59

This is a very polished game. Graphics and audio are great, fun mechanic.
So many different factors to tweak to keep the old dudes happy.

Alien14 Aug 2018, 06:50

This game is Hilariously awesome, Well polished and fun game!

ZnW14 Aug 2018, 14:21

Homeless rescuer simulator? Beautiful. 5/5. Keep your dudes warm.

Scott Steffesauthor14 Aug 2018, 14:43

@znw They weren't supposed to be homeless :P But they totally look homeless. I was hoping for more of a going out camping vibe. At least they're happy hobos!

Constantin14 Aug 2018, 16:04

Really incredible art! The gameplay is cool and relaxing even though I didn't really get how I made combos & stuff.

Scott Steffesauthor14 Aug 2018, 16:11

@constantin The combos just come from scoring points in quick succession. When you score a point, you have 4 seconds to score another point to continue the combo.

chaitae14 Aug 2018, 16:13

Scored 1030. This was such a great game. I was so engaged with this game. I felt bad when I couldn't put someone near the fire fast enough. I can't think much to critique about the core game play I think you guys got it covered. Really enjoyed playing it can't wait to see what else you guys do.

Andreadbx14 Aug 2018, 16:13

One of the best games i played so far, intresting idea and gameplay, but what shines a lot here is the mood, amazing, good job guys!

Tednesday14 Aug 2018, 16:14

There's something unbelievably creepy about this. Still a great game though. Did have an issue where they would get stuck together sometimes. Also I feel like it should rotate faster when I scroll the mouse wheel.

Daria S14 Aug 2018, 16:20

It's really nice! I liked the artwork and animation a lot :)

CaryStringfield14 Aug 2018, 16:23

Very funny.

Flower14 Aug 2018, 16:24

Very cool idea)

Bloc9714 Aug 2018, 16:27

Very fun concept, fits the theme very well. I think it wouldn't be far fetched to see this game being released for android tablets and ipads.

Eri14 Aug 2018, 16:39

Really funny! I like the artwork, animation and sounds!! The music is great too. Good job!

dimlight14 Aug 2018, 16:50

wow
This game is pretty awesome
Easy to master as well as challenging…
I only got 600+ score for the first time, and I'll try more times XD

devharts15 Aug 2018, 03:01

Really clever idea and great use of the theme! I was also relieved that the people's sleeping bags weren't flammable haha :D

BustosMan15 Aug 2018, 04:09

A very good game, but it seems that selecting the people is sometimes unresponsive and makes playing the game harder. It might just be my internet, though.

Scott Steffesauthor15 Aug 2018, 04:37

@bustosman Try the Windows version, it might be better.
Also, while the guys are animating onto the screen they can't be moved, so when the animation completes, they suddenly jump to your cursor.

My Sweet Whomp15 Aug 2018, 08:38

Great game overall! I'm not sure I have anything really constructive to say so I'm just going to congratulate you for your game. Cheers :heart:

kouchasan15 Aug 2018, 15:17

I gained a score of over 1690 points. Great. You can get a lot of score if you use Combo.XD

TomG16 Aug 2018, 12:58

Perfect.

schizoid2k16 Aug 2018, 17:55

Very nice. I loved the graphics and sound, and the noises made when ossan touch each other. Very unique game... congrats!

Erick Alves17 Aug 2018, 02:00

Nice

Ratherjolly17 Aug 2018, 03:40

Beautiful. I thoroughly enjoyed struggling to keep these old dudes warm. All of the little grunts and moans were brilliant as well as the styling of the animations. Great job! xD

titos2k17 Aug 2018, 10:01

"humhumhumhum in the winter in the winter" :smile:

audio is superb

titos2k17 Aug 2018, 10:21

oh one issue tho - cant rotate the guys on touchpad because there is no wheel to do so

Darylsteak17 Aug 2018, 11:09

A very nice game that was very well polish, the art style and graphics were also nicely drawn. Great job.

Bodom4ever18 Aug 2018, 00:09

Oh man I really like this. Such an interesting idea, I never would have thought of this! Very polished as well. Congrats, this game feels great!

Matank18 Aug 2018, 05:21

Music was amazing! Game was really fun, it gets very stressful very fast, in a good way. I was pretty bad at it though, best I could get was 580 points (couldn't get to the next level at 600 though I did try a bunch of times).

Great mood and visuals as well.

AceKugen18 Aug 2018, 05:37

Nice Game

Max Cahill18 Aug 2018, 05:46

Worked really well! I liked how much emergent "strategy" came out of such simple mechanics and the art added a lot to the mood and humour. Those big green fellas are a pain to wrangle though haha.

I'm a professional nuzzle attendant :blush:

SimoGecko18 Aug 2018, 07:40

very interesting premise! the game runs smoothly and it was very responsive. rotating the guys works well if you have a mouse and fitting them around the fire, moving those closer to the center outside as if they were barbecue was definitely fun! well done!

Brain Warm-up18 Aug 2018, 10:33

Interesting concept!

Lealoo19 Aug 2018, 00:04

It's so simple yet so entertaining. Music, sound and the fire make it so cozy and you just want to make all of them warm :D Very nice work.

Brandon JS Lea20 Aug 2018, 00:51

I think the circles in the middle of the men could have been a little better explained (I wasn't sure if it acted as HP or something similar) bu aside from that minor issue this game's good all across the board! I like that it isn't just a funny concept w/o any humor in the game (a mistake I see a lot), instead the visuals, sound effects and physics gameplay go a long way to build something funny and enjoyable beyond the simple concept.

saoi-games20 Aug 2018, 04:40

Thank you for sharing your game with me. I played it on my stream tonight at https://www.twitch.tv/saoigames

I have rated your game, but all of my feedback was captured in the stream. It was close to the end.

You can hear my comments in the archive at https://www.twitch.tv/videos/299357576?t=07h47m01s

Syrapt0r22 Aug 2018, 20:25

Pros:
- Beautiful graphics
- Nice soundtrack and voice acting
- Amazing gameplay

Cons:
- Can get very stressful after a while ^^

One of my favorites! Nice work!

blinry23 Aug 2018, 08:05

Haha, cute and original idea! The mechanics are simple, but give emergence to quite intricate strategy. I love how everything plays together from the logs which you have to leave room for, to the score multiplier which gives the game rhythm, if used well. The graphics and sound effects are really neat! One of my favorite games this LD!

folex7023 Aug 2018, 14:39

its a 5/5 game! Congrats for this beautiful work!!

Bartosz30 Aug 2018, 02:52

Quite funny, well done, lot of polish but i didn't see how much of 'old people' were out of the fire ring, so it was suprise to me when i lost - maybe there should be some big in your face 'counter' with screen shake or something.
I got 1200 points, record is 1400 so i'm proud of myself :)

Simple gameplay and graphics are great! Good job!

Nam Nguyen30 Aug 2018, 02:56

I got 710 points :smile: A really lovely game, the difficulty is just right on, not making you frustrated and still keep it challenging to play. The music really helped to add the mood to the game. Very solid entry, good job!

jordantanner30 Aug 2018, 08:54

Great proof that a simple concept can be fun. I think I need to learn from this small scope; I always scope too large. Interesting layering of the vocals in the BG track too-- again, not what I would do, but has an interesting appeal. Nice work.

Firesplash Entertainment30 Aug 2018, 18:20

cool idea

Barrier1 Sep 2018, 07:48

This is a really good game! Easy to understand and play, difficulty curve is just right. Art is really good and funny!

danielblanco3d1 Sep 2018, 10:20

Nice art and music!

siimer1 Sep 2018, 11:18

When I first started I didn't realize that you had to remove the rested old men from the fire (that's what you get for not reading the tutorial), so at the end I had everything full of rested men and then I just swept them all out and got a massive combo bonus :D

The second time I played I couldn't even get near to that by managing old men normally.

Anyway, It was a great game. Gave off really cozy vibes. You should develop it a bit further and then even maybe sell it somewhere.

Lu7cie1 Sep 2018, 13:57

Nothing to say ! Great art, great idea, great audio and sound design, respected the theme, humor, mood, innovative and easy to play ! Great job !

Shakedimus3 Sep 2018, 22:10

Nice mood and graphicts and the gameplay although simple is actually quite fun. Nice job!

MartinTristan4 Sep 2018, 03:38

pretty cool game. i like the graphics and the little details in each character. the gameplay is pretty sweet. easy to pick up, challenging, and addicting. the use of the theme is great and very creative! the music is also spot on, adding to the mood of the game. the dragging mechanic was okay but i found it hard to rotate them using the mouse wheel. the wood sometimes get stuck with the ossans. this could be really big if you develop it further! overall, a great game for this LD!

ursagames4 Sep 2018, 11:20

Definitely one of my favorite games out of the 200+ that I streamed. It was very enjoyable and chill. Also that man in the winter song is amazing. Thanks for sharing your game with my stream awhile back. Your game was played around 1:53 into this vod: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/299401837
