Poor Bartolomeo has lost in the tundra. Help him to write his long message of help, while dodging polar creatures and fighting for *signal*, before the phone discharges.

Some tips:
!>1)Use the environment(bushes, trees, holes) to slowdown or confuse enemies.
2)Use holes to randomly travel map
3)Enemies can't get you on trees. Some signals better there.
4)Fox can be caught in corners.
5)You need a signal to type. With a better signal, the message will be sent faster.

Okay I laughed way too much about this guy going on and on about the beautiful aurora borealis and all manner of ridiculous inconsequential things while trying to get rescued and slowly running out of battery. Quality!

Great game with a fantastic atmosphere! I really felt the rush of a battery dying on you outside! To Bartolomeo, would you kindly get to the point already?! That was a fun gag.

By the way, I've noticed you haven't rated a lot of games yet. In order to get other people to notice your game, you need to go out there and leave ratings and comments on others' creations! Then it will get boosted by the algorithm.

cool game! very fun to play but I am annoyed by those polar foxes who ALWAYS STEAL MY PHONE!!!! Would like if you could trap them for good in those holes. But overall that was fun, also would like to have more sounds, but that's not a big deal

chasing the foxes to get my phone back gave me a good laugh, really funny animation! I was also really impressed with the hills and auroral, which I was led to in one of these chases

Nice jam game, i like visual and gameplay, it was fun but more challenges would be great as for now you could just stick on the tree and write almost full message by changing 3 of them.

Love the combination of frustration and humor. Sad there is no audio, but otherwise I feel like this is an amazing work for a solo project. Fits well with the theme and the game design is in check. I had hit a game breaking bug when you pull out phone at the same time it is getting snathced you loose control of your character. But overall - great work! c:

Hooray! I'm safe! :D

Great take on the theme. I like the straight forward-ness of your game. Feels simple to get started, has quite some things to explore, going on a mountain climb to look at colorful lights, playing tag with wolfes and climbing trees :) Very very cool entry, good job! Keep on making games :)

I successfully sent it. Really creative gameplay, and it’s not too difficult. The character talks a bit too much, though, haha.
