I really like the interactive title screen. The idea of shoveling snow off of the screen is fun and doesn't feel repetitive at all. The only thing missing for me are the sound effects, but overall, I had a blast!
The wait between levels is a little long.
Loved the music.
The game is quite fun! Hopefully the loading bug gets fixed. It reminds me of what I think was the first game I ever played, which had a similar concept, except it was a flash game. Very cool memory! Interesting music too.
for the snow ball spawning its just a script that moves an object position to a random point in a range, then spawns a snow ball then repeats for a set number of times, its just code in the update function.
ohhh that makes sense. you could try using a while loop that runs in Start() or OnEnable() something like (psuedocode, probably won't run)
public int snowballs=100;
void Start()
{
while(snowballs>0)//while loops can crash the UnityEditor if they get stuck so beware
{
Instantiate(snowballPrefab,position,rotation);
snowballs= snowballs-1;
}
}
this should execute in only 1 frame.
otherwise you're only spawning 1 snowball per frame by doing it in the Update() loop.
Also, you could decrease the z-coordinate of each snowball by like .001 per loop, that way they won't z-fight.
Thank you for the advice!
I like the idea, relaxing, but the wait between the levels is a little to long.
Really satisfying to clean the snow- waiting takes a little long but apart from that I really liked it :)
Very relaxing! Thank you so much for making this. Great game.
Game simple, but well done, and polished. Maybe I would reduce the time to wait at the begin of each level, it's too long to my opinion.
Also, I suggest you to remove the full screen button check on the itch settings. Unity has its own one in the template, and works better. You don't need that ;)
It's a fun concept but like previously stated waiting for the snowballs to show up takes a long time. I've had to hang out on other websites while I waited for the game to be ready. It could use an extra mechanic or two, maybe a zone that will create more balls if you toss it into or walls that you have to navigate because it does get a bit stale after a few rounds of doing the same thing. Nevertheless, great work! Keep it up!
Feels so satisfying to clean. Only drawback is that in the bigger levels we wait so long for the snow to rain. Maybe you could add an arcade mode were the player is able to clean the snow while it piles up. I also quite like the effect of revealing the background by cleaning the snow !
I always loved cleaning games :D, it's just kinda weird that you need to wait for the snow to pile up to clean it, and the music is kinda janky feels like a bunch of notes thrown together, but still, it's nice to see submissions like yours, pretty interesting game :)
