Solid mechanics and a great visual style and general vibe! Really enjoyed playing this. There's a little bug where clicking once doesn't seem to throw a snowball, but clicking multiple times works, but that's okay! I really liked the dynamic between throwing snowballs and having to regenerate them. I think it works well, but this dynamic does scream for some kind of cover for me to duck behind while making new balls, so that I am not a sitting duck waiting to be hit by enemy snowballs. The difficulty was a bit steep imo, with enemies spawning quite quickly and in large numbers. I didn't have much time to build snowmen myself, but when I did it felt great. I thinkn that was a great addition to the game, especially the feature to build HUGE snowmen! I think this feature would benefit from implementing some sort of waves system into the game, where there is some sort of downtime between the waves. In this time you could build and upgrade some snowmen, much like in a tower defence game. I'm not sure if there's a way to regain health, but otherwise that'd be a good addition too. Maybe an enemy has a x percentage chance of dropping a candy cane which gives you health? But all in all, a really solid game and lovely artstyle and audio + music! Well done team!
Thanks for the extensive feedback!
Great concept. I can see the game being really fun when the control bugs get fixed. I like how you can make snowmen and make them fight for you. Nice job.
Very fun and original, but as pointed out a few problems with the controls, but that's the way of the jam, a little update and it'll be super addictive!
Great concept, but the controls are difficult to understand and unresponsive.
Sorry you had difficulty with the controls. It is a common issue. Thanks for playing!
This is a really fun concept. I liked building snowmen that fight for me while dodging the enemy attacks. I struggled to keep up with the enemy spawn rate though; pretty quickly got to a stage it wasn't survivable for me anymore. But I have fun getting to that point!
Overall cool game but the controls were difficult to understand and sometimes I felt like I should be picking up the snowballs but it didn't move them.
good game, the idea of creating snowman minion for you is pretty fun,
The music is really nice, it had a great cozy vide to it.
Firing snowball barely work for me and snowman is the only reliable way to fight, well I guess you already know that.
thanks for the feedback and for playing our game!!
Yeah the snowball thing is an issue. You mainly just have to spam the left mouse button to get them to work
very fun game
Nice game, love the snowman building and them fighting for you!
That was a pretty awesome glitch. Even though I read your instructions, the universe made me click "retry" out of muscle memory, and glad I did. That was ALOT of snowmen!!! Cool art and great vibe.
the snowmen hoard glitch definitely scared me the first time too--thank u so much for playing!!
I am sure this game will be in top 5. pretty good idea, love it.
Thanks
Great idea, the controls are a bit tricky at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's a lot of fun.
Merci! J'aime ton consiel.
Such a fun game. I was so absorbed in playing I hardly noticed when 15 minutes had passed. Great game. Just wish I could do things a little faster as, eventually, you get pushed into the corner and are unable to move because of your own snowmen, the enemies, and the leftover snowballs. Great stuff though, and proof that a game doesn't need to be overly fancy to be a great experience.
Thanks for playing!
