I had no idea destroying a bunch of snowmen with candy cane shurikens would be so much fun, especially when I am armed with a ton of upgrades. Excellent job on your jam submission!

Cool game! Fighting against the hoards of snowmen was fun and challenging. I really liked the graphics & audio; they really added to the game. Good job! :D

Had a lot of fun with this game!

Very fun game! I really like the upgrades and how they are presented. I had a hard time choosing which ones to take, which is good because they all sounded like good choices. Web build did indeed crash, but for quite a few minutes. 
Art and sound effects were great as well. Nice job

And now I need to look into Bevy haha

Man, I told myself "one more game before i go to bed"....  what a mistake that was.  here I am, an hour later, still playing!!!! /s.  God, that was fun. i don't know why i love this kind of game so much, but this scratched that itch so much.  lot's of fun.  I wish i had a health bar?  I had myself convinced that there was no actual health for my first ten minutes playing.  then i died.  that was sad.

Very much enjoyed the feeling of rolling around and mercilessly slaying snowmen to save the funny elf. Candy cane felt like more of a colour palette than a theme and the gameplay loop of rolling in a circle and aiming in the middle misses a bit in terms of engagingness. Certainly wins points for charming animation and a fun soundtrack

Love the vampire survivors kind of game play. I feel like it could have been tweaked to fit the themes better, but overall very solid foundation. I wish the game was playable on the web browser as downloading it is a pain and harder to get votes in.

We used bevy and rust and unfortunately could not get a web build, thanks for the feedback
