The other parents are absolute thieves. They are trying to take Snowby, the absolute best toy around from you, and ruin Christmas!

Nice graphics, simple gameplay.
Took me three tries to understand why was my christmas ruined but when I got that I started PUNCHING
EAT MY FISTS
The idea is solid, having to protect something makes it more interesting.
The pixel art is decent, i would personally make consistent outlines to improve the look.
The gameplay feels a bit unpolished,.
Considering this is your first game and we had only 2.5 days all the above is just nitpicking.
Amazing work!
Funny little game with great pixel art. Would love to see more feature in it like upgrades or so.
For a jam its a great work !
Solid pixel art, and good gameplay.
10/10 would save my frosty friend from the bullies again
I loved:
- The throwing of hands. My favorite feature for sure.
- The concept of an Alamo-style game against parents that are thieves. Makes you feel like it is the Kids Next Door.
- The movement was very intuitive.
- Love that the snowman moves with you.
I would improve the following:
- The mouse aiming was not too intuitive for me. Maybe add a target to the cursor?
- The parents surprised me when running around. Maybe a warning from which direction they are heading?
Wow, that is some great feedback and ideas! I think that the target and the directional warning would make it a lot better, for sure! We also want to add "power-ups" to have more powerful weapons or fists. We thought about mace (cloud of smoke that removes the parents) and maybe about a shotgun that shoots multiple bullets (or fists).
Hm, a really nice idea of a top-down shooter, where you have to protect something instead of just fighting for yourself. Neat. A bit unpolished, but really fun!
The attacking in this game is the textbook definition of throwing hands, 10/10
the pixel art is really good, but i wish the punch was not so long and had more of a impact. only other thing is that the snowman is really hard to control, and a lot of times, he just threw himself in the spawn points of the enemies, so some way of controlling him would be cool
Honestly pretty fun! The pixel art is very nice and the game is quite challenging in a good way :)
