It's a good concept that could become a great game with a few more days of work. Well done!

Its a fun concept, I can see how adding some punchy sound effects, a faster gameplay in general and maybe more weapons could make it a banger. Good work!

The game needs a lot of polish, especially when it comes to bugs, sound effects and animation, but the art is nice. I would change the color of the UI for the hearts, as  I did not see it because it blended in with the background so well. Adding healthbars for the enemies and bosses would also be helpful. The concept was interesting.

The concept was dope just needed a bit of polish. I could just run through all the rooms and kill noone, as well as the shooting was buggy. Though I loved the theme and with a bit more time it would of been a ton of fun I loved the idea. Also maybe making the main character smaller of a different sprite than snowman would have felt better given the size of the level. Loved the interpretation, idea, and direction, felt just like it needed more time to finish the vision.

I liked the core concept, just needed a bit more on the execution.  I think being able to throw the snowballs a bit faster would feel better - maybe make it an upgrade.  I navigated maybe 10 rooms before hitting the game freezing bug.

Yeah I really can't stand the crash bug. There is no reason it should be happening, theres nothing in the code that should cause it to happen, and yet it does. And thats a good idea about adding snowball speed to the upgrades menu. I was really out of ideas when it came to upgrades cause I only had a few hours left with other more important things to do and I did wanna upgrade the snowballs in adding different abilities like throwing three snowballs at a time or being able to rapid fire the snowballs but time constrains got me on it.

I really liked the sprites but had a tough time throwing the snowballs because they would only come out the bottom. A directional snowball throw would be really helpful!

Im glad you liked the sprites. I had a really fun time making them. I gotta say though that the Flame Goblin is my favorite. Only because he just walks up to the snowman and just pokes you with his torch. And noted on the whole snowball thing. That would make things easier.
