The basic idea works, but I found that snowball were flying around way too fast and way too haphazardly, and this made projectile avoidance more luck than skill based imo.

The pixel graphic characters were really well done!

Super cool!  I noticed that this game was inspired by Enter the Gungeon which I loved playing and this game did remind me of it.  For the gameplay, I think the enemy projectiles would benefit from being slightly slower but have more of them fire at once.  This may give the player a bit more time to react while still engaged in dodging so it feels less cheesy when you get hit.  I also loved the cutscene art and the epilogue at the end!  Nice work!

Thanks for the feedback, and after making a version with the changes you suggested, I can say I absolutely agree. I just released a "balance" patch; I'm not sure if the game will be more difficult like this but I believe that it would feel less cheesy to get hit now.

Big fan of Tenma of Brick and Snow. Really enjoyed the cutscenes.
