Super nice game, controls felt smooth despite me playing on a laptop, graphics are nothing astonishing but it does the job,  all in all your game is good in all areas but doesn't innovate enough which you mentioned in the end, also adding a horde system or taking away the ammo to make a bullet hell style game would be nice because it is too difficult

Seems we had similar concepts! Idea is sound and movement is fluid, I'd maybe do away with the ammo idea and just keep it unlimited! I just feel a little more time could be added between spawns as I ended up with a rather big horde!

Thank you for playing my game. It does get crazy, after x amount spawn the spawn timer drops by a second. I did like the big horde but I guess it can be over powering. For the ammo I could try a system where your ammo replenishes over time, kinda like plasma rifles in other games have it slowly recharge/replenish constantly. I will need to try that out when I get some free time.

Satisfying shooting, though there should be a way to get more bullets when you run out. Also I think my hitbox was a bit wonky because I was taking damage from enemies who seemed quite far away. Was fun to play anyway, probably just needed a little more polish.

Developer

Thanks for playing, I wanted to balance the amount the stand gave a bit more but I ran out of time, with hit boxes if the snowmen hit the sleigh or if you shoot the sleigh you also take damage, the plan was to have a separate health bar for the sleigh and the player to make that mechanic a bit more obvious. But didn't get around to doing that either. All possible future additions.

Pretty good! At one point I ran out of bullets completely which was pretty much a death sentence, but otherwise it's a great start for a game. You could totally add more enemies who behave differently, and different power-ups or guns.

First of all well-done mate. Publishing a game in tame is already hard. And you did it. About the game, it is fun and can be improved with rewards or impact effects.

Never though snowmen could be...so...mean...*disappointed*
It was cool ! easy to grasp, hard to master, the 3D is nice and serves the game well. Music is good too, I enjoyed it ! With a bit more time, I think a bit of animation on the snowmen would have been...so great !

I had fun with this!  The gameplay is simple and easy to learn, but there was just enough strategy and reflex involved to keep me engaged while I played.   The difficulty also scaled really nicely, and it was entertaining to be chased around by a giant horde of snowmen in the last moments.  The game is pleasing to look at and listen to, and I really appreciated the detail of enemy hats changing color to indicate health.  The only issue that stood out to me was a lack of meaningful upgrades (shooting speed didn't seem to make any difference in my playstyle), but that comes with the time constraints of a game jam.  Overall, well done, and congratulations on submitting a fully playable game!

Developer

Thank you for playing my game, I agree with your point on the upgrade system, I wanted a system where once you killed a certain amount of enemies, you upgraded your gun style, so from pistol to shotgun, up to assault rifles, possibly a mini gun, would need to scale the enemy drops at the same time or ammo would go in the blink of an eye. But I didn't have time to add that and also didn't want to force the player down a gun play style route they might not enjoy. I could possibly have another stand or maybe interact with the sleigh to change guns once you unlock them. Definitely want to add more to this game in the future, won't be a full game but a few extra features and some balancing would be nice to add.

A fun top down shooter! I love the snowman! It was scary when you ran out of ammo~! Luckily there's that spot to go get more snowflakes!
