This game was surprisingly fun given how simple it is :)
I played it for way longer than I should have and in the end I let the snowmen get me just to see the game over screen :P I haven't played part 1 yet, but I'm gonna go check that out to see where you started.
I enjoyed the sound. It works well with the survival theme and doesn't get boring. It was also easy to understand and the instructions were very clear.
- Some feedback
I couldnt work out a win condition. Is there a way to win? Maybe something as simple as a count of how many snowmen you have killed would be enough. Then you could keep track of a highscore/leaderboard.
There is no incentive to walk anywhere. Once you have worked out that there is no exit and no collectables you can just stand still and shoot. Maybe it would be good to hide or randomly spawn health boosts that the player needs to look for.
The snowmen coming at you are good. But again walking has no impact on them. Most snowmen come at a good angle so you can shoot them from any distance, but some of them come at an angle and you cant get them until they are closer. If this is on purpose to make it more difficult, then that is working well. However I would expect walking to change the angle between the snowman and the player. It could be a very slow change, like walking for a long distance by the player might only make a small different to the snowman approaching, but having some control to better line up the shot would give the player a sense of satisfaction and achievement.
Hitting the snowman with a shot works. However it feels a little bit off, like the timeing is a bit delayed (sometimes you think that the shot didnt hit for a second and then realise that it did). Hard to explain. Some improvements here might be that the bullet disappears when it hits the snowman rather than going through them or maybe moving the collider slightly closer to the player so the hit happens a bit earlier? I dont know what would work here, but maybe some small tweaking would improve the effect.
Difficulty - It is quite easy to play once you have worked out the controls. You could play this game for a long time and not lose. Maybe the snowmen should speed up as time goes on. Or you could have "waves" of snowmen where suddenly you have lots before it slows down again, giving you a chance to find health boosts between waves.
- Final thoughts
Overall I enjoyed this game. It is REALLY impressive given how little time you spent on it. I think with a clear win condition, and a difficulty modifier, this would be really re-playable. Well done!
