The Prancing PenguinNice work! :)
Visual
The game is so pleasing to look at, great job on the artwork, and the cutscenes! That's incredible work here :)
Audio
The soundtrack is really cool! I just miss a little SFX when I'm hit by a snowball, or when I win :)
Tutorials
Unfortunately no tutorials :( I struggled a lot to start my first game :c
Gameplay
- The "adapt game to music" is not that uncommon, but I personally like that aspect a lot! Having you prototyping it during a game jam is incredible work :)
- I liked that we have to survive only a certain amount of time!
- Simple controls but challenging game!
- Maybe a little too much snowballs? I often find myself unable to avoid them :(
Fun
The game is really fun! I liked that ambiance, the art, the music, the gameplay. I had a great time here :)
Bugs
The game gave me a hard start, with a few bugs that made it completely unplayable :(
- During the cutscene, while in my ship, I thought the game started and tried to press multiple keys to understand how to move, what to do, how to shoot (until I realized I couldn't), etc. It made the game do hard resets (the cutscene appeared once again from the beginning).
- The sound restarted too sometimes when I pressed keys during the cutscene
- When I finally decided not to touch anything anymore, the game could play correctly, BUT the other instances of the game were still playing too. I had way too many snowballs from that moment and couldn't play anymore (I had like 5-6 games shooting at me at the same time), + the blizzard from the first instance)
- I still managed to win, by staying on the bottom right (there are no snowballs there)
- I launched the game once again to enjoy the game correctly (without 5 instances of the game). The only bug I perceived on this run is a glitch with the ending cutscene, the path of the enemy looks like teleports. And there are some parts without any snowballs, too.
Theme
GIVE ME MY SURPRISES BACK è.é In the theme, that's a yes for me :)

SurpriseWow *-* Thank you so much for full review!! I think, it will really help me in the future.
All bugs you found, were founded by me too, but I didn't know can I fix them or not after the jam ended. Sorry for that.
From the other hand, I see the game brought positive emotions to you, and it means the 48 hours of develop weren't wasted :)
Thanks)
Really cool, love the cutscene, the art, everything. Great work!

The Naughty KidsWow, really, an intro cutscene! That is so cool! It looks amazing, really good work. Though definitely do a lot of playtesting next time, since you can easily win the game by just standing in a corner haha.

Santa Clicker TycoonThanks for the review 😊 Your comments are valid. In fact, the snowball spawn is tied to the background music spectrum analyzer, the parameters of which were selected a little incorrectly.. So, there was not enough time for selection, and it was decided to create the safe zone for not-ultramegasuperhardcore bullethell players. 😌
The presentation is absolutely top notch. I did find a way to cheese (hide in the bottom right corner), but I did stick around for a while just because of the sound and visuals. Overall very solid :D

Running Vs ChatIntro was amazing, you should add a timer to the game so people can try to beat highscores!
