Controls are responsive and the action is fast, so it makes for some minutes of fun. After the first stages of "acceleration" it lacks something to keep you intersted, but devs probably thought better to make the game solid and more polished, which it is, instead of cramming in buggy features. Only thing that bothered me was lack of feedback when getting hit, other than that it's a quick and fun game

Thanks for playing and for your comment🙂! Yes, the truth is that I need to add a lot of gameplay and feedback to the player. It is my first game and I learned things as soon as I needed them. At least the basic mechanics are present. It is a prototype that shows the concept of the game. I'm glad you liked it despite these details and I hope to keep improving for future games😄.
Great Game. I really like the snow effect when you walk throgh it. The graphics are just amaizing and the gameplay is fast and fun. It would be nice if there is a better indicator when the player gets damaged, and for the future maybe a random map and some variation in the snowmanns. Like small and fast snowmanns and bigger and slow ones, with more health. But overall a amazing game :)

Last FarmHi! Thanks for playing and for your comment 😄. Yes, the original idea was to do something a bit more procedural, (placement of the trees and structures) and even diferent stages to progress and get weapons over snowmen waves. But since I am studying, my time was shortened and I had to remove some things to have a prototype of the idea published in time (and make the player be able to use both weapons at start). I also need to polish the enemies (make variation for melee and range combat) and the feedback to the player. The truth is that I focused a lot on the visual (day snow deformation and night ilumination and glow) and less on the technical because i'm better in that i guess. Thanks for the feedback 🙂, it helps me learn and make better games in the future! Regards!
Really nice fast pace shooting game.
The only problem I had with the game was that I couldn't tell when I was getting it. It wasn't clear to me in the snowman animation at which moment I was taking damage. adding some telegraphing, or visual queue would have been a big plus!

Pumpkin Planner 2021Hi, Thanks for playing 😄! Yes, you are right, the attack animation with the "attack()" method itself is out of sync. To be honest I'm still learning about designing good juicy feedback. Thanks for the comment, it helps me to correct errors in future projects, I am glad that despite this you have enjoyed it 🙂. Have a good day!
I enjoyed it a lot! The visuals are amazing and the game is really entertaining. There's some performance issues but no big deal. Congrats on a great entry, the game needs more attention from the people!

NOM NOM - Great Autumn JamGreat idea! I played it about six times before I got tired of the application losing focus/minimizing because my cursor clicked off the screen. Honestly, I love these kinds of games and would've kept playing it if not for that.
