A very good game, the AI of the enemies is very well done, the design of the game (and the UI) is very cool, however, I noticed some optional aspects that the game could add:

1) A tutorial to tell you the controls (they were intuitive, but maybe for example I had the possibility to change the weapon between snowballs and lollipop (to save the snowballs for later) and I didn't know if I could do that.

2) The lollipop attack is good, but it's a bit strange that you have to stick to the enemy for it to take damage.

Thank you for playing and for your feedback!

AI is actually very primitive, basically just A* path finding with some waypoint randomization to make movements less predictable. I actually was surprised how well it worked for this game.

As for switching weapons and tutorial - those are good suggestions. I was planning to have key mapping configuration in settings, but just didn’t have time for it before the original deadline.

And as for candy cane: it delivers damage at the end of animation. It probably feels off just because the animation is not so good :)

Haha, funny snowman goes brrrr.

Seriously, visuals of the game are amazing. You did a great job!
Start sensitivity was a bit overkill for me, but you even made settings screen, so there was no problems with it.

There is still a lot of room for improvements and adding new features, so gameplay will be more saturized. Also, I think the game could be more juicy, pretty animations and snowball particles are a good start.

Funny game, good job!

Thank you for playing and providing your feedback!

I agree, such arcade-style game definitely needs more juice, but I just didn’t have time before the original deadline. I’m not an artist, and anything art related takes me ages to do, so only managed to make four particle effects in time :)

Fun little Wolfenstein like game ^^

And i like how you’ve spun the formula to make it into a Xmas game :p

visually the environements look really good with some nice texturing, and one detail i found nice as well is that you’ve made different height buildings and snowpiles, which helps a lot in avoiding the sometimes “same-ey” feel that wolfenstein style levels can have when they follow the strict limitation of a single ceiling height throughout all of the game.

The game starts becoming a bit hard after a while since you start back with just the candy cane to fight, which isn’t as good as the snowballs when fighting multiple enemies, i think it could be nice to have some available around the levels without requiring to kill snowmen to gain the weapon.

Other than that i didn’t have any particular issues with the game, it’s fun :)
