i love the waterpaint style on the title!
The gameplay is interesting, you play as both character and one can attack and one can gather.
I do think the chaoticness of trying to refill the snowball even though the snowpile is so far away can be quite fun
There's this one snowman that I absolutely hate, it's the one that spawn from the top left.
Because it move so fast it almost instantly got around behind house so I cannot shoot it, and it gets to the house almost everytime for me,
I love the idea of this game! The menu image is really nice, and the in-game graphics set the mood very well! I enjoyed the idea of needing to control these two characters, once I figured out what I was looking at.
The tutorial, I think, is a little vague. It didn’t click with me that I was controlling two characters, initially. Calling one of them a “collector”, I think, threw me off.
Once I figured it out… like I said, I really like the idea! That said, I feel the controls might not be the best. I say “feel” because I’m not sure if it’s that the controls weren’t the best, or maybe I just was really bad at the game, but, the need to collect both snow and wood, as well as deliver them to two different places (one of them being my mobile snow throwing character), was difficult enough, but at the rate the snowmen kept coming, it was all I could do to focus on either collecting and delivering wood or collecting and delivering snow. I didn’t feel I had the chance to do both… and that’s why I’m not sure if it’s a skill problem on my part.
Perhaps the rate at which the snowmen spawned and/or moved should ramp up over time. Alternatively, have them attack in waves. Give the player a little bit of a breather to collect wood to warm the house. I’m not sure.
Over all, I really liked this game! If you’d like to watch an rando on the internet suffer a lack of gamer skill, I played this game on my stream if you’re interested.
As the artist, thank you for such a detailed comment, and also for playing on stream! It's nice to see something you've worked on being reacted on live. Although the dev process has been pretty hectic, I've gotta say... That aside, we are planning to work further on the game and improve it, so if you want to give it a second chance, look forward to it! ⛄️❄️
Nice game! I really like the mechanics. Cute art and great music.
Cute art, fits the theme of better together too! Takes some time to get a grip of the gameplay, cool idea
Cool game! I like the idea of controlling two characters. Once I understood the controls and how to play, I had fun throwing snowballs at snowmen, which was very satisfying :)
