Nice simple game! This is an old game engine and maybe use a modern one but it's good never seen the game engine before!

Developer

Thank you! Believe it or not, the game engine I used is less than five years old. It’s a lowres game engine so it’s made to look old school.

God damn elves and trying to take over! Neat little game, I found you didn't have enough snowballs though. I also found the font very hard to read, I had to hit every kit on my keyboard to find duck and start.

Great work though!

Lol! thanks! 

The limited snowballs were my attempt at making it challenging (there's only 5 levels). I guess I made it too hard haha. You get more every level for each elf you knock down.

Thank you for the feedback on the font. Unfortunately with Pico-8 I'm limited in that respect as I have to use the built-in font, but I can make the colors contrast more to make it more readable. I'll definitely do that next time.

Thanks again!

Confused on how to make more snowballs (or if it is even possible). I really enjoyed the graphics for this game! My high score was: 130.

Thanks! You get new snowballs at the beginning of every level (one for every elf you hit).
