I love the aesthetics and the Sound design/Music of this game. Great job!

well nice game, tho it was laggy for me

Very impressive. The only suggestion I could offer is a more clear indication on the snowman when the shield is active. Looks great. Sounds great. Plays great otherwise.

The visuals and audio was very well done! My only gripe was the lack of snowballs. I felt like most of the time I was just hunting for more ammo to pelt snow men with and it took a bit away from the gameplay. Still a fun game and a good submission! Well done!

Cool game! <no pun intended> This and Die Hard at xmas! ;)
I think if there were a few more ways to collect snowballs, maybe some destructable scenery and a bit of jumping over benches/ice puddles things could be even cooler.
I enjoyed!

Developer

We'll definitely be making it easier to get snowballs in an update after the voting period ends, and a destructible environment does sound pretty neat, I wonder what the game would be like with that. Thanks for playing

Really enjoyed this one, great use of the theme and nice movement and mechanic controls! I did have a difficult time finding more snowballs sometimes, though, so it would be nice to see more spawn points for them added - you definitely go through them way faster than you can find them, especially as the number of enemies starts to increase, haha. Nice job overall, it was very cute!

Thanks for the feedback, our goal was for the player to mainly use the absorb ability (spacebar) to gain snowballs, rather than primarily getting the snowball pickups. But I agree its a bit too limited on how many snowballs you get, I plan to release a small gameplay update after the voting period to improve this aspect of the game. Thanks for playing :D

The movement is well polished tbh. I had fun even just running away from enemies.

Almost a literal snowman armageddon, quite entertaining :D

Thanks for playing, I'm glad you enjoyed it

The game really gave me a Christmasy feeling.
For me the number of other snowmen quickly became overwhelming in comparison to the ammo.
Overall very nice experience. :)

Developer

That Christmas feel is exactly what we wanted and to combine it with some kind of bullet hell in a sense. But I agree the ammo comes in a bit too slow, after the voting phase I plan to release an update with a few gameplay adjustments like this. Thanks for playing and the feedback :D

Personally, I love winter and snow and it's so cool to play a game with Christmas atmosphere in summer. It reminded me of my childhood memories when I used to play snowballs with my friends)

Developer

I'm glad we could capture those memories, it was a fun game to make
