Thank you for playing it! The number refers to a sort of "wave" number, though the wave delay is something like 8 seconds from the last zombie spawn. In practice, it ends up being a more continuous experience lol.
That snowball reload mechanic is exactly the kind of thing I wanted to implement but didn't have time for. Similarly, I wanted to make the snowman rebuild the snow fort (i.e.. heal) after idling for some amount of time. But, that's just how jams go, I guess!

Thanks for the comment! You make great points. I originally planned to have a limit of snowflakes/bullets and then some sort of reload system, but I did end up cutting that. I didn't think of converting it to an automatic system after that, but I should have! The story is similar with the health. It was supposed to scale with wave number, but it was bugged and didn't work. At that point, I only had an hour or so left to submit so I just set it to 3HP and sent it, lol!
Thank you so much for the positive feedback about the zombie animation, it really means a lot!

Thanks! I appreciate the comment! I'm very pleased with the feedback I've received about the animation. It's something I have little experience with, so I didn't expect it to go over so well.
Admittedly, I haven't gone back to "ILL" since the jam finished - kind of wanted a breather :) BUT knowing that there is interest is big motivation, I'll try to get a build ready for release sometime soon!
