Nicely done! I liked the enemy creativity, thought it was pretty funny that the sledding snowman cried every time you hit him :P

Ugh mediafire

anyway its a cute game with cute sounds, it jumps in difficulty pretty quick and the action controls are a tad odd, but once you get over that, its an amusing game

I changed the mediafire link to a Dropbox one~

Nice little game, fun for a while.

Cute, cute, cute. The artwork is really perfect. I loved the take on the theme, which just goes to show how much the backstory is important - explaining that you use the enemy AS the weapon makes the difference.

The game got very hard, very quick, and I didn't last long. Solidly done, though, and I liked the sounds too.

Thanks for the feedback everyone.~ Sorry about the jump in difficulty. I rushed the spawns for people to get a chance to see the variety of enemies I made and didn't have much time to balance things. x_x

Very cute! And I love penguins!

Nice character sprite, movement feels right, several enemy types

Little tip for parallax scrolling - the further back the layer is, the more slowly it should scroll - your background layers seemed to be moving faster than the foreground, which didn't quite look right

Woops, I was only focused on the front mountains moving faster than the back mountains that I didn't realize they were moving faster than the water and everything else =<

I found myself without snowballs waiting to die, other than that, great game & funny death sound :)

Well done! This is a fun game, a bit hard at first but leaving room for the player to improve. I haven't managed to go past the semi-big snowmen yet; somehow I get three of them at the same time, unlike in your video where it looks much easier!

I like the ability to change ammo into health, which makes for a bit of strategy.

The parallax scrolling is a nice touch :). The instruction screens are good, sound too (though I didn't get to hear it under Wine.) With a cute upbeat music on top of that, it would be great.

I don't think this is really what the theme is supposed to be about, though.

Oh, and maybe there could be a way to gain a snowball ball (by scraping the floor?) when there's none left. And I thought the collision boxes were relatively unforgiving (hard to jump over the semi-big snowmen). And I'd liek to be able to jump with UP.
