The projectile system seems really solid and I like the way enemy's slide backwards when you hit them.

gemberkoekje 2013-12-16 08:36

Fun game, also the first game which really did something smart with the theme :)

Awesome game. Reminded me of a friendlier and more complete version of mine. The perfect word to describe it is "Solid".

mrvanderpants 2013-12-16 09:26

This is great! The sound when you hit someone gives the game a real solid feel

Great game,it's a little weird to use the spacebar and x,I would have preferred Z for jumping and X for shooting but It doesn't matter much

geti 2013-12-16 10:33

Throwing felt really good, as did the enemy (and self) response to the snowballs.

Really nice game. I like how the scarfs are flying around :)

Snowball deathmatch! Pretty nice

dqmhose 2013-12-16 16:19

Well, technically you get more than one snowball, but omg this game is great. Love it. So much fun.

coblynau 2013-12-16 16:59

Really fun to play, could imagine doing this multiplayer over a local network. :)

moop 2013-12-16 18:47

Nice game, and keeping snowballs out of enemy hands can get quite tactical.

blushine 2013-12-17 09:52

Simple yet satisfying gameplay. I love all the little details like how dead enemies slide around and the scarves wave. It's kind of annoying when enemies drop on top of a snowball or vice versa and you die really fast, but it's fun when an enemy drops right in front of you for an easy kill. I would love to see a multiplayer version of this, even if it's just local multiplayer.

fenixin 2013-12-17 11:37

This game is FUN! Simple but very funny!

I would love to see this in multiplayer and with some kind of base or snow fortress!

lilinx 2013-12-17 11:53

I like the look of it. Scarves look great. Incredible how this little detail brings life up to an otherwise static layout.

Everything goes very smooth... I like the music also.

NB I hear a windows error sound each time I press the spacebar

ohfiddlediddle 2013-12-17 11:59

Cutest game I have played so far.
So great, and suprisingly fun. Well done. :D

zconnelly13 2013-12-17 16:07

Oh. My. Gosh. SO GOOD. Definitely one of my favorites so far ^_^ the sound and knockback are so clutch!

stmatn 2013-12-17 16:46

This makes me want to start a snowball fight :D
Cool and well executed idea. I love the wiggling of the scarfs!
The sound sets the mood very well.
Thumbs up!

jellycakes 2013-12-17 20:54

Really cool, you should definitely add multiplayer to this because it'd make for a really fun hectic deathmatch. Really nice work on this, pretty damn addicting. Good game!

megaelliott 2013-12-17 20:59

Cool game bro, stellar mechanics, stellar graphics, very fun to MLG 360 no scope some nubs. Only problem was lag later on. Also, a really cool feature would be to let enemies team kill each other, would make for some epic plays

berzee 2013-12-18 03:30

Most satisfying snowball-thwacking since Calvin and Hobbes. :D Mrs. Berzee was watching over my shoulder and shouting WATCH OUT FOR THAT GUY. So, fun for the whole family. :P

(alas, I haven't any constructive suggestions -- well, aside from the obvious "more levels" and some kind of silly Story Mode that delves into the psyche and origins of our mysterious hero...).

sadiquo 2013-12-19 17:37

Lot of fun to play this game ;)

flyinpig5 2013-12-19 17:39

This is almost the greatest game ever made. If jump was up, not space it would be better. That is my only complaint. :p

I will play this for eternity.

jaymeemak 2013-12-19 21:23

Can't play, mac

espyo 2013-12-19 21:27

That was really fun to play! There's a strategic element, but also a random one. Hitting others with snowballs and counter-attacking their missed shots is really satisfying.

zhrack 2013-12-19 21:31

AWESOME! Awesome theme interpretation, i love the audio feedback of a kill...and that scarf! Great job!

stvr 2013-12-20 01:32

A lot of fun!

goerp 2013-12-20 18:53

Ah snowball carnage. I couldnt resist a title like that. Little Southpark children (or should I say sitting ducks?).
I liked the music, relaxed and not something you hear a lot on a Ludum Dare unless it was found on the internet.
Is it midi?

moist 2013-12-20 18:59

Thank you for rating, everyone!
@goerp: Yes, it is midi and it as generated using this awesome online tool: http://www.abundant-music.com/

Solid gameplay, fun entry. :)

rothens 2013-12-20 21:49

I love this :D

shellfishgames 2013-12-21 13:36

What a nice game! So simple yet so fun. Really well done. :) A snow falling effect would have been nice, but other than that there's nothing I'd change. I just spent at least 20 minutes with it and had a lot of fun, great work!

colapsydo 2013-12-21 14:59

The game was fun.
Nice job on the snowball ballistic.
I found the AI pretty good, maybe too good, you don't have too much chance if you are close to one of them.

timtipgames 2013-12-21 15:04

Had a lot of fun playing the game, can't say often enough how awesome the red scarf is :) The game could need some powerups to add variations to it :)

kibertoad 2013-12-22 01:49

Fast, fun gameplay with an interpretation of theme that works.

fussycashew 2013-12-23 00:29

Very fun game! Reminds me of a game I got sent in one of those forwards from grandma years ago, but your game is much better than it ;)

Thanks for submitting your game to the compilation as well!

archaeometrician 2013-12-23 03:46

Cool game ! I like the throwing physic ! Nice job !

nelien 2013-12-24 23:34

Who cares about gameplay, look at those SCARVES! :P But no really, quite fun.
