way to hard to play... took me a few moments to figure out how to play
Kongregate is being a pain and won't let me see the advertisement in order to actually play your game :(
It's a really cool idea using the letters "S,N,O,W,M,A,N" in order to control the character. However, it felt really awkward having to hold your fingers on all the spread out keys at the same time. This made the controls a bit of a double edged sword. As for difficulty i feel you know my opinion already, holy crap it's so hard, i made it a few meters at best. But thanks to the ability to very quickly retry and instantly be in action, it motivates you to keep trying, which is really neat! All in all, it's a cool game (pun intended).
Very hard! I really like the art, but I don't think you used the theme :(
This is why this theme is confusing, because I feel like it is a one screen game.
Hi there. I just could not figure out how to control the snowman. Needs an easy difficult level for the reflex challenged person like me... Nice winter sounds and 'splats' on dead snowman (which happened a lot).
It won't load in chrome and wants to install flash in firefox. Sorry, can't play/rate.
(other unitiy games work in chrome no problem - not sure if this is unity, thought so because of the kongregate comment.)
@Jan are you on Mac or PC? Mac and chrome are having problems with Unity, not sure why it isnt working for you. You might have to allow the plugin to run for kongregate? some people dont see the popup.
And I thought QWOP was ridiculously hard.
As you had stated, this game does test your patience. With the control so spread out, it was very difficult to do much. In all honesty, it felt like a more difficult QWOP, but it seems like you were going for that. I will admit that it was kind of funny to see the snowman fall apart.
QWOP was fun because even when you failed, it was funny to watch, and you felt like maybe you could get somewhere if you just did things a little different. This one misses both of those marks. The death animation is just two circles falling down, no crazy flips or bizarre ragdoll limbs flailing around. After about five minutes with the controls trying to suss out how to get him to advance, I ended with a high score of about 4 meters. I see what you were going for here, I just don't think you got the controls down well enough to pull it off.
The graphics are really nice though, and the sound effects provide just enough without being overbearing. It does seem like you intended this for a different theme though.
Looks lovely, but it's hard to the point of frustration.
After a handful of goes I still have no idea what I'm doing.
Good job though.
This game is slightly confusing to me, and is brutally hard. Its a shame because your game looks nice and plays nice. Nice job on the game :)
Very QWOP. Can't QWOP. So can't SNOWMAN. 6m is max. Well Done.
Oh, boy. The sequel nobody wanted! (kidding, kidding) Very slick animation and physics. I mean, I think; all I saw was the snowman, I never got far enough to see anything else. ;P Looks good though!
