I'm getting a 404 on the drop box link.

interface 2014-12-09 02:25

Web link isn't working... I'll try again later.

alendro 2014-12-09 17:37

Web link not working, try posting the link again. If dropbox doesn't work, try google drive

christinaneofotistou 2014-12-09 18:37

Thanks everyone! Was super tired obviously. Should work now <3

otrorainteractivo 2014-12-09 19:19

This looks really promising. You got something there. The enemies animation shows the potential of the game.

juniorus 2014-12-09 19:48

:3 I hope you'll develop a more advanced game based on this concept. And as always, the art is adorable!

adventureislands 2014-12-09 21:03

Really cute, great art and music. I hope you develop this further, I want to see the full game!

benjamin-soule 2014-12-09 23:50

I wish you had more time for the game and also for the story this intro is really cute.

deepnight 2014-12-10 00:00

It's really sad you couldn't finish your entry, the art is super good, and the chara design is great :)
And to be honest I like the fact that your story involves women in a more mature way than the traditional bimbo cliché. That's a nice change, thank you :)

eerongal 2014-12-10 01:23

Seems like with a bit of polish and obviously completing it, could be a pretty solid beat-em-up. Art style reminds me a lot of the scott pilgrim side scroller game. Good work!

rono 2014-12-10 01:29

Too bad you didn't complete it. What I tested I loved it :) reminds me of Scott Pilgrim vs The World + Steven Universe.

theomg 2014-12-10 01:31

Awesome art and music, loved the special attack ideas.
Would love to play a more complete version of the game, hope you can develop it further.

rushout-games 2014-12-10 01:39

The enemy sprite and animations are just amazing, the intro was really nice too! Really hope that you can finish this game later!

thopis 2014-12-10 01:44

I love your works, great style Christina!I had fun with Super Snow Girl's special powers too :P

cdwaddell 2014-12-10 01:44

Like this one quite a bit. I don't know what is going on. I'm at a grave for my girlfriend and then boom snow ghost dudes are ripe for killing. Nice graphics, tight proof of concept. I'd like to see where it goes.

spacedoubt 2014-12-10 01:49

Feels really nice. Finish it! :)

teameagle 2014-12-10 02:14

Great art as always! Even an animated intro story. And multiple kinds of attacks. All that solo and in 72 hours. I'm impressed.

mase 2014-12-10 02:26

The "undermine attack" is nice. Cool faux-3D effect in the cutscene as well.

Unfortunate that it's unfinished... but looks good so far.

solifuge 2014-12-10 02:28

Gosh, I love the art direction for this... and the depicted relationship ;3. Really good character design and I actually liked the single-frame animation for the punches, since they seemed to provide some characterization. The one thing I'd say other than the obvious "complete the game!! I want more snow ladies!!" is that the coin sound is tuned a bit too loud relative to all of the other SFX and music. An audio retuning would help the feel of the experience as it is right now a lot.

Thank you for the game!

rhy3756547 2014-12-10 03:09

Very, very cool artwork! It's a shame you couldn't make it into a game, but I really love what you've got here so far! The diving into the snow thing kinda reminds me of the upcoming game Splatoon as well, which isn't a bad thing 'cause it's a really cool mechanic.

devonoel 2014-12-10 03:17

Too bad you couldn't finish it, its a good premise. The art and music are nice.

indie4fun 2014-12-10 03:26

Nice art. The combat is fluent and the intro is cool ;). It's a shame that the game is unfinished ;(

barry-p-evans 2014-12-10 03:28

i love this style of game :) obviously it wasnt fully animated but it was fun to play.

hjfrew 2014-12-10 05:19

Great potential, beautiful art, wasn't super fond of the controls. Would love to see this further developed.

savethejets1 2014-12-10 05:26

The graphics in your entries are always top notch.

Great stuff!

furrikira 2014-12-10 05:59

Sad it's not done but I'll say, you should really work on this post-compo!

aflatminerstudios 2014-12-10 06:17

Artwork is fantastic! Really just a few changes/debugs gameplay wise would make this super polished. Of course (speaking as a non programmer) that's probably easier said than done! either way, great mood and look, nice start.

lynx 2014-12-10 06:23

So much female version of Scott Pilgrim good-ness! Can't wait to see this expanded Post-Jam!

themonika 2014-12-10 08:06

That art is ridiculously cute and ridiculously expressive. I'll have to check out your other games as well.

team-blucookie 2014-12-10 08:06

Cool fighting mechanics (the snow powers). I have to say the music was what I liked most. Graphics are super as always.
Very impressive what you were able to do in the limited amount of time. I feel that if you further scaled down on the content you could really make a very well-rounded experience!

monos 2014-12-10 08:40

Really great art and sound, too bad the game is not finished :(

vltrauiolet 2014-12-10 09:36

*inserts coin*

murrayl 2014-12-10 10:04

Fun little game! Would definitely play more.

sorlok 2014-12-10 12:14

Really great stat to a game! I thought that "1" should match with "A" though (since it's a jump-type attack). Good setting of the mood, and controls are solid. Also, it's just an interesting premise.

triplevisiongames 2014-12-10 13:46

Art and music are amazing!! Really love the style. Would be cool if you did go and finish it some day...

gungnir 2014-12-10 14:59

It looks like you bit off a bit more than you could chew with this idea. The handdrawn animation style must be very labor intensive.

It's very nice though, it has a unique feeling that I enjoyed a lot.
The special moves were a cool addition as well.

Thanks.

rzuf 2014-12-10 15:04

Would love to see more of this Scott Pilgrim/River City Ransom clone. Awesome job. <3

ryguydavis 2014-12-10 15:31

Hey, this is good stuff. I know it's just in concept state, but I can see where you were going with this and I think it's great for what it is.

cakencode 2014-12-10 16:04

I was getting some jQuery errors in Chrome Beta, but it worked flawlessly in Firefox and Safari. If anyone else is having trouble running the game I'd suggest trying a different browser.

The. Art. Is. Beautiful! Those cutscenes and character animations are top notch. It's a shame this didn't get finished, it looks very promising! :)

Hope you can find some time to work on it more Christina!~

fortyseven 2014-12-10 16:32

Adore the art style. Very Pilgrimy. ;) Love to see this turn into something more!

maniulo 2014-12-10 18:01

Snow powers are awesome! Also, nice art style.

matthias_zarzecki 2014-12-10 18:07

awww, this is super-lovely :)

puppetmaster 2014-12-10 20:36

Love your art style, i's cute! Cool beat'em up sound!
Very well done!

zyow 2014-12-10 23:14

Love graphics!

markusfisch 2014-12-11 11:39

Really great graphics and music! And I like that snow theme very much too! Well done!

notnasiul 2014-12-11 20:20

You probably spent lots of time on those sprites! Next time save a bit for more game! Great work!

taro 2014-12-11 21:38

Well, this is Scott Pilgrim, alright. I see a lot of hard work put into it. Great job.

kchplr 2014-12-11 21:42

There are some good material to work upon in this prototype, keep up the good work.

The transition from the sad intro to the beat them up with super energetic music is kinda funny. :p

ilokimo 2014-12-11 21:47

Super cute graphics and good music. Liked the drill out animation among others

erhartmikale 2014-12-11 21:50

Nicee c:

fil00dl 2014-12-11 21:50

very nice art and music

sebasrez 2014-12-11 22:01

Really nice graphics with an intro and everything! To be honest I thought there would be more as far as gameplay but what was there was really cool, I think you have a great prototype to build some real nice 2D game here.

allanolivei 2014-12-11 22:03

The art is very good, but the game is very unfinished.

2014-12-11 22:09

Really? Art style, animation style, scenario and even the music are all copied directly from Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game.
Check yourself:

The game is merely incomplete (logically, because of the time you had), but you should at least had worked on the gameplay a little more. Good work otherwise, though.

tritegames 2014-12-11 22:32

Nice art and animation. It's fun to play. Would like a complete game version of it :)

gfm 2014-12-11 22:35

Nice graphics and intro. Hitting enemies already feels pretty good, but with a few effects (or perhaps more punching frames for SnowGirl), it would feel awesome!
The specials were also really cool!

I can see this becoming a really fun game. :)

arcturusdeluxe 2014-12-11 22:57

Lovely art in this game. There's definitely a solid base for a good game here. As it stands its obviously unfinished, but what you have here has a lot of potential. Nice music as well!

tuism 2014-12-11 23:12

So ambitious :) Really good animations, goes without saying :)

Also +1 for Scott Pilgrim vibes ;)

So, here comes constructive criticism!
> Of course... Sliding on the floor is not ideal. Walk animation needed.
> No gameplay... You should have added in some life, that would have been the minimum requirement for a game to have any sense of direction and need to do something other than standing around.
> You shouldn't be able to move while attacking
> Try and keep the button count lower and closer together - you didn't need to use 1 and 2 for the other attacks, that made them unwieldy. You had so many keys around the ones you already use. Heck you should actually have...
> ... used combinations. Like down + punch = that burrowing thing. Or holding the punch button for 0.5 sec to activate the snowball.
> The snowball attack didn't suit this kind of game - stopping in the middle of attacks to pull and charge feels a bit off.

Yeah I think that's it. Just gotta be more game-y. I can see you're a good artist learning game dev, keep it up, the best learning comes from doing :) I started learning game maker for the first time 2 years ago :) Last Sunday during Ludlum Dare I released my first (smallish) game. It's been unreal :)

6downstudios 2014-12-12 01:23

Amazing job on the pixel art and animation! Special moves are really neat too!

shackhal 2014-12-12 02:19

I like the "Scott Pilgrim" graphics style and animation. Also, the attacks are cool and the music is great.

It's bad that is unfinished, because I wanted to play it until the end.

Overall, I like the game :)

devark 2014-12-12 03:37

Art and pallet are great. Would have loved to have seen more animations though.

valandre 2014-12-12 13:28

Nice entry, I love tu scott pilgrim style.

theholychicken 2014-12-13 02:40

Super cute animations on the snowgolem-thingeys! You should make them the main character, they're awesome!
Hope you get to finish next time :)

franklins-ghost 2014-12-14 01:44

Loved the art, music and variety of attacks. Nice little fighting game with great intro, just wish there was some enemy feedback. Did end up playing for awhile, fun entry.

vidar 2014-12-14 19:45

I don't care that it's not finished, it was great nonetheless!
The art and music was fantastic and super polished. Great job!

apiotrw 2014-12-14 21:25

Really liked the artstyle

jjevil 2014-12-15 19:30

You should continue working on this. The graphics & audio are cool.

delahee 2014-12-17 13:09

nice appropriation of paul robertson's work but the overall feeling make me think the game is just an alpha version of scott pilgrim, by the look of it, you can do a much original and better game next time!

andrewkennedy 2014-12-17 23:05

I love it! Good pixel art, really fitting music!

The snow powers were both really cool. I'm partial to the bouncing snowball myself!

So jealous of your art skills!

madmaw 2014-12-18 07:26

Another great entry, love your work

2hitadam 2014-12-28 08:24

Super cute art, digging those Bryan Lee O'Malley/Paul Robertson influences. Particularly liked the monster design and hurt anims, and the specials were pretty fun too. Would play the hell out of this if it were a full game!

mekuri 2014-12-29 01:07

Nice graphics and animations. Although it wasn't really finished, the part you did make did feel rather polished. I liked the sound effects, and who doesn't like collecting coins? :-)

dracomagna 2014-12-29 01:08

Really nice graphics and music! :D
However it's sad that the game isn't completly functionnal.
Good job!

superdisk 2014-12-29 01:19

Good art. I'm not quite sure what the story was? Girl goes to the graveyard to lament her girlfriend, then... a snowgirl starts beating up monsters? I'm sure it would've made more sense if you had more time.

The gameplay was smooth, and the special attacks worked well! Neat stuff.

foodzilla 2014-12-29 01:55

Looks like it could be a lot of fun, and you made a lot for such a short time.

el-pepi 2014-12-29 02:36

Nice graphics and music, too bad the game is not finished.
Looks a lot like scott pilgrim vs the world.

shadow64 2014-12-29 03:21

I really liked what little was there. I also fell into the same trap of not being able to get my full idea out there, so I feel your pain. I love the art, but it's pretty clearly lineart that's been scaled down - totally understandable for time, but I'd love to see you do some real pixeling for the final product. :)

Great job, thanks for sharing, and congrats on finishing!

christinaneofotistou 2014-12-29 03:56

Ok some replies.

Firs of all thanks everyone for checking it out

1. The art is not scaled down lineart, it's just unpolished pixelart. Or oekaki. At any rate, drawn at that size, for all it matters.

2. I totally see the scott pilgrim/paul robertson/o'malley resemblance. Never played the game myself, I totally love the look of it though, and completely adore the books and movie. Didn't mean to "rip" anyone off, this is just an experiment with completely underdone graphics, and besides I'm not making any money off it *or* using someone else's assets.

3. I'm not sad, not in pain, not unhappy, not regretting that this game isn't finished. As I'm not a coder, I learnt a ton in those three days: FSM enemy behavior, pathfinding, hitboxes, attack boxes and beat 'em up Z type movement. If this looks like a failed project to you, I don't mind. But it was awesome for me :)

Lots of love,
C

superdisk 2014-12-29 05:33

I, for one, really liked the art even in its current state.

What it really has an uncanny resemblance to is Jonny Smeby's stuff.

Cute! This game reminds me about Scott Pilgrim video game and this is good. May be it's good idea to leave main hero invulnerable to make game more friendly for female audience. Seriously! Also, game need more narrative (I don't understand link between intro and fighting) and goals (what I need to achieve, what I playing for). It's good concept. I subscribed in twitter to keep looking for updates.

gameproducer 2014-12-29 09:08

Lovely art. Nice small details like monsters closing one eye when getting hit. Snow powers are simply awesome.

Too bad I cannot win since I would have liked to know how the story ends. With more monsters/creatures, more stats/powers and content this would be fun to play through.

redoxkun 2014-12-29 11:25

Like a lot the graphics, the concepts, the music... Would love to see it finished :3

jezzamon 2014-12-29 11:53

I think I can figure out what game influenced this one ;)

Pretty impressed with the music you made!

I guess great art/music comes with the cost of time

flickta 2014-12-29 12:21

Looks great, and special attacks are... special!
