No snowman theme and you're still all: "I do what I want!". Well that being said it was still a pretty good tower defense kinda experience, well done.

Haha, nice work! Love how almost everybody makes a game about snowmans. But this game fits the actual theme aswell. Love the animations of the snowman.

Plays smoothly. Nicely drawn and animated.

Snowman!! With a Fez!!!

But actually sort of fun tower defense.

I really enjoyed this one especially the rabbit pooing carrots!

Fun!

I am pretty sure the snowman is the bad guy here, murdering lumberjacks and stealing carrots from rabbits. Towards the end I was half-expecting the cops or army to come in to try and take down the monster.

Gameplay wise I felt like the difficulty was a bit flat and on the easy side, there didn't seem to be any more or harder obstacles towards the end than at the start and I won on the first try. I couldn't really tell how near the tree was to being destroyed, how many hits does it take?

A fun little game, would have been nice for it to ramp up either in variety or difficulty but still enjoyed it. good work.

Fun game. The auido is not so good but the graphics is amazing. Cool game overall.

Cool animations on the lumberjack!

The art is nice, you guys are really obsessed by the snow man lol

gwenn 2014-12-08 16:55

Nice game ! some variety in the enemies or increasing difficulty would enhance it. I like the rabbit animation :)

Result after 10 carrots: 63 lumberjacks, 454 snowballs. Kept me busy, but wasn't very interesting.

Luckily snowmen can run indefinitely and are much faster than lumberjacks.

nice game, plays smoothly and graphics are great, well done

Cool (no pun intended) game! I wish there was more variety or that the difficulty increased as you collected carrots.

madameberry 2014-12-09 02:36

Poor bunnies. Their digestive system must be bad if they're pooping whole carrots!

mrexcessive 2014-12-09 09:18

Hi there. Lovely game! Got victory, 73 LJ, 404 snowballs thrown. Really good job xmas game!

raiyumi 2014-12-10 08:34

I like the sounds the lumberjacks make. :)

pancakecity 2014-12-11 18:04

Nice! I really like the sfx.

mrlarryli 2014-12-13 17:32

I like the art including the animation. It might have been a little on the easy side but there is definitely room to make things more interesting.

teesquared 2014-12-13 17:52

I really enjoyed this game. It was a simple theme but very hard at the same time. I'm a lumberjack and I don't carrot?

ghostonline 2014-12-13 19:14

Initially, I thought it was just another top down shooter, but then I noticed the carrot collecting spin. Also really loved the graphics. Nice, well rounded game.

spotco 2014-12-14 08:09

Decently made one-screen shooter, not enough response or impact when hitting or killing enemies. I'd recommend (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJdEqssNZ-U), a talk by the devs at vlambeer with some tips that would improve any action game (including yours!)

coderdozer 2014-12-14 13:02

great little game, nice tactic to draw the snowman away from tree.

redoxkun 2014-12-14 15:40

Well done game, maybe a bit too easy. Good job!

team-myopia 2014-12-15 00:52

Handles well and is very clear how to play, pretty simple though but a great start to what could be expanded to more.

ruerob 2014-12-15 03:51

Very nice game. I like the graphics very much. The carrot in the snowmans hand was my highlight. I've noticed it after the 5th carrot or so. Very well done. Thank you for your game.

Cool graphics, sounds are OK but fit their role of warnings once the the player grasps the concept.
At first I thought the carrots were not enough noticeable, and in the first moment of play, you are not sure what exactly to do in the game.
The carrots disappear pretty quickly and are sometimes hidden by the trees.

From the moment you start to pay attention to their spawning sound, it becomes easier to go and fetch them right away.

Good job making a game in 48 hours.
