fun game, I couldnt really see how many snowballs I had. Also Leia killed me too many times

TIM! HOW DID YOU GET SO MANY SNOWBALLS?! I had some lag, but that was fun!

thewalkingkiwi 2014-12-09 04:27

Very nice. Had a bit of lag though.

Fun little game! Ice sometimes hard to navigate on but really.....it's Ice.

Couldn't get the file to open

Fantastic! I had a lot of fun, and played far longer than I needed to judge the game. Definitely needs a chat window! Also, controls are kinda wonky. Anyway, great job!

On Windows7 in the first screen (where it is said to press space) I hit space but nothing happens

Good Work ^^

Really impressive to get multiplayer to work in such a short amount of time. couldn't get any multiplayer though cause Australia timezones

chuigum 2014-12-12 00:57

Great graphics and sound. I really like the digging mechanic, good job overall!

techblogogy 2014-12-12 19:09

Very nice game!

wilou1428 2014-12-12 19:24

It's hard to kill the AI players...

timtipgames 2014-12-12 19:37

There is no AI, that was me. Sorry ;)

pestelcrew 2014-12-12 19:39

Very nice and polished game. I think I played with bot and he was smart enough.

timtipgames 2014-12-12 19:43

Thank you all for playing! We had a lot of fun in every single game we played with you.

On a different note: looks like I am smart enough to be considered a bot. That's something, isn't it?

thenewphoenix 2014-12-12 19:50

Fun game but I think there should be more snowballs spread around the world.

kualitygames 2014-12-12 19:51

So much fun! I love multiplayer games in general and the lag wasn't even too bad. wish I had more snowballs though, had trouble killing enemies. Cute graphics overall, really brought me in a wintermood. well done!

nikteddy92 2014-12-13 09:26

Nice game! I had some real fun! Well done graphic.
Good Job!

Wow, are you in-game 24/7?
I noticed that I can't jump on the bottom of the screen and I can't climb sides.
Also, snowballs/hearts twinkling when an enemy gets one is confusing. I see enemy collect a snowball, and I see the same effect as if it was me, especially if I have 1 more snowball than I thought.
There is another problem: sometimes, something strange happens. For me, players start moving faster, but server doesn't think so (At least that's my guess). I can destroy blocks both from client and server positions, and enemies shoot my server position.
The game is very entertaining. Minecraft mechanics are very fun and fit the theme. Though I wish there were more players. You should think about adding AI, you aren't going to play it forever, are you?

timtipgames 2014-12-13 13:06

Thanks for playing so long with me and thank you for the detailed feedback Madball!

I am aware of the sync-problems you are describing. They really are a result of too much dirty coding under time-pressure. All points you state would need fixing if we continued working on this.

I am on the server whenever I think that there may people come to play, like when I make a blog-post or when I hit the title page of the rating category. So not really 24/7 :) AI was and is on our wish list. Thanks again, I had a lot of fun playing with you!

5you 2014-12-13 13:22

sadly, I didn't have any opponents.

puppetmaster 2014-12-13 16:37

Beautiful snow effects and player animation

There is some problem with recognition. Where the player is and what he can do! (climbing, digging)

pkenney 2014-12-13 18:15

I played but there was nobody else on, so of course some of the experience I did not get and I had to use my imagination.

But I thought it was very nicely done. The sound was particularly good, and the art was nice. I also liked the controls. It must have been tricky to design them, because there are a lot of scenarios to cover. It took a little experimentation (good thing nobody was throwing snowballs at me I guess!) to figure out the various combinations, but I think you made a lot of good calls on how to use the buttons for things like climbing, digging up, etc.

Nice work!

gmaker 2014-12-13 18:54

Awesome graphics. I loved it all! Good Job!

pulsartronic 2014-12-13 19:04

jajaja .... I waited for a while, then another player appeared and we fought together ... very funny tim ... works fine on linux ... 5 stars on fun definitely :D

galman 2014-12-13 19:21

Great game! Played with friends, well done :D

luthienceleste 2014-12-13 19:43

I was alone so that detracts from the experience.
But making a multiplayer game in such time frame is amazing and the graphics were nice also.

rhy3756547 2014-12-14 18:06

Nice one! There seem to be a ton of multiplayer games this time around. Me and Mach some fun playing this one (ie. running up to each other's faces then spamming space) but felt that it needed some sort of round system, so that people could win a round by getting the most snowball kills. Apart from this, nice work for just 24h!

mach60kas 2014-12-14 18:07

Hey, I really liked having a snowball fight game! :P The graphics were quite nice and the game was pretty fun. I'd have liked a time limit or some invincibility frames: I could knock out anyone I was playing against by getting a full volley of snowballs and waiting until they cornered themselves. Still, great entry, good job and I hope you stream ld games again soon! :)
