This is just so awesome game!
Thanks! I'm pretty surprised it turned out as well as it did, lol.
One of the funnest games I've played so far. This game just made me... happy. The was incredibly well executed in all categories. I love when the really fast one charge at you. I spent most of my time with the lights off because I constantly needed to make snowballs. The only thing I would critique is that I want some sort of a kill counter.
The lack of a score is the biggest complaint, and is quite valid. I wish I hadntve had to work today, or it would have definitely been included. Oh well. It will be the first thing implemented if we develop it further.
Chrome has flagged this as malware for some reason (Windows version). Any ideas as to why that might be?
No I do not. It doesn't flag it on my computer. Thanks for bringing this to my attention, I'll see if I can find out what's happening.
Oh, wait. If you're talking about the "Uncommon Download Warning", there's probably nothing I can do about that unless the game gets popular.
This game gave me the chills...
This is a really nice mechanic. Balancing making snowballs with actually getting rid of the snowmen trying to eat you is nice, and then you have the lights as well - very original and a lot of fun. And you got the snowman theme in there too, so that's pretty awesome.
Sweet gmae. Simple but addictive. Nicely done !
Great Gameplay, although I didnt get far :)
Dammit, I was so cloooose! Fun game!
Nice creepy atmosphere! One suggestion, have you considered having a flashlight that follows the cursor instead?
Awesome. So I don't know when it is supposed to end but I've killed a bunch of them. I feel like I did my part for the society.
The creepy snowmen are great!
@elemel: no we didn't, heh. The lights idea was taken essentially wholesale from Five Nights at Freddy's, and we didn't implement it fast enough to reevaluate the idea itself much.
@Valon: the game starts at 12 and ends at 6. You only hear what time it is when the clock tower rings.
Creepy and fun.
Haha, cool :) I liked the atmosphere.
God that was actually fun! Please pursue this idea after the jam.
Great job setting the scene with the lighting effects and the snowman noises. Adding in the snowball creation as a mechanic really added to the intensity of the visual scene by making you always feel pressed for time. The gameplay was overly simple, and in the end it was much easier to just hold the right mouse button and react to the snowmen at close range. The graphical models of the snowmen were also a bit lacking, which is only a problem because the snow on the ground looks so good, and the lighting really makes them stand out.
Fun and challenging. Nice visual effects.
lovely presentation
Nice job ! the game is pretty fun, the shooting mechanic works well, the atmosphere is creepy, and the concept itsefl with the lights is nice too :) imo, only 3 minor setbacks :
-even when shooting carefully, you eventually run dry on snowballs it could be fun to have levels and some way to replenish your snowballs to complete them ( though i think you might went for a how long can you last approach )
-adding a crosshair instead of just having the mouse cursor could be cool
-adding a scoring display
other than that good job overall ^_^
Nice graphics and gameplay, the snowmen kinda scared me when they got so close haha :D. Eventhough the entire game was on one screen, I still had to think about that you might've prepared for a different theme ;)
Pretty nice adaptation of Five Nights at Freddy's. I think one thing that would have made it better is having the lights be more necessary, as it was always a better choice to keep making snowballs and simply shoot the snowman when they came close.
Seems like you prefered another theme... Great work!!! Never thought I would be eaten by a ☃.
Maybe the player shouldn't be able to make and throw snowballs at the same time.
Thanks for the Linux build!
Very nice! ;)
