Hilarious game with wonderful graphics.

arovoid 2014-12-09 07:47

Greatly animated and works very smoothly!

Nice little idea, good art and sound. A bit hard to avoid the gnome though. Tried jumping over it but the jump is too short.

Really fantastic visuals, loved the setting. The gameplay was good, but needed a bit of variety. Good job!

I really enjoyed the snowman ☃ theme and evil elf. It is indeed a game in one screen.

Great pixelart! Congratulations

Nice game!

Nice idea, sweet graphics and fun! Only thing I would change is that you should lose health when gnome get presents and not touches you.

Merry Christmas!
Addictive game, good replay value especially with the random generating trees and development of the players skills.It took me a few goes however to realize the elf was evil. Invulnerable time when you are hit is the perfect length and a good mechanic to add. It took me a few goes however to realize the elf was evil.

Hi there. Sorry not rated. Java wasn't happy Chrome/W8.1

Lovely pixel art and sounds, it is a very cute game. I love helping santa, but this Ludum Dare the snowman is really everywhere. Can't blame you for that though.

I liked the graphics style. I could never make graphics like that, my art-skills are too poor, haha.

I like this a lot. Great little game, simple but good fun. Good potential for expansion here too.

equipejam 2014-12-10 20:03

Good Work ^^

The graphics are really good! I feel that the snowman should jump a bit higher, it's very difficult to avoid the gnome. It gets repetitive after a while, and it's frustrating that the Santa sometimes spend way too much time outside of the screen, so you just have to wait. Has some shortcomings, but it's quite fun. My best score is 32 =D

Also had trouble jumping over the elf, but great graphics, and the soundtrack is catchy

Awesome graphics and great gameplay! Woooh! I found it pretty hard thought.

recon 2014-12-11 13:23

Good graphics, but did you make it before the jam???

gmaker 2014-12-11 13:29

@Recon ofcourse not. http://www.twitch.tv/gmaker/profile/past_broadcasts

Wow, love the graphics, 5 stars!!!

wir 2014-12-11 15:04

Great pixelart :D

zncatlaw 2014-12-11 17:05

Fantastic. True believers know the #snowmanjam is real! ☃ ☃ ☃

Great sound, wonderful pixel art. And the gnome fills me with rage.

pulsartronic 2014-12-11 18:19

cool

victorafael 2014-12-11 19:55

I loved the graphics (I have seen before)

I wish the snowman was faster to jump more easily those evil creatures... But I can not blame him... He got no legs!

Reminds me the bowser level in super mario :D

puppetmaster 2014-12-11 20:07

[+] Cool sliding snowman animation, suitable music, nice pixelart

[-] The place where the gnome stops was a little pit odd. You never know exactly when you can jump with the snowman

Well made!

erhartmikale 2014-12-11 20:35

Awesome :3 so cute.

geckoo1337 2014-12-12 06:09

Hilarious game and wonderful graphics. Thank you for your comment about my game ++

teesquared 2014-12-12 11:22

Entire game on one snowman. Really fun, funny, and frosty. F that gnome.

deyteris_team 2014-12-12 12:20

I has a lot of fun playing it. Thanks for bringing Christmas spirit!

jupiter_hadley 2014-12-12 15:38

Love the graphics. Great game! I Included it in part 9 of my Ludum Dare 31 compilation video series, if you would like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/08ofw2klihI

Nice pixel art in such a short span of time. Good job! :)

dookie 2014-12-16 23:13

That Santa sure is a clumsy fellow ;)

Awesome game! It was super hard to avoid the gnome, though.

dissiden7 2014-12-16 23:20

Had a really hard time with the controls. The snowman would jump and throw the presents just fine, but moving around felt like it was by pure chance... Maybe Safari Java plugin was bugging out, so I'll refrain from voting on those categories.

Other than that, graphics are great and it looks really well executed.
