Really fun game! I love thee kind of survival shoot outs. The only thing I would say is that it was a bit too easy to go on forever, the only reason I died is because i got greedy and tried to grab loads of upgrades from the middle of a massive mob :P I think you should have limited ammo, and one of the upgrades could be to refill it. The music was really good as well! Very nice entry :)

Really easy for this kind of game.

Also, as one of the 600 top down shooters submitted, you should really try to make it stand out.

Entertaining. I played it until my computer slowed to a crawl with all the snowmen on the screen.

I played this for far longer than I expected. Really fun game. Nice work!

Nice top down shooter. Quite polished, so nothing to complaint, I had fun playing it and I enjoyed the music and overall gameplay. Congrats!
BTW, can snowmen actually bleed? :)

runvs 2014-12-09 11:47

Only the evil satanic snowmen do. :)

Thanks for playing and rating!

Nicely done! Wish it was a bit harder though. Had fun nonetheless.

Overall this was a well polished entry into TDS genre. Everything was smooth and game play was pretty solid. My only major gripe is that combat started out sooo slow paced as I had only the pea shooter until around 500+ score. I was ready to quit early (with a much more negative view) and then some weapon power ups began to drop and the fun level started to rise a bit. Regardless, well done!

We've created a harder version. You can find it in the description above.

The concept is not new, but I like the style

aske 2014-12-10 19:40

Neat game! But i would like to see some sense of progression. But the shooting feels really tight, though!

pcmaster 2014-12-10 19:41

Playable! Shots often dot hit targets and fly through...

Fun and smooth gameplay ! The lack of increasing difficulty makes it a bit boring after a while though.

Was really fun to play, liked the art style! Movement and weapons controls felt good.
It got stuck two times in the reloading state, I think it happend when I got a powerup while reloading, but not always.

Hi there. Liked the slow chasing snowmen, did not seem much of a threat early on, but got tricky. Only one shot was a pain, presumably there's a powerup but didn't get that far. Good job!

kalaskrysset 2014-12-12 07:52

Well made overall. Nice powerups but the shotgun seemed to only hit 1 regardless of hitting with all 3 bullets. Pretty nice art. My high score was around 3700, those snowmen ganged up on me eventually :P

Excellent shooter with enough power ups to keep wanting to play further. The web version didn't slow for a single second on my machine. Very good job ! :)

Fun little survival game, with good movement and sound. Powerups were a nice mechanic, but I would've like to see a different kind of enemy. Well done!

runvs 2014-12-13 09:07

Thank you for all the comments!

Performance (at least on my machine) was undoubtedly better with native build versions (at least for large enemy/bullet numbers. There was not much time for optimization and I expect a bottlenec especially at list and collision handling.

Pretty fun game! not so innovative, but good, i played like half an hour without noticing :D

endesga 2014-12-13 23:49

Great little game :D

floriaen 2014-12-14 03:40

All the links are dead... in fact http://j.mp/ is not found

runvs 2014-12-14 23:00

Hi @Floriaen
Those are just bitly links so we get a little bit statistic about how often the links are clicked. It can be that they go down sometimes, but are working (as i checked them right now).
Pleas try again and sorry for the trouble. Best, runvs!

Cool :] another one brain damaged by evil snowman

germanunkol 2014-12-21 14:17

3275! :)

Very fun. But I really dislike how I can't see myself. The color-scheme ist neat, but it makes it hard to distinguish the player from the blood...
