Great game for 48 h! It's fun and all thematic! Good use of the screen space.

kulomin 2014-12-08 12:52

Nice to play!

yrasin 2014-12-08 12:52

Cool game with nice graphics. It's very challenging and fun to play!

sirival 2014-12-08 12:58

NOTE: Game will look / play better if you go full screen by clicking on the full screen button on the bottom or by playing here: apps.playcanvas.com/vaios/ld31/winterblast

Great game! I was very impressed by the smooth controls and gameplay. The audio is nice too.

dohxis 2014-12-08 13:24

Really great game!

yodamaster 2014-12-08 13:25

Hm, opens a site and then nothing happens. When I click the logo, their website with a lot of games opens. Where's your game?

wooltech 2014-12-08 13:25

Nice, runs smoothly and looks the part.

I just can't help wondering how jet propelled snowmen don't melt :)

bazld 2014-12-08 13:26

Fun game - gets nice and challenging.

sirival 2014-12-08 13:27

Hey @yodamaster - if that happens maybe the game didn't load for you. Try again here: http://apps.playcanvas.com/vaios/ld31/winterblast

sirival 2014-12-08 13:29

Haha @wooltech yeah that's a good point! Magic snowmen I guess?? I was just looking for an excuse to use particles!

kalaskrysset 2014-12-08 14:54

Looks good, nice music and effects. Good challange! Smooth controls/movement. I enjoyed it!

unnamed1334 2014-12-08 21:12

The game is fun if playing as intended. The audio is great. My biggest problem with the game is that by using total time as a score system, the best strategy is to not shoot anything and stay on level 1.

sirival 2014-12-08 21:52

@unnamed1334 thanks for the helpful comments! Yeah that's true I didn't think about that. To be honest the score system was very last minute. The good thing is that I could easily change it to be your total xp or level :D

aare 2014-12-09 11:30

Good enemy variety. Really like the snowman propellers - hilarious :P

rocketship 2014-12-09 11:30

Haha very addictive game, I would've wanted to see some kind of a leveling up-thing here but in any case very fun!

bobombe 2014-12-09 11:30

I really like the snowmen with reactors ^^.
It's pretty polish and fun. I just would have like an higher fire rate ...

hectorhon 2014-12-09 11:35

Level progression somewhat uneven, but otherwise, it's totally playable for a game made in such a short time. Keep up the good work!

sirival 2014-12-09 11:44

Hey @Rocketship thanks for the comments! Yeah there is XP and Levels and I wanted to do perks and skills per level but just didn't have the time :D

sirival 2014-12-09 11:45

@hectorhon yeah each level requires 20% more xp than the last level (totally arbitrary percentage).

sirival 2014-12-09 11:45

@bobombe did you get the shotgun? Spawns at level 5 :)

pixzleone 2014-12-09 16:08

Very cool!

poupi 2014-12-09 22:45

Nice work! We made an arena too ^^

s0rax 2014-12-10 20:50

Great music and I like this type of gameplay, the atmosphere is very cool

mrexcessive 2014-12-11 11:28

Hi there. Really nice presentation. Fairly generous until about 90 seconds in when gets pretty impossible quickly, reached 120 seconds in the end. Like the music as well as little touches like the jet exhaust on the player character. Good job!

chakitp 2014-12-11 13:36

Game is Nice to Play. But I would Liked it More, if would get Some score or bonus on killing enemies..

javadocmd 2014-12-11 16:43

This is a solid game: I like that there's a progression of enemies, wave arrangements, power ups, and so on. This kept the game fun for longer. Well done! I'd like to see a bit more gameplay innovation and a stronger application of the theme.

mintarcade 2014-12-13 14:15

Really nice. Like your approach on the snowman theme ;)

hippolyta 2014-12-15 12:59

Funny and challenging game. Graphics and sound are nice too.

Well done!

erik 2014-12-15 21:39

This is a pretty solid little shooter. A couple of areas to improve: The bullets being fired were hard to see, and the results of shooting felt insubstantial. It's also hard to tell what the upgrades and collectibles are doing.

asobitech 2014-12-16 16:28

Snowman wasn't the theme, no matter, you can make a single screen game with a snowman in it ;)
Nice one.

sirival 2014-12-17 09:09

Hey @asobitech! Yeah I know but the snowman was the theme on everyone's hearts I think :P

ovenchips 2014-12-19 13:14

This is definitely my favourite LD game made with PlayCanvas. Very cool!! So polished.

phocker 2014-12-26 17:20

nice game there - more powerups would be nice - great job
