I wish I could control on WASD instead of the Arrow keys as I find it much better. Also, I think it would be better if the pistol fired automatically by holding the fire button.

Cool game. Good job!

The snowman are to over powered! when they are close your pistol just goes through them :P

Really neat pixel art!

Round 9 is my max..xD lovely game :)

I get "Failed to load mono" on Linux.

gallerdude 2014-12-08 14:24

Very fun, fast and fluid. Beautiful graphics, and nails the theme.

wilpel1234 2014-12-08 15:06

Awesome! like the 2d characters in the 3d world!

vururia 2014-12-08 15:06

Good game :)

nushriell 2014-12-08 15:06

Pretty addictive, nice game I liked it.

roktom 2014-12-08 15:40

Like the style of 2D / 3D

maesk 2014-12-08 15:52

@minimumentropy Thank you for the info, I'll check Linux build as soon as I get to my laptop!

devonoel 2014-12-08 16:04

The enemies are little overly aggressive, and they're kinda bullet sponges, but neat game.

eruditespirit 2014-12-08 16:19

I got up to Round 7, and it's quite funny to see his gun shoot 3 bullets with the second powerup.

khahem 2014-12-08 16:30

Good Job !

The bullets bouncing and falling instead of disappearing are a cool idea :)

maesk 2014-12-08 16:32

@khakehem Thanks! But they rebel sometimes and stay floating! Consider it a special glitch magic to protect yourselves :D

HelkeGames 2014-12-08 22:02

Really fun! I liked it!

egos 2014-12-08 23:50

well realized but the round are very small too understant the command

groydis 2014-12-09 00:43

I like the art work and the concept is cool. I've never seen snow so If a snowman suddenly appeared on the tropical island I lived on, id probably assume they are monsters too. The only thing I didn't like was that my gun could go through monsters and the hit wouldn't detect when I fired. Good Job otherwise!

fireandcoffee 2014-12-09 07:41

I like the combination of 3d worlds and pixel art. Round 4 is just terrifying too. Maybe turning down the movement speed on enemies could help? I found it hard to avoid them if they instantly charged.

Fun game. Very hard to survive more than a few rounds though!

orion_black 2014-12-10 18:11

I agree snowmen are op and auto-fire should be a thing.

codecranker 2014-12-10 21:54

I like this game a lot but its very punishing. I really like that cool red/yellow dude standing next to the tree :D

Few things I have noticed that might help
- When the snowman or whatever spawns they rush towards you. When they are in close contact with you, its impossible to shoot because the origin of the bullet is after their face.
- The randomly appearing platforms blocks the upward jump thus making you stuck in the middle of two enemies.
- The health potion replenishes smaller health then expected.

These are the some things I noticed in my quick play through. But none the less, great work!

mrexcessive 2014-12-11 14:06

Hi there. Looks great but impossible to play as mobs crowd on you immediately. Nice sounds!

mopz 2014-12-11 17:31

Made it to round 7. Even if it's not a beatemup, there was sort of a Smash Bro's feeling over it, and that can never be a bad thing! But it's annoying that the gun always ends up on the other side of what you're targeting. The chick in the background was hot :)

pjimmy 2014-12-13 18:17

cute funny game, well done

ali312 2014-12-14 14:24

Graphics are nice and simple, pixelart + 3d = style :)
game feels nice
not sure if it's on theme, but overall this game is good ;)

gread72 2014-12-14 14:26

Interesting... hard to survive.

alsweigart 2014-12-17 07:46

Nice variety of enemies. WASD controls would be nice.

thatwhichis 2014-12-17 21:50

Round 5 okay that yellow ball sucks
ROUND 6 WTF WHYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEE lol

mohammad 2014-12-22 03:05

Pretty fun game, just wish I had more health

frankiesmileshow 2014-12-22 20:56

Good shootin'. Some quality shootin'.

krisjet 2014-12-22 21:00

This game could really benefit from some more feedback, screenshake when you're hit, more hit effects when bullets hit the enemies etc, as well as more refined controls. The enemy behaviour is also pretty uninteresting, it seems like they are just moving straight towards you with different max velocities, some of them jumping at different intervals.

sweenist 2014-12-23 02:40

What a spastic array of characters. A snowman, a meatball and the sun? I'll score it high on humor for that. This is one of the more addicting games so I score high for fun. Some weird physics stuff happens and I jump higher than the screen if an enemy hops underneath me. Good job overall!

okkolobr 2014-12-23 19:08

So hard ><
Maybe a "softer" level or two at the beginning would help get into it.

originaloldman 2014-12-23 20:09

Fun, but I find it very hard.

kipelovets 2014-12-23 22:20

Amazingly very fun, when you get a hold with enemy movements

scam 2014-12-23 22:50

Looks cute but is too damn hard. The enemies are really fast and strong. I always seem to die in round 3...
