Banking on the snowman theme? :) Was a lot of fun. Great mood with the snow falling and music. Liked the pew pew's :)

Good game. The art came together, which was nice. The sounds were a little ... unthematic, but I guess that adds to the fun. :) Good job!

I think you might have started this one before the 48 hours? I'd say this would hit the short list for the snowman theme that's for sure. Nice job!

Nice work! The whistling made me think there was someone outside of my window though. =p

Not much to say that hasn't already been said, but I loved how the hat and glasses awkwardly fell down onto the snowman at the end.

When I first started playing the game I actually found myself laughing because of the pew pew pew and sound effects. Art was on spot. Overall good job!

Great looking game, super simple to play and learn.

Thanks for all the great comments! @Pcholt, no, this wasn't started before :) I just wanted to go with snowman regardless of the actual theme. Though I did try to fit the one screen constraint as well. Kind of.

I think all in all, it took us like 10 hours total. Still feel like it'd be better with 3D evil bear faces that attack you and make awkward moaning noises. :3

Loved the voices, beautiful yet simple art, amazing :)

Ambient music is so great.
Doesn't fit the theme tho.

Really gooOOOood...!!

The whole game-screen didn't fit on my screen, so I had some cut off at the bottom. I love the simple concept, otherwise, and very much appreciate being a winrar while pewwing asplodions. :)

Very calming music and cute sound effects! Pew pew!

boxedmeatrevolution 2014-12-09 19:03

Doesn't fit the theme, but I don't mind. Nice simple gameplay, humorous sound-bites, relaxing music... Overall a solid entry.

Pew... p-pp-pe-pewpew OwOwO-Ow HUAGH! Top laugh :D

Nice work! Really simple and fun!

A really cool game. I'm pretty sure it's an accurate depiction of how snowmen are built. Very realistic.

Another snowman game :D Very moody music and atmospheric graphics! Good job!

psychomonster 2014-12-10 19:50

Nice Idea :D Pew pew... Like sound and the surprising gameplay. Only problem, without zooming out it is very hard to play on a laptop screen ;)

Moving so slowly suits the serene tone the game is going for, but it can be a little frustrating in a shooter. Very atmospheric, nice work!

meral 2014-12-12 21:22

I don't like to see the word "Simulator" abused.

The atmosphere this provides is very relaxing. The voices, music and slow movement contribute very well to this.

Neat Game

Hi there. Lovely game. Fits perfectly I think. Love the music, very ghost scene in Mr Vampire... Nice generous combat for once. 71.71 grams lv 3... Good job!

zkenshin 2014-12-14 00:38

This was cute. I found shaking back and forth was the best method to becoming the best snowman I can be. Nice job!

really fun to play, sadly not this theme. Would have enjoyed better sounds and a system which prevented me from spamming "pew"s.
