It's pretty hard, but fun to play.

I like the amount of detail that went into the models and the snow.
Unfortunately, I don't like the rest as much, and as I approached 60 snowballs, I started to wonder "Why am I doing this?"
(don't worry by the way, my game probably has less gameplay than yours do ;))
So next time, maybe try to focus a little less on the graphics, and a little more on how to make the game fun :)

Nice music, greate gameplay!

Saving snowmen?! Snowmen are meant to be burned down (not melted, melting is for wimps), not saved!!!

Seriously though. You may have gone just a little bit overkill on the graphics and stuff just to dodge a few snowballs =P
Other than that, not a bad concept. Dodging is fun as long as it doesn't lag (I'm on my laptop, so I don't have too high end specs ^^')

I love this game. The graphics were great, and the blandness of the game was mainly just limitation of the theme. But i love the simplicity, and the music makes me happy :D. I might keep this :D

The snowman will raise! Great game, everything that uses snowman theme is fantastic!

Graphics are good, but I'm missing the revenge of the snowmen. I wanna fight back, do somersaults, pick up a bat and hit the balls etc. Good start!

pretty fun! High end version got blocked by chrome (chrome said it was malicious???) low end one worked great though!

The graphics are pretty cool, but I'm sorry to say that's the only thing I like :/

You used the snowman and kept it on one screen!

HelkeGames 2014-12-08 22:07

I don't know why, but every snowman game has made me laugh xD You get humor points for this my friend! Very nice game! :D

Very nice graphics and a nice simple solid game (High score after 5 plays was 98). The only issue I have is that the file size is huge for what the game is, 150 MB uncompressed. My guess is that there is a lot of default items placed in the application (I noticed a tutorial folder and an issue tracker among other things). It you continue to use UE4 for future entries, take a look at publishing settings and see if you can turn all these extra items off as it would help a lot.

hypnoticbytes 2014-12-08 23:49

Haaaaard!!!! But I had fun playing!!!! File size too big, because of UE4...

This reminds me of a doge the falling objects game but in a 3D space which I've never really seen. The graphics are really good as well. Nice work.

lostcodestudios 2014-12-09 01:34

Really sick! Enjoyed the graphics, but a little hard.

endesga 2014-12-10 03:03

Awesome game! I love it :D

ali312 2014-12-14 14:18

I like how you combined two themes ;)

kualitygames 2014-12-28 10:02

simple but nicely detailed graphics, gameplay is too simple in my opinion.
