A bit too simple for my taste, but really good looking game.

Neat game, but the planting mechanics were a bit confusing at first, i kept planting/picking up the same carrot over and over.

Couldn't run the game on Kongregate - it wouldn't get past the ad.

This one is super fun, and gets more challenging at a good pace. I like the mechanic of having to kill enemies while managing crops, it is super tricky.

asaratha 2014-12-09 03:53

A fun but simple game. If you added more mechanics it'd be solid.

Not sure why ANYONE would make a game about snowmen :D anyway, nice little game, a bit simple.

Good game. However, it's quite difficult and it tends to be repetitive.

Okay firstly, the word is Achievements, not Achivements.
Secondly, the pistol's accuracy is really off.
Thirdly, the snowmen hit points are very small.
Fourthly, the music is good.
Fifthly, the art is good.
Sixthly, the shop is good.
Sevently, I enjoyed your game!

Not bad, a little simple - but looks like you accomplished what you were aiming for in 72 hours. Nice job!

indie4fun 2014-12-09 16:56

Not bad, I liked the idea of farming+killing. A bit too repetitive maybe.

Neat game, but it seems to me that you should increase speed. Challenge accomplished for this entry. THX ++

Nice game! I thought it was a pretty basic if vaguely competent shooter at first, but then I found all the weapon upgrades and carrot farming stuff. Pretty neat! Gets quite intense as you get further. I like the constant ratcheting up of the action and trying to keep pace with the deluge of snowmen. I also liked that other snowmen go after dropped carrots, I thought that was a neat touch. Good stuff.

I like it.. I could see myself playing this for hours on a night when the insomnia kicks in...

gladers 2014-12-09 19:59

Really great game! Incredible amount of content for 2-3 days work, was fun to play it at the Jam event!
If you want I can host an alternative web version for you, as the kongregate link wont work for some people.

Nice game but needed better guns and gun sounds I think. Would have made it a little more exciting.

binary_gambit 2014-12-10 10:44

Enjoyable, the max level pistol was my go-to weapon

tritegames 2014-12-10 11:44

Haha as you said, our games are quite similar...and it's even more funny because at first we wanted to implement farming too ^^ And it totally works in your game. Cool upgrades too :)

ViliX 2014-12-11 15:16

It could use some more graphics polishing, but overall fun :)

udo 2014-12-11 15:21

Good entry overall, I liked the idea of harvesting in the face of adversity :)

sharp911 2014-12-11 17:14

Nice game.

harley77 2014-12-11 21:09

Simple to play, but gets almost impossible once the snowmen really start coming in (or maby I didn't plan it well enough). Great job! Please keep working on it.

sushin 2014-12-11 21:22

Nice entry but is more repetitive.

banana4life 2014-12-11 21:36

The linux version only contains the windows binaries

garethiw 2014-12-12 14:59

I really like this - a cross between a dual-stick shooter, tower defence and a farming game!

Plus it has snowmen, carrots and flamethrowers, like ours!

shellfishgames 2014-12-13 20:41

Very challenging game - solid concept and well executed. There surely is a bit of room for improvement here and there, e.g. you could've made the weapons a bit more satisfying to use (more powerful sound, particles, pushing back the snowmen..) or added just a bit of variation to the mix.
Pretty cool the way it is though, congrats on your first (jam) game!

killedbyapixel 2014-12-13 22:31

Good game! Maybe would be funner if the snowmen died in 1 hit.

zi 2014-12-14 06:09

MY CARROTSSSSSSSS!!! AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGH DAMN THOSE SNOWMEN!!!!!

... Great game! :D

poupi 2014-12-14 21:22

Nice work :)

boehrsi 2014-12-14 21:32

Nice one!

integershift 2014-12-15 23:58

High score of 46 very difficult but fun simple though. Good job with the game overall it was fun to play. Played on stream http://www.twitch.tv/integershift.

gins 2014-12-16 20:18

Pretty cool entry. I liked this mix of farming simulator and shoot'em up :)
It gets really intense so the upgrades are very welcome.

rjhelms 2014-12-28 21:03

Simple and fun. Great job for a first game, keep it up!
