This game has a very good atmosphere to it. Good game!

I liked it!
Evokes good memories from Katamari Damacy :)

I really dig the visual style, I was a bit confused about what was causing me to die at first.

The idea is nice and the game enjoyable. Those frakin' rabbits reproduce a bit too fast for my taste so I gave up. But hey, nice work !

raincole 2014-12-09 19:32

Don't know how to start playing?

Very interesting concept that was also fun to play. Having to balance gathering snow, killing bunnies, and outright stopping the bunnies from reaching 20 on the screen made for a enjoyable experience. Well done!

Super fun and weird! It sort of felt like once my snowball got bigger the hit box for grabbing wood signs was still the same size, so a little tricky to get my center over those. Still a neat bloody little winter game : ]

If you kill too many bunnies at once you die, if you kill not enough bunnies you also die. It's still a pretty amusing game. Also the story is 5/5.

fun katarari-y game! I rather enjoyed murdering all those bunnies. The red tint when you roll up bloody snow is a nice touch too. :D

Nice game. Doesn't need a whole tutorial, but just maybe state the goal. Overall nice job.

Alright game. A bit too difficult, but it's nice.

Thanks everyone for your comments!:) I know the game is lacking a tutorial or a clear goal but hopefully you had the patience to learn how to play it. (There is a brief description in the entry).
The game is all about managing your ball size and rabbit spawns while also gathering points by killing the rabbits. Once you get a hang of it the game the mechanic snowballs(hehe) and it gets easier.

@raincole
What build are you trying to run?

Funny game! Reminds me of Katamari too. Those damn bunnies multiply by the second, but it was nice being a snowball, great work!

Took me a sec to figure out how to play. The notes about controls on the side of the game board should probably be higher contrast (brown on brownish right now). Once I died, there didn't seem to be an option to restart. Interesting take on the theme. I liked how the snow got absorbed, revealing the grass :)

This game is hard! I really like the animation of the rolling and the bunnies hopping around and it kind of feels a bit like katamari. Pretty neat game, well done!

Interesting concept, and I thought the dynamic texturing on the ground was a pretty neat idea. With a bit more polish, I could see this as a really amazing mobile game, perhaps with tilt controls (not to hard with unity). Awesome work!

Fun but it gets bloody and hard fast. Please mr. snowman, don't kill me, I'm just an innocent bunny. splat.

bsoddevguild 2014-12-13 09:33

Nice atmosphere and graphics, good job.

tyruspeace 2014-12-14 17:10

I liked this game quite a bit! Cool concept, nice looking illusion of pixel-snow, and fun gameplay. It's definitely on the hard side, which is fine, but then it makes me want a faster way to restart the game.

d3garcia 2014-12-14 22:56

Very cool game!

tommyboys0107 2014-12-15 11:55

Great concept and style!
But no restart and control introduction.

dieblume86 2014-12-16 16:01

Crush them all^^

calavera 2014-12-17 22:49

Minus points for snowman theme..
