*There's no such thing as "Cold Snap", and the rules have certainly not been standardized by any governing body

Loved how the audio blended with the clicks!

Nice game :D

Very relaxing music.
The game graphics and effects are nicely well polished.

The game starts to be very hard after 40☃, cards expand on the whole screen and that's a real challenge to find the ☃ to progress to the next level.

The game mecanisms are various and interesting: the bomb (I wish they was more!), remove a card (useful to see under it but becomes long after ~40☃), swap the z-index of cards to maybe a chance to see ☃ (worth it after 40☃),...
Cheers

Thanks! (also, z-index changes when you click on the background, but costs you $$$ ;)

very polished game. simple but fun! :)

Cool "Where is Waldo"-esque game. Could be great with a bit more polish.

Cool concept! Damn, that snowman is everywhere in this Ludum Dare!! :DD
Liked this a lot anyway, it was really relaxing!^^

Nice simple additive game.

Very cool, it was more fun than I thought it'd be

Simple enough, okayish for killing time. Not much else to say :D

Very fun game. It started to run very slow around 40.

Yeah, this is secretly just a browser-based stress test: how goods your 'puter/browser? I get up to 50+ on my mac before slowdowns - interestingly, Firefox handles things better than Chrome... those guys are gettin' good recently.

I like the music + sound :)
Nice game idea. Not my type of game. But nonetheless good work :)

Very addictive game, I spent some time on it already. I love score games.

After 45 you start losing money, you must have luck. I got 50 snowmen with 2700 moneys.

I couldn't find more - http://i.snag.gy/IJNCG.jpg
Anyway I really enjoyed the game. I appreciate things the other commentators listed. Game is really polished and even though it's just "find a wally", you put inside many additional mechanism (cash, bombs, etc). Only one thing I don't understand: why standard cards gives me mainly +1$, but sometimes I loose 20$. Which one does it?

I got that damn snowman! Simple and fun, good job :)

elbatanony 2014-12-10 01:50

This a very nice game, simple and elegant. Nice soundtrack too. Goodjob!

thopis 2014-12-12 10:24

Very good!

I started playing without reading any instructions and I thought it was just going to be as simple as finding the snowman but there was a lot more too it then I thought there was going to be and it was a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to playing it again in a second now I know all the rules. I like the strategy element I like the fact that you don't actually ever lose and it's up to you to quit when the going is good. Just like real gambling. The graphics and sound were good, and the whole thing was polished. The performance got bad after level 40 for me. You can cheat by clicking the cash out button just to pause it and still continue to look for the snowman.
