Not bad. Cool idea, with the growing/shrinking, needing to get hit to stay loaded.

SNOWMANNNNNNNNN!!!

I like how the snowman gets bigger when pelted with snowballs.

5193. The head shots definitely make a difference. This reminds me a lot of your toaster game from last LD. I agree that the big/small mechanic is very nice. It is a neat concept to balance getting hit, damage, possibly losing and point adjustments after 60 seconds that way.

Snowfight + monster = So inocent and original!
The particles made it difficult to see the snowballs though.

Puny humans, your feeble attempts to kill me only makes me stronger!!! Interesting game, I liked the idea of snowballs coming at you are like just ammo for you to throw back at them. The graphics were also very nice, and this was just flat a fun game to play. :)

Haha, cute game! I wish there was music/sound!

This was great! The fall-apart animation was a nice touch. I was kind of hoping to see the Unicode snowman from LD31, though :)

Like the idea of getting bigger/smaller, thats a nice dynamic. I found it a bit difficult to see the actual snowballs from the particles effect, perhaps could have been a different way to do that. Shame you didn't have time to add some sound effects/music too. But its a nice little game.

Cool game !

Thanks for your comments, everybody! I'll make the particles smaller and semi-transparent in the post-jam version.

@merrak: Seems like Ludum Dare has a curse on all snowmen from now on. ;)

Pretty fun game with a creative core mechanic of having to get hit and grow but not grow too much.

vikingpotato 2015-08-27 14:37

Changing size looks like a fun mechanic! good job

That was quite a nice fun and innvative game. It made me smile.

spotco 2015-08-28 04:39

was surprisingly fun to jump around and do 360 noscopes with snowballs :)

Interesting how much my gamestyle changed after I read the instructions, because at first I naturally assumed that the hitting makes me weaker, but it doesn't make sense in the context of snowman, doesn't it :D Not bad, fun clicking browser game for those empty timeslots in work :)

Interesting concept. I actually like the idea of the snowman growing larger whenever it gets hit by the snowball.

jupiter_hadley 2015-10-08 19:20

I liked getting hit to let my snowman grow. Cool game. I included it in my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/0AIZTu6ja8E
