I justed aced all the test in Snowball university ;)
So you can pretty much call me a pro now. Awesome game, cute and fun!

If there was a cuteness rating this would be 6/5. So cute. Also I am a snow master.

Really funny game! And the art is so cool

trueboolean 2015-12-14 21:34

This has some really good music and graphics. You did an excellent job with this!

Simple, fun and snowy. I love it.

Awesome atmosphere. Couldn't get a hang of the controls though. Felt weird.
Also, quit on one of the default buttons makes me accidentally quit twice. Escape to quit is good enough.

Loved the soundtrack! Really cute aesthetic and clever use of two button control. Short and very sweet.

It looked cute, but I couldn't quite get the hang of lesson 2:( Felt like the hit detection was off, or I just didn't know what to do. Sometimes I'd roll the ball back, and sometimes it'd miss for no apparent reason.

Such a lovely game.

Audio is supernice! Especially like the snowman voice :) The game itself is great, fun, nice intepretation of the theme(s) and neatly presented. Would've liked to see more combinations and I feel like I'm looking too much at the snowball-bar. Otherwise good job ^^

I have no friends to play with me, but I still have fun. I like it.

kimau 2015-12-15 21:24

That is really cute and fun. I quit a few times accidentally. Really fabulous!

maxamaden 2015-12-15 21:25

I love it! It's fun, the graphics are nice, you can play it with two people and it's got a good soundtrack - what more can you wish for!? Keep up the good work - I look forward to playing more of your games!

beautiful game, both the sounds, music, the animations and the choose theme. pretty nice game!

Super cute! Hard to time the hits just right

threelivesgames 2015-12-15 21:40

So cute.

ajopart 2015-12-15 22:13

Well done !

mechamism 2015-12-15 22:14

Very cute!

It was charming alright. About the difficulty curve, the first lesson felt like the most tricky to time right, but after that it was smooth sailing.

Awesome job! I had a lot of fun playing this game.
The graphics and sound are great and I loved this game's mood.

gamepopper 2015-12-16 20:29

Loved the dialogue between the snowmen and the students, gameplay was pretty challenging, although I think there is an input delay on the keyboard.

fluidvolt 2015-12-18 08:58

Super cute! I love the evocative music and charming graphics. But I love, love, LOVE the character voices! I'm a sucker for that game gibberish, like from Zelda or Animal Crossing. Lots of fun details in this, and I made it to the end after enough tries. Stay cool!

gfm 2015-12-18 09:35

Great (and really cute) graphics and music!

However, I couldn't get used to the gameplay...

The "power slider" is too far away from the character, so I had to either not look at the chars and try to guess the timing, or I had to time it correctly but guess the type of shot.

Not to mention that there is some input lag/dropping. I'm not really sure if it happens during the game (probably doesn't), but I got really annoyed at having to press 'D' a lot of times until it finally registered and the game restarted.

Also, a few times I was able to correctly roll the snowball back but the game registered as a miss and I would be forced to restart that round...

@GFM Thanks for your comment, your feedback is appreciated. You're right! Although you can also time a shot based on the sound ;)

miggygman 2015-12-19 05:08

Cuteness overloaded!
If there was some sort of AI to the game, it would be perfect, otherwise great game!

klianc09 2015-12-25 22:24

Really clear and good-looking art style.
It's quite difficult, had a lot of problems at first properly timing it (especially the "normal" shots, that sometimes have been quite fast), but when I managed to get the hang of it, it felt like there were missing some challenges. Like some combinations of the different shot types.

zanzlanz 2016-01-03 20:32

Very cute game with awesome graphics!
The controls didn't feel very natural to me, since it failed me when it looks like I timed it fine. But other than that it was nice! An (endless) arcade mode would definitely suit a game like this. :D Great work!!
