Nice idea :)
Very clever idea! I love the small Katamari influence. :)
Haha, I love the derpy pixel santa. Fun and very cute art!
Thanks for the feedback! I've just done the first test in a browser other than Chrome (Firefox) and noticed some terrible graphical issues. I'm trying to fix that up now...
Ok; the worst of Firefox's issues are fixed, but I think the background scrolling seems more clunky (which I won't be able to fix). Any reports on IE/Safari? I suspect IE will have stitching issues etc. too.
wow.. that was something :)
grew my blocky ball so it didn't fit on screen.. then got to <1 FPS
good work
Great idea!
hahahaha, nice game!, remind me of katamari
Funny game. Kinda of reminds me of skifree. Can see this becoming an endless runner on mobile!
good christmassy fun :D
A good time. Hope I never in a house that can be taken down by tossing snowballs.
The katamari vibe is well placed here!
I like your graphics. The little goblins tunneling out of the ground are fun, and those are some nice jaggedy purple mountains you have in the background there.
Was there audio??
Nice idea to have attacks make you weaker. Too me a bit to figure out that you could actually destroy houses though. Feedback on that would've been nice.
Great idea incorporation both themes!
Unfortunately, there is no audio. I was going to add some BFXR sounds ('whump' for snow etc) and a quick chiptune, but I didn't get time. I spent a lot of the weekend doing other stuff, and I only started adding towers 45 minutes or so before the deadline...
@wuppy29 Houses will show wear in the form of snow on the roof and walls. If you're big enough, you can also roll straight over them.
Cool game. love how the characters get stuck on snowball :)
Really really solid entry, so much fun, runs beautifully.
Really can't find anything negative to say except that having to throw lots of snow at houses before I can squish them gets a bit repetitive and stops me from just rolling around squishing things which is where the real fun in this game lies. I would love to see hills added too.
Nice to see another snowball based game :)
All this positive feedback (and some problems I'm aware of :P) makes me want to update this post-LD. I think it could do well on mobile: I was thinking there could be different game modes.
Survival would be like the current game, but more difficult and focused on not dying. Sandbox (or snowbox) would just be rolling around and achieving hilarity, and there'd be an endless mode based on getting distance too (maybe down hills?)
It'd be a complete rewrite of course, but could be fun!
Great idea and I love the pixel art.
Pretty funny :D
2D Katamari! Love it!
mack: You should def. continue with this. I think you should go all in on a christmas theme (like jingle bell music etc.) snow blizzards/snow castle bosses, fights with other balls ... Perhaps you could sell it to some company that needs an ad-app/promotion for the next holiday season. The basic idea is very simple so anyone should be able to get it instantly.. And you can cute it up/spice it up to infinity with IAP and upgrades etc.
very nice game - great controls - great idea - well done
Nice graphics, cool game. I included it in my Ludum Dare 34 compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) https://youtu.be/Fm6iQk47yZ0
Was a bit unbalanced; after I was larger than the towers I could just keep rolling in one direction forever.
