What a nice polished little game! The controls were a little annoying, but seems it's meant to be played on phones, so that makes sense. The graphics and sounds are great, makes the game feel very juicy :) Also great incorporation of theme!
I had performance issues for some reason, such as low frame rate. but it was still playable. Max I got was 25. It really fits the theme.
Nice game with great visual and fun mechanics. Please change snowmans to zombie-snowmans to make game more satisfying :-E~~
Ok I realized the game was lagging on Chrome but it's fully playable on Microsoft Edge (No frame drop). Not sure why. If anyone can let me know, I'll appreciate it! Really loving bashing those snowmen off.
@lexyvil Lexyvill, try to turn on GPU acceleration in your Chrome Browser, because it's turned off by default.
@mikhail-ershov That did the trick, thanks! As I did notice a few other games affected by this, so that'll help.
What a nice UI & Nice idea :snowman2: The controls were a bit tricky in the browser, but it worked! Keep going :)
Fun short arcade game I really appreciate. Nice to just have mouse controls, although the UI confused me a bit. Graphics are clean and easily readable. A leaderboard would have been great. Good work.
Love the *juice* here! Definitely would have like better PC controls as that was a constant struggle. Also it's hard to tell you're sinking until you're sunk lol.
Fun and funny game. good job
Short and sweet game, very fun. The graphics are very clean and cute β Definitively executed well on the theme :D
amazing game ... Addicting !
Very nice game. Some things did bug me though but overall I enjoyed it and it being a complete package definitely makes it better.
Controls on web, it is very frustrating to control. I would rather that the movement circle stays where I started the movement from instead of staying in range of the mouse, many times I would run out of screen space or be unable to find what direction I am moving in because I didn't know where the mouse was relative to the movement circle.
Although the lack of variety isnt that big of an issue it still made the experience more bland, perhaps something like a larger version that is rarer but takes less knockback and sinks the ice more would have been nice. But it is a jam though so I think it's alright
Weirdly it got laggy near the end. I had like 10 on the screen and was lagging, I have a pretty powerful pc and I wonder what the experience is like on android if I am having performance issues.
I did really enjoy the music and graphics though, plus you really caught the feeling of a mobile game (short and sweet) so massive props!
Very good execution! Everything's top notch. The snowmen screaming when I push them really got me haha!
A really juicy and cute game. Nice slapping sounds. :smile:
Controls on desktop were annoying though, would be better if the player just walked towards the cursor, or if you could use keyboard arrows.
Really nice graphics and juice! I would have loved for the mouse controls to be better optimized, but it was fun still
It's somehow pity that I'm an iPhone user, so it's a little bit tough for me to control the snowman by clumsily dragging my mouse XD
But I enjoyed the time! The feedback of hitting has a pretty great feel.
I loved it a lot, reminded me of Crash Bash when I was young :) You should probably add some instructions for playing it, I didn't quite get it at first although it is pretty simple once you get it ! Also, sometimes if I put my mouse out of the screen it seems that the game invert the input which can be a bit annoying from time to time. Other than that, great job, it was really fun :D
crispy polish, the sound+shake response to a bump is very satisfying; the music is fun; the graphics and UI are stylish and clean! It felt like something that would take a week just to go through playtesting let alone start-to-finish in a jam weekend. Really solid work
@kuchinashi you can play WebGL version on iPhone!
@anthony-katona Thanks! β Seems like you know what you are talking aboutπ Yes, IRL it would take at least two weeks. God knows what kind of a berserker tantrum comes along with that nifty countdown timer on the main page lol Β―\\_( Ν‘Β° ΝΚ Ν‘Β°)_/Β―
Very polished and juicy, also very satisfying and stylish. cannot even begin to imagine how you made this in a weekend.
Impressive polish, this game looks good! The controls are hard at first but I got used to it. Great job!
loved it haha
I love it. The virtual joystick is a bit annoying to use on PC though, but as the game is mobile first, I guess it feels better there.
Really loved the little satisfying animation when you hit the snow men. The background sound was well suited too
Great fun game! Love polished graphics and sound effects.
You absolutely have to publish this in some store!
@fosf0 that's the whole point! π
kicks feel good
Pretty cool. Reminds me of my 2019 js13k jam game https://js13kgames.com/entries/fat-kids-on-trampoline Could probably use more variety of enemies, such as aggressive ones that try to push you too. Or they appear later? I only got to the fat crowned one.
I love this party game like, Good control and good feels!

Well done! Take a candy! :candy:
I loved it! Simple, funny and polished
This game is sooooo cute :D very polished!
:) Wow, this was so much fun! The animations and sfx are sooo satisfying. Whack, pow! THIS ICE BLOCK IS MINE!! Also, I love some good honkey tonk. This is the perfect scope for a jam game--very short and simple idea, but extremely well polished! Thank you, this is definitely my favorite jam game so far!
I launched the game and the controls are so good that it seems to me that I have been playing this game for a long time) Nice idea!
This is a very nice game. It's even better than most hyper-casual games on Google Play, and there are no ads! Pleasant visuals, all elements blend well together. I really liked how the game's limit was implemented harmoniously. Not just as a regular timer, but in terms of the number and weight of the opponents on the ice. Great move! I enjoyed playing it and I'll let my daughter play it too.
@diralf Wow, thanks for feedback!
Awesome, it looks great plays nice, and is very fun and engaging ! I enjoyed it a lot. GG.
This is an adorably cute game! I had a blast playing it!
It's done so well here that I couldn't even think of what to change. Really good interpretation of the theme, though simple.
Lasted for 45 seconds the first time... sadly can't smack the off quick enough. Well done nice game
I am the snowman king :crown: :snowman:! You son of XX, get out of my way!
A really fun game, which could have multi-player mode and become a party game! The gameplay is really enjoyable, art and sound are funny, I couldn't find any disadvantage of this game. Definitely one of my favorite ones.
Haha so funny, 5/5 So cute and polished GG team, good job !
GG
LoL, this entry has the same gameplay core idea as ours :D But they have so different mood and feeling! Your gifs made me install an apk file. The visuals is great!
Fun game! Great interpretation of limit space, love it!
Fun, polished game! I like how the ice floe sinks as there are more and more snowmen on it. Great (choice of) music! We got to 83 seconds! :)
A really fun game with cute graphics and sounds. Love it.
Fun game. I like the mood and simplicity.
Pros: - cute graphics - nice snowman shader - super animation and sound of poping snowmen - music fits perfectly - simple but addictive gameplay - works on pc and mobile (althout it was harder to control on mobile for me) - clever mechanic of sinking ice - great interpretation of theme - very polished game - well balanced
Cons: - NONE
I won't be surprised if this game gets to top 3 in some categories. Congrats!
Great small game! Lots of tiny details which I enjoyed. I like the visuals and the colors. Also the snow effect looks nice. The sound effects are really great, too. The controls take a bit time to get used too, keyboard and mouse, but I think that's part of the experience. Good job!
Epitome of juicy, polished, focused game jam game design. This is how it's done folks. The controls are tight, it's oozing with character, from the cute snowmen, to the old-timey music, to the weather and bobbing ice. I'm not great at 'polish' myself, and I've been thinking about what makes something look 'polished' in general. Well, this is the example. Well done!
the art is really clean and gameplay is really straight forward in a good way. enjoyed playing it. It matched the theme perfectly.
Very cool, no pun intended! Runs very smoothly in Chrome too btw. I was having a lot of fun with this one. My snowman turned out to be remarkably grippy on this block of ice, which actually made playing much more enjoyable than I expected.
The game is very complete, with a good touch, a cute art style, and a very suitable theme, which is very good
Great polish and fun game! Well done!
How can such a simple mechanic be so entertaining! It greatly reminds me of the mini-game involving ball throwing in Super Mario Party! However, it has a very unique touch: enemies of different types keep emerging and there's a snowman-themed atmosphere! The graphics and music are perfectly matched, creating a very good game experience. Great game!
Nice game!!graphics is so cute!!!I have a interesting experience when I played it.So fun!!!
Fun Arcade game and cool graphics.
I love the smaking sound and feedback! Super "cool" graphics and arcady gameplay! I had a lot of fun smaking the kings off : D
[Thanks for submitting your game to stream](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1945057375?t=03h47m33s)
The charming levels is off-the-charts with this one. :) The art style pairs well with the simple yet addictive gameplay. Awesome job!
Hey, Iβm the host of the Ludum Dare score chasers tournament for this jam
Wanted to ask for score chasers if you were fine with me playing some gameplay of your game in the background in the waiting period. In the waiting period while a music track is playing itll cycle through gameplay from a bunch of different games in the background
@ategon I'm not sure I completely understood everything you said, but it's definitely a 'yes'! π
Superb polished entry!!! I had a lot of fun. Simplicity at its finest.

Congratz of finishing the project! Cool, simple and well polished title. Great base for further updates. Good work and see you on the next one! froust.png
Funny how our teams came up with a similar idea! I guess great minds think alike :smirk:
You have much better indication of the iceberg sinking than we :sweat_smile: Taking notes!
Really nice and polished entry, love it! The graphics and animations are so smooth and cute, and the smacking sound just makes it even funnier, never thought it would be so addicting just to push snowmen off an sinking iceberg but here I am. Though the controls were a bit tricky at first because of the slippery but once I got a hang of it, it's just incredibly fun and engaging! Unfortunately my potato phone wasn't able to handle it very well so I can't tell how it performs on mobile devices, but I believe it wouldn't be too bad judging on how well performed the web version was.
Overall, great entry with a very creative yet simple idea, suits the theme really well, this has to be scored high in some categories once the results are announced. Good job on this one guys!
Extremely well polished game! Super cute artstyle, great juicy effects with screen shake, nice particles on the snow and wind, very nice music. Just overall very well made, you guys obviously know what you are doing :). Amazing job!
I got to 76 seconds as my best score :).
Dude. Why do I enjoy this game so much? The premise is so simple, but the polish makes it incredibly addictive. Great feel, especially working within the time constraint.
A great example of how a simple concept with just a few mechanics can turn into a very fun game! All the movement, screenshake, particles, etc really give it a polished feel. I will say I was my own worst enemy playing this, ultimately launching myself off the iceberg each time. :laughing:
Great job!
ItΒ΄s a really nice and well edited entry with great music. Even though the concept itself is simple, you managed to make this game quite addicting!
Great job!
Actual fun game! Loved the interaction and the music π reminds me of an old flash game, drunk santa on the roof ππ
Saw that list of highscores on the main page, had to try it. :grimacing:

Very fun game!
@skosnowich Wow! Straight to the top! It wasn't a breeze, I figure! βπ
Good job, the game is super smooth!
The feedback makes the smacks all the more rewarding! Thanks for this funny entry.
really fun and very satisfying game. the sound design was good as well.
This was one of the few games that I gave full marks on everything, everything was perfect. One of the best examples of a super successful jam game. Small scope, great graphics and sound too, and the hardest thing to do: super fun. It's a shame to stop playing, my daughter will really like this game. Imagine what could be added here in a post jam? The possibilities are endless. Addictive game.
@lincolnsalles oh, thank you so much! βπ
