LD31 — Entire Game on One Screen (14)

Wow!!!! Brilliant idea!
One of the games I enjoyed most so far and the music is good
Snowball Escape by The Number Guy 2014-12-09T20:39:00
The game is enjoyable for the first time but it's not really fun to play it a second time.
I have to agree with you about the theme, as we really disliked it, too. The snowman theme was a much much better candidate as a theme (IMHO).
A few more notes:
- the screen is simply a frame around the game and is IMHO a bit too small.
- put the screen more "front-facing" to the user: reduce the angle at which it's viewed.
- the top snowman drawing goes beyond the screen(!!)
- snowballs disappear a little too early, without reaching the end of the screen.
- to win it you can just stay in the central position and press fast the up key.
- this kind of games (shooting battles with another enemy) are very difficult to balance out. They are usually either too easy or too hard for the player, so try to avoid them :).
Sorry if I'm a bit too harsh with my comment. This wants to be constructive so you can improve on the next LD.
I may guess wrong, but I had the impression that you probably spent a lot of time on the background image and found yourself rushing for the game. For the next time start with a planning phase on paper. Decide what your game does and how much time you need for each feature. Delay the graphics at the end, after the game is done! :).
I also suggest you to do LD with a friend. It's much funnier than being alone :)
Snowmän! Factory by puppetmaster 2014-12-09T19:57:00
Really liked the game!
Some of the later levels are a bit tricky, but I did manage to finish them all. I would have really enjoyed more levels too :).
Overall a very fun game with solid game mechanics.
+1 for the snowman, which is the real theme of this LD :D
Eternal War by goodbadokay 2014-12-09T19:23:00
Very interesting game.
Simple and yet very enjoyable.
Loading is a bit too long

I really enjoyed how the objects floats due to the absence of gravity.
I miss sounds :(
One Killer - One Window by Thalia 2014-12-09T17:47:00
Very interesting and nice graphics!
It is fun to play more even several times!
I really like the way you used the theme

Interesting concept, nice game.
Reminded me of tetris.
The Stickman Cometh by woz 2014-12-09T17:27:00
Stickmen are nice!
Nice music, nice graphics!
The game is interesting, but it is very hard! I would consider adding barrels or walls or some place to hide.
I'd like to have a score counter as well.
Well done!
Flailing Arm Ninja vs Pirates! by RougeRogue 2014-12-09T17:15:00
Terrific! I really don't know how you could do better!
THE CHERRY.... by ramyaanudeep 2014-12-09T17:07:00

Graphics and music interesting as well.
Well done!

I quote mrspeaker.
Amazing, wonderful, brilliant idea!!!
The Vindicite Snowman by Goutye 2014-12-09T16:56:00
I really really really appreciated the frozen part, albeit I got stuck in a wall.
The "gaming" part is nice, but the frozen one was amazing!
Also, amazing graphics and nice music. Congrats!
The Top Floor by ohmmus 2014-12-09T16:43:00
I have to say "well done" since you manage to do everything on your first LD, but I found the game easy and not very interesting.
The concept is nice, but it tends to be repetitive. Also, it doesn't really fit the theme.
Still, a good work
Rotate And Hide by pcmaster 2014-12-09T16:35:00
interesting concept, but i'm not sure the maze really helps.
As some other comments highlighted, it could be more convenient to have a vast open space and try to fight the enemy in there.
Still an interesting game!
I really miss a soundtrack, though
