Great visuals, looks really polished. Nice work!
Really smooth controls, the game looks great. I do think the noise/screen flash when you're taking damage is a bit too harsh, however. Overall really nicely done
I always love to see RPG Maker projects! I worked on one myself for about 4 months earlier this year, I find that platform gets a lot of undeserved hate. Nice work, I liked your game!
I loved it, great execution of a really popular format. I liked the effects on your voice, you do a good Glados-like. Had a great feel to it, I love these kinds of games so I'm probably biased but really nicely done.
I thought that the feel was really good, the simple audio and the "big, slow" feel to the controls conveyed the underwater/driving a submarine feel pretty well. Nicely done!
I guess it's kind of nitpicky but I didn't like that you could jump out of the water, it felt a bit wrong to me, especially since you start close to the surface it's easy to accidentally jump out of the water and it felt weird.
Overall nice feel!
I liked the idea (probably a lot of jammers can relate to that right now), and the visuals were really satisfying, but I found the audio to be really out of sync with the mood of the game. I know it's hard to come up with audio resources for a competition like this but this game really deserves something...softer, maybe? Less digital sounding? But overall nice game and really great look
This is a fantastic game, the art style is great, the gameplay is unique and fun, I honestly am having a hard time finding any criticism of this game. Really cute, great work!
Hmm, thanks I will look into it
Standalone builds of the game for Win/Mac/Linux now available for anyone having issues with the web player
Some nice modifications on the classic snake formula, I liked the little +10/+30 text things that fade out. I also liked the little red projectiles. Nice job!
Loved the visuals, that is such a cute squirrel! Fun game, very lighthearted, my only complaints are the audio is a bit jarring and the controls feel a bit unresponsive, I sometimes felt myself expecting to turn and still be running the same direction I was previously running in. Overall, I liked it, good job!
Incredible visuals, pretty cool game, though I did get suuuper dizzy playing it! Nice job
I really liked the art in most of the game. Very complete seeming, with the loading screen and those kind of nice touches.
A bit more time dedicated to polish on this (ie style the buttons on the title screen) and it would be great! Nice work.
I love the guard's thoughts :) Hilarious game
Cool visual style and the sound effects were very fitting and satisfying!
Love the art for this game!
This game has a great mood. Nice experience!
I love the graphics!
Pretty awesome, I love the unique/distinct/pleasing visuals.
I liked the audio, the visuals could certainly use a bit of work and the game is certainly begging for some polish overall.
Great work on the art, and I love the reload mechanic as well as how tricky it is to actually aim exactly where you want. In real life, when you're trying to hit someone with a snowball, there's an actual chance you will miss them, which is hard to translate to games in the age of point and click exactly where you want to aim. I really like this submission
What a five star game, fantastic use of theme, very fun, and I love the art!
Such awesome visual effects, I want to use those explosions!
I love the visual style, it was indeed a bit confusing to try and figure the game out but that's the appeal. Nice work
Great visual style
I really dig that song. The win condition is cool, although I agree with some people -- I wish there was a bit more complex strategy to it (maybe some risk/reward thing for moving up close? Like stronger bullets but you have to risk getting shot to get them?) Anyway I really liked it, nice work
This game was hilarious, a bit hard to control but I was a big fan of the audio
Super innovative, really interesting game. I agree that I can't believe you managed to pull this off in 48 hours! Nicely done
Really neat control scheme. It was a bit uncomfortable at first using non-alphabetic keys but you get used to it pretty fast. Fun and creative entry!
So much cuteness!!
This is so visually stunning! Gorgeous low poly art, perfect snowflakes, and those animations! Very very impressive :)
Wow is this game ever beautiful. Nicely done!
You know, as simple as the background music is, I really like it :) I also like the sound for moving stuff around. Overall a neat game, and I agree this would be sweet on mobile
This is so cool, the terminal is very satisfying to type into. Really interesting game idea
The visual are really appealing and the audio is such a great touch! Nice work
I agree that the camera angle probably isn't the best. I really liked the music!
Very nice, this is a great execution the theme - a great touch to only reveal the map as the player progresses. Nice work
This is a great mechanic, I can't wait to play this with someone else
I love that Christmas tree
The visuals in this game are awesome, and the take on "one screen" is really really well done. Nice touch with the commotion in the other room.
Really cool art style, I really dig the aesthetic. I liked the music as well! The ball was a bit confusing to control using space but great entry overall
I really liked the zoom effect, the controls are simple but I felt they were really responsive for what I wanted to do.
Fantastic mood and music! The gameplay was kind of confusing and the menus are a bit unpolished but overall this is awesome
I like the simple visuals and the music. I agree that the player was a bit hard to control and it was too easy to fall off.
The art is fantastic in this game. The audio is cool, the background music "scratchiness" is a bit overwhelming I find but the melody is good and the sound effects are perfectly suited to the aesthetic. Great entry
Incredibly well-polished visuals, nice juiciness added to the rockets. Well executed!
I like the art, I feel like this game would benefit a lot from a bit more "flash" -- like some kind of explosion instead of the enemies just disappearing. nice game though!
For some reason this game reminds me of Dr. Mario. Maybe the colors? Anyway I like the mechanic, giving different powers based on which molecule you collect more of is a really cool twist, it gives you more of a reason to prioritize one color over another if you end up having to choose.
I love the look and I totally agree with everyone, super suuuper addicting
Wow, the graphics and visual polish in this game are incredible. The controls are tough but once you get used to them they're actually pretty natural for this game. Nice work!
Wow, this game is great on so many levels -- clever, well-designed puzzles, and audio that really grabs you, sets the mood, and feels satisfying to interact with objects. The graphics look great, fantastic entry through and through!
(Ps -- fellow canadian redditor, very excited to see you guys getting together and producing something of such high quality!)
I love all the snowman themed games :) I love the simplicity, nice work
I just love maze games! Nice work
The visual effects on this are great, the main menu is very polished.
The art is so awesome in this game. I love the characters, it's so visually well put together. Challenging as well, and a very great way to strategically power up between rounds. Fantastic entry, one of the best games I've played so far!
Insanely polished visuals, the gameplay is a bit confusing though
Really awesome, this is such a sweet concept. Linking is such a great mechanic. Nice work!
Interesting idea, I was a big fan of the music and the static sound effect. NIce take on the theme
Delightfully weird, I loved the visuals and music/sound effects. This super low fi aesthetic is so appealing. Nice color palette. The actual gameplay is a bit monotonous but it's snuggled into such a great aesthetic.
Love the character!
Really nice visual effects, really fun to play. Nice work!
The audio and visuals work together in such a sweet way, this game has a fantastic atmosphere!
I really dig the visual style, I was a bit confused about what was causing me to die at first.
What a great idea, this is a super interesting experiment! Some nice visual effects too
Great work, I love the visual effects. Nicely polished!
Absolutely hilarious, I love the art and of course the high quality sound effects :p Nice work, I dig One Screen Island
The visuals are fantastic!
Ah so nice, 5/5 on the theme, really unique
The audio and art are really great -- nice work
It’s got great music – this sort of percussion thing that reminds me of animal crossing. And an amazing art style. Really inspirational! Great work
I really like the sounds in this game. Really nice, simple art -- the enemy spider thing animations are really nice. Overall a great entry, good work
Super tough but I'm into it. As a fellow creator of a frustratingly tough game...I salute you
Really simple and elegant visual style, and great/clever use of the theme! Everything you could want from a Ludum Dare entry. Great job!
Love the name btw
I adore the art and music. Nice work
Really fantastic audio, nice polish, I love it
