Sno-Man by JayCee23
My first game for Ludum Dare. My first game ever, in fact!
You are a snow man. Run around, stand on piles of snow to collect them, avoid flaming baddies, building turrets to shoot at enemies, wells to collect snow in blizzards and repair nearby buildings, and traps to hold enemies in place.
Java applets are a jerk, let me tell you.
To play the web version, go to your Configure Java,
go to the security tab, and add these two sites to the list:

Very good game for the first time.
Works fine on windows.
Fun little game.
But I'm not sure of the use of the second building.(the one with a blue flag)
But I love the idea of a tower defense based on cooldown rather than income - it prevents you from getting stuck in too much of a rut. And of course, it's not really even a traditional tower defense, it's much more open than you normally get and that's an improvement on the genre.
I think I would have loved this game if I knew what was going on.
And I am loving all of the feedback. It's giving me so many ideas for things I can add and improve. Keep it coming!
Always make sure to remember the main focus of your game -- the fun factor. Cover your information well with menu screens and images so that the player can focus more on having fun and experimenting with the gameplay than fumbling with controls and trying to figure out what everything does sans verbal description. :)
This actually needs very little to get to a point where it could be released to the masses and appreciated. FANTASTIC first game. :)
