Jolly Jolly Snowfight! by vanZeben

[raw]
made by vanZeben for LD31 (COMPO)
I really had no idea what I was doing with this theme, so I just kinda plugged along and kept adding random crap until it turned into something :)

Controls are all listed in game, fun little wave based game that ended up more an experimentation with Dart and WebGL more than anything! Which I'm happy about :)

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

I like it, the only issue I have is it is sometimes hard to hit enemies. Also the falling snow gets distracting.

LOVE those graphics. Awesome. I don't like the camera though, sorry! I feel if it just followed you fixed in the center that would be better.

Amazing pixel art. The camera moves way too slowly.

I love the snowing effect, the gather snowballs animation, that there was a (kind of) day and night cycle. It felt really hard hitting the enemies with the snowballs, which was nice in it's own way (takes me back to the nes era). If you were to redo the game I would advice you rethink your priorities.

It's a little difficult, but the artwork is good and it has good humor. I agree w/ scias' comment.

Hi there. Impressed by the snow, Braid-like little man. Liked the music. Killed some zombies, didn't seem to be a win condition...

Great game! I found the mechanics easy to understand and I appreciated that the controls were visible in the game the whole time. The reloading mechanic was fun but I found that the screen scrolled a bit slow, I often ran straight into snowballs since I didn't see where I was going.

The unresponsive scrolling is a real problem, as enemies are often off screen and will hit you when you cant see them.

However, fix that and you'd have a great little game on your hands!

Cool game !
The art is pretty, and the gameplay is very fun once you understand the physics and the level design.
And the music is cool too :)

Nice art here!! Love the atmosphere you achieved with this game. Reminds me my young days playing on the street in the village... Thanks and congratulations!!

Solid game, great art, and nice mood. The mechanics are a bit tricky (the snowballs' arcs are tough to aim right) but it was fun to play.
