Really love graphics, but not the auto-generated music! :/
Anyway the game is fun, but the 3rd dragon is too hard to defeat compared to the second one.

Awesome little game, I love the snowman character. Can't get past the third dragon though. :{

I couldn't beat the third dragon even after several attempts, so highscore = 1112 or something like that.
I had the feeling that after a time dragons aim at you!
Music is pretty good too.

Pretty fun little game! Can't seem to get past the 3rd dragon, they seem to get smarter about coiling up around you. Awesome work!

Dragons take too many hits to freeze, after the second dragon I just closed the game as my spam-clicking finger was achey

Really cool, the freezing mechanic was a nice idea and i loved that the dragon corpses litter the battlefield. Good job!

I really like the motion of dragons' bodies, it looks really nice. Also the A.I. of dragons seem pretty well balanced. They aren't targeting all the time the snowman, but sometimes they seem pretty clever.

Maybe add a little bit of story and maybe some bonuses and it could very nice game. :-)

Fun little entry :) Didn't passed the 3rd dragon neither. Movement is a bit too slow paced, but that's a matter of taste.

Hi there. Like the presentation, segmented dragons. Seemed not quite enough going on, also segments took a bit long to freeze. Died in dragon spiral with only head of second dragon remaining. Like the chip-tunes music and fx.

Really liked the chinese style dragons there, they work really well for me. I thought I was doing really well then I got completely cornered :P

The snowman moves too slow in comparison to the dragon, and if it decides to dive at you twice in a row, you can go from full to dead with no way to counter it. It's an otherwise interesting concept, and the controls are responsive and easy to understand (though it could have used an auto-fire feature), it just needs some tuning to make it more reliant on player skill and less on dumb luck.

I loved the movement of the dragons and the game mechanic of freezing from the tail up.

The melted snowman is so sad. (In a good way.)

I like the fun idea and the graphics. The dragon AI seams a bit random, and the snowman feels annoyingly slow. Making him faster would affect game balance, though. :/
