Cool Graphics, Nice Game, The snowmen arn't visible in the trees prior to them coming, so I can't give you 5 on theme, but they look cool. I didn't realise I had a limit on snowballs, or didn;t see any way to add more

Hi there. Found it a bit tricky to navigate width of screen before faster snowmen could go from unseen to past me. Like the styling.

I am having problems with this game. The web version halts every time I through a snow ball. Using safari on OS X.

A lot of fun, but it's a pretty hard game. Nice graphics as well!

Simple but well done. Also very difficult!

Fun little arcade shooter. Didn't realize there was an ammo counter till it was too late lol. Super job!

highscore 19700 :) Never had to create new snowballs, maybe a bit more balancing needed.

Cool, looks like the 2d games, from the 80's I still like them. I did not know you had to move pats the edge of the screen to see everything.

I like the scaling effect on the snowmen, and the game looks pretty good overall. Other than that, there's not much more to say about this simple game.

Fun, fast-paced game. I got the idea immediately, which is good for a game like this. My fingers hurt from pressing the spacebar!

A fun game with nice graphics. The snowmen were a bit fast for me ;)

Super fun :) Sometimes the window jerked a bit, but the worked nice. Went out of ammo though. Will play it again :)

Nice graphics, fun game.
The scren was too large to manage the ammo and hearths.

Really good graphics and I like the SFX. This game ramps up perfectly in terms of difficulty.

I really like it. =D

Pretty nice! It's a relatively shallow game, but it's so fast that it's fun.

Just some advice for next time: Put your help information, like controls and power-up labels, on screen while the game is running instead of having a help screen. It's a little extra work, but it makes the game so much more accessible.

Pixel graphics are pretty good. Liked the smooth movement and some of the powerups. Wish there were a couple more powerups.

Score: 48000. I take it you didn't like the snowman ☃ theme? :P The game is fast but it feels balanced and fair. Getting an avalanche powerup is really satisfying!

Very nice. Gives me a nostalgic feeling!

I like the idea of having to spend time away from shooting to collect ammo. You have to balance the two things out. Fun! I got a score of 34300.

18700 on first try. Seems polished as I have nothing to pinpoint from game play side. Good job :-)

I kept wanting to unleash avalanches! But no avalanches erupted!

Sound effects could use some work. Snowman knows all, sees all.

I like the art and the use of the theme was good. It gets really frantic when you're trying to pile up on snowballs again only to have a massive amount of snowmen spawn on the other side of the screen! It's fairly challenging, I like it!

Oh god, my finger hurts! Needs the ability to auto-fire...

Cool game. I wish it wasnt so wide because its really hard to manage the whole screen.

Could use some cool powerups ;)

That was... quite hectic. Not a bad game, though a bit too hard for my tastes.
I feel you could've done a bit more with the theme.
Graphics were good, audio was ok, nothing memorable but it did the job.
Not really my type of game, but not a bad effort all in all!

Well, this was re-make of one of the oldest games in the history... with a different theme. I would have liked to get something additional. Maybe possibility to build some fortress against snowmen: this would require you choose between sacrifice snowballs for long-term gain (=building fortress) or short term gain (=avalanche).

Snowmen looked excellent. Nice touch on those weapons/hats details to give variety.

Mashy fun goodness. Really wish you had just overlaid your menu seems like a break of theme but otherwise solid.

Fun snowman shooter.
