Snowman Critter Control by Hoothoot

[raw]
made by Hoothoot for LD31 (COMPO)
Survive hordes of critters as a sole snowman! Avenge the death of your family!

First project made in Dart. It's actually quite neat.

I kinda liked how the combat mechanics turned out, not sure about the overall gameplay though. Would like to continue create something more thought-through with it.

Very nice concept! It starts out easy, but after a while you'll have to plan out your moves.
Great artstyle also!

There's a lot more depth to this than I was expecting. I agree that it's worth expanding, the basic mechanic is quite clever. :)

Nice work! At the beginning it is quite easy, maybe the difficulty there could be a bit harder, but in the end it gets really challenging.

Great game! At first I thought the game was going to be really easy. Then, once it got going I realized it's actually kind of hard. It had replayability though!

Very interesting concept! Just the hopping sound is maybe a bit too much, but I really like those combat mechanics too! Got 66 rabbits and I'm going to try again!

Very well done!

Really liked the game. Pretty easy though. Liked the graphics, super fun characters.

Good concept. One minor complaint is that there is no reason to have a limited number of snowballs, since they are constantly respawning (unless I just haven't gotten far enough, in which case you should ignore that).

I thought it was very funny and fun to play. It was hilarious to see that the more snowballs you pick up the bigger you get.

Great fun concept. Good sound effects. Somewhat difficult to control with a non-qwerty keyboard.

Very nice concept! At first I didn't realize it was a turn-based game though! Good work :)

Clever and fun to play.
But The difficulty curve is more like a gentle slope THEN a wall. I think rabbit spawn rate need more tweak. The jump sfx was also a bit repetitive, it dissuaded me from playing long sessions.

The turn-based system is great and adds a nice layer of depth to what would otherwise be a simple shooter. The jumping sound of the snowman can get a bit grating after a while but other than that I had great fun with the game!

Fun turn based arcade game (remember me super hot,a fps with similar approach).
