Just to go back to "normal" clothing as soon as the holiday ended. Which in a way made sense because the weather was really warm to begin with. Kind of a weird behavior.\r\rOn a more game design related note. The game could certainly benefit from a more varied arrange of enemy behaviors and\/or player attacks. It would also be good for the hitbox to be smaller than the character(as in most shooters), that way you don't get hit by bullets that literally disappear in the air."}],"images":["ld31\/39067-6807cb9f5800ce2f950a11c05a475693.jpg","ld31\/39067-551ea61f7e7d55908615e47bfc44961e.jpg","ld31\/39067-df764d40432004894228846cf5b9b533.jpg","ld31\/39067-880af6a28f18072017c45dee019ff53c.jpg","ld31\/39067-8e66a8086046785ce1f6f6fac60e8120.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/hogtrick.itch.io\/ive-never-seen-snow","text":"Web"},{"url":"http:\/\/hogtrick.itch.io\/ive-never-seen-snow","text":"Windows"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"13895","g_author":"39067","g_event":"LD31","g_eventkey":"26","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"13925","g_title":"I've Never Seen Snow","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"393","g_commentcount":"18","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/407933\/39067-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/407933\/39067-shot1.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/407933\/39067-shot2.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/407933\/39067-shot3.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/407933\/39067-shot4.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Controls:\r\nW A S D to move\r\nAttack change direction\r\nI J K L to attack(You can keept it pressed to attack faster)\r\n\r\nWe made the game in about 20 hours of development, me as a programmer and my wife asthe pixel artist.\r\nWe would loved to make more graphics and to program more systems, like feedback do damage, and upgrades, but the time was short and for a game like this we need to test too much, to make everything balanced, not to easy or hard etc\r\n\r\n\r\nAbout the game:\r\n\r\nThis is a game about Christmas in Brazil.\r\nWe live in Brazil and grew up being encouraged to love and live with characters and situations that involve Christmas that are not ours!\r\nHere in Brazil in December, all the big shops, streets and houses mimic a fake snow in the midst of a temperature of 40 degrees.\r\nWe celebrate a date that doesn't make sense for us and we call it tradition, this game shows the exhaustion of a child who doesn't understand why need to want things for Christmas and doesn't even understand where it's coming from the snow, because she never saw ...\r\nat the same time she doesn't understand why her parents who are poor try to buy as much useless things that can in December.","title":"I've Never Seen Snow"}
