Game of Youth by Thorig

[raw]
made by Thorig for LD31 (JAM)
Game of Youth is based on my son playing outside with his toy lightsaber. The imaginary enemies are replaced with evil snowmen.

The goal of this game is to survive as long as you can. There are no points for killing snowmen, only for each second you survive.

The controls are:

Moving around wasd or the arrow buttons.
Attack n button.

Have fun playing!

The premise is really sweet :) Wish the enemies arrived faster and there was more room for error (life, lives, etc).

I found the movement a bit clunky, I would like to be an agile lightsaber wielding child :)

Cute graphics! 'A' wasn't a great choice as a restart button since it's also a movement key, and I would have liked a quit button.

n1, really liked the snowmen - move and death animation so smooth :D and also the mechanic that they may charge at you

player animation was fine too, but seemed a bit chunky in comparison, environment was nicely done as well
