It's so happy, minus the fiery death raining from the sky. I think it would be great if you lowered the amount of fireballs, and maybe improved collision a bit.

Super hard to kill the snowman. A few collision bugs (I got stuck in the ground quite a few times). Not very forgiving with 5 lives total :) but I actually enjoyed the challenge quite a bit! Nice audio. Pleasant graphics and good controls make it a nice platformer. Couldn't quite see how the theme fit though. Great job nevertheless!"},{"author_name":"gquibao","author_uid":"46363","time":"Dec 11, 2014 @ 5:16am","epoch":1418274660,"text":"About the theme thing, I actually made a &quot;joke&quot; changing the words with ones with a similar phonetic, it's written on the description, Empire Game on Ice Cream."},{"author_name":"elvaq","author_uid":"36638","time":"Dec 11, 2014 @ 5:20am","epoch":1418274900,"text":"Looks like you guys had a lot of fun making this!

I'm not so sure I enjoyed the constant barrage of raining fireballs, as there were just far too many of them and it detracted from whatever other activity I was trying to preform. It made everything harder, but not hard in a fun way -- just harder in a more irritating way. I wanted to focus on making jumps and it was hard to time things to jump and land on clear areas because the falling fire negated both areas and I ended up dying either way. :(\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The idea is cute, it's very CandyLand-esque. I liked the idea of the Spoon Troopers. The music, while fitting, is fairly repetitive, though I didn't find it directly annoying."},{"author_name":"Nick Weihs","author_uid":"21927","time":"Dec 17, 2014 @ 3:03am","epoch":1418785080,"text":"I had a lot of fun playing through this.  The platforming was very simple but the addition of the fireballs falling from the sky made things a _lot_ more interesting.  I had to constantly be looking in two places, but dodging the fireballs really forced me to think about positioning a lot, which was fun.  The art was very simple, but it was immediately apparent to me what everything did, including the falling platforms.  The timing and movement on the platforms and fireballs was done really well.  I never felt like it was totally unfair except for on the last boss which I was able to figure out after a few attempts.  The collision detection was a little wonky (which I used to my benefit) i.e. you could jump through a platform and then be inside of it, which made the game quite a bit easier than it probably should have, but it also made the game feel a lot better, especially since I died a lot and had to restart.  The earlier levels were still fun to go through since I was experimenting and getting better with the controls.  Thanks for letting me play your game!  Hope you can come back and do another LD!"},{"author_name":"barryrowe","author_uid":"34236","time":"Dec 17, 2014 @ 4:01am","epoch":1418788560,"text":"Fun game, fun characters. I'm not sure how the theme is applied. The collision is a little wonky where you can get stuck in platforms coming from below them. The fireballs are a nice challenge."},{"author_name":"Mekuri","author_uid":"20130","time":"Dec 17, 2014 @ 5:27pm","epoch":1418836920,"text":"haha I love the drastic sound and animation when you die.
