VOTE SNOWMAN (ON ONE SCREEN) by Ovidios
You are playing the unicode snowman, who tries to avoid negative votes and to collect positive ones.
This is my first ever LD-Entry.
It's nothing special and I initially planned way more (e.g. collecting votes while crawling) but that's all I was able to do in time.
The game was made using the *awesome* Love2d (or LÖVE) framework. Sound effects were generated using bfxr (http://www.bfxr.net/), the music was generated at Fake Music Generator (http://www.fakemusicgenerator.com/).
Enjoy!
EDIT: A POST-COMPO-VERSION IS NOW AVAILABLE ON ITCH.IO! THE FEATURES INCLUDE:
• improved menu
• improved win/lose-screen
• improved positive sound pitch
• added timer
• added own font
• added optional speed limit
• added easy way to add you own enemies!
##- MINI TUTORIAL -
##STEP 1: Make positive, negative and neutral version sprites of your enemy
##STEP 2: Put the sprites in the games "sprites"-folder (C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\LOVE\voteSnowman\sprites on Windows, ~/.local/share/love/voteSnowman\sprites on Linux or /Users/user/Library/Application/Support/LOVE/voteSnowman/sprites on OSX)
##STEP 3: Make a new text file inside the games "enemies"-folder
##STEP 4: paste the code found here (http://pastebin.com/zjW6M5Zz) into it, edit and save it.
##STEP 5: Start your game and you're done!
• added sugar-cane-enemies
• and probably things I forgot to mention... :P

Also liked how the screen was mega wide!
Love the style (and the screen size). The Hitbox on the hanging votes could be a bit smaller though, sometimes I picked up a negative vote when I thought it had already passed me.
The sfx for the positive vote collection is a little too high pitched though.
I quit it after a while, because nothing interesting was happening anymore and I was pretty far in the +, just read now, that there actually would have been a winning-condition.
And bonus point for the non caped speed :D
Next time, don't forget to set a maximum speed! Though, it was funny going so fast that there were many snowmen on the screen.
Nice mechanic and funny gameplay.
I like the graphic style!
Well done!
