A few issues selecting units, sometimes when they were near IGLU couldn't select them.  The balance seems a little out of whack, tricky to build much faster than losses from enemy fighters, they've obviously started with more resources...  Good job!"},{"author_name":"raxter","author_uid":"14272","time":"Dec 14, 2014 @ 10:39am","epoch":1418553240,"text":"games doesn't seem to want to load for me on Kongregate?

Still some HP bars (or other form of output) to inform the units and building life status would be nice. Maybe it's me, but I also dont see the main objective of the game, is it to be alive more time (if yes, it would be nice to have a timer), is it to kill more snowmans (if yes, it would be nice to have a kills counter). Keep working hard!"},{"author_name":"lxd1","author_uid":"34792","time":"Dec 21, 2014 @ 5:53pm","epoch":1419184080,"text":"fun"},{"author_name":"Piscythe","author_uid":"29376","time":"Dec 22, 2014 @ 12:39am","epoch":1419208440,"text":"This is pretty solid, especially for a first RTS. I liked the mechanics and the rain of exploding snowballs when an enemy dies. However, I eventually got bored, feeling constrained by the lack of options and not really getting the sense the the difficulty was increasing over time. Still, this is the best traditional RTS implementation I've seen in an LD compo entry."},{"author_name":"maxmetallica","author_uid":"47374","time":"Dec 29, 2014 @ 7:36pm","epoch":1419881460,"text":"nice idea"}],"images":["ld31\/33839-ba7bd31bb299e9e8ee5e84b2a3d6bf46.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.kongregate.com\/games\/Ping78\/snowswarm","text":"Web"},{"url":"http:\/\/youtu.be\/XEw1bczVF4I","text":"Timelapse"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/ddaq15o8x0r1xrv\/LD31.zip?dl=0","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"14482","g_author":"33839","g_event":"LD31","g_eventkey":"26","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"14512","g_title":"SnowSwarm","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"560","g_commentcount":"14","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\/33839-shot0-1419203498.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"About the game:\r\nIt's my first RTS game which i wanted to make for while.\r\nYou have to defend against slowly increasing swarm of enemy units.

The price of them is on the top left corner of the icon and how many units building has in query is displayed on the bottom right corner of the icon.","title":"SnowSwarm"}
