Good fun. Simple, effective and enjoyable. I would have liked to be able to move the mouse at the same time as moving the character though.

Update on my comment, seems that moving the mouse and typing is a limit of the maching I am using at the moment, not to do with your game.

Very nice, not overly difficult but still challenging. Pretty fun too.

This is a really creative idea for a shmup! Loved being able to charge of slapshots but wish they did a bit more damage. Music is funky but starts to get repetitive after a while. Stronger enemies are TOUGH! Would love to see some reflections in the ice and/or snow particles to liven up the atmosphere a bit.

Oh God. Now I really hate smowmen. They are like Hydra snowmen. You kill one and then more of them appears!!! An they are killing me over and over again. Now I'll have snowmen nightmares :) Very good game!

I like the icy controls. and the changing and challenging taktiks of the snowmans. Nice game.

Interesting physics! Game is pretty bland though i do believe it has potential. Nice entry!

Lovely game. It seems like too hard to hit the snowman. But anyway it's funny!

Fresh idea! Really well done all over. Great art and music. Good feel to the shooting. But man it was pretty hard :P only got to the wave after 1st boss. Co-op for this would be cool, passing your buddy for extra damage one-timer :D Good job with this one!

Great overall game, really cool low-friction physics, but I couldn't manage to get all that far (only got to the fifth level). Also, nice sound effects.

I love the smooth mechanics and how fun the game is! Very innovative way of combining the actual theme with the faux theme ☃.
One thing that could make the game feel more polished, and perhaps a little harder to play, is to make the player move more like one would move when skating (don't know how that translates into the simulation, but I would love to see it!)
All in all it's a great entry.

Super great arcade game, only suggestion is that the friction on stopping is less, so that you can continue along a trajectory while charging a shot.

Juego sencillo y adictivo. He llegado a la tercera oleada y ya lo he visto demasiado dificil para mi. Felicidades.

Simple, addictive game. I have come to the third wave and I have already seen too hard for me. Congratulations.

Simple and good game. Like the audio and game concept. The
player control too smooth, hard to survival in higher level :)
