SO FUN! I love this clever take on a shooter\/tower-defense type game. The speed of the game feels really nice, with more and more kids coming at you (these kids are BRUTAL, by the way). Sometimes the kids get stuck on corner tiles and they spin around in a beautiful little ice dance. Those ice blocks are hard to catch! But yeah, the game seems really nicely balanced. Great job!"},{"author_name":"Alter","author_uid":"44845","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 5:23pm","epoch":1418145480,"text":"haha little children as antagonists! Funny!

Some sounds could have improved the overall mood. Anyway, good game, but difficult :)"},{"author_name":"mrexcessive","author_uid":"20788","time":"Dec 11, 2014 @ 9:58am","epoch":1418291580,"text":"Hi there. Nice idea. Could be more generous on snowballs... Ran out after three kids or something, so more of a puzzle\/resource limited game. Like the look.

It seemed to me once one kid was close enough to touch you, your game was pretty much over.  I think that the snowball refill rate could be turned way up.  \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Nice presentation and the tutorial at the start was a nice touch.  I do wish that you refilled the players snowballs and ice levels after the tutorial ended though!"},{"author_name":"gre","author_uid":"18803","time":"Dec 18, 2014 @ 12:24pm","epoch":1418905140,"text":"Fun game."},{"author_name":"sP0CkEr2","author_uid":"7135","time":"Dec 22, 2014 @ 5:54am","epoch":1419227340,"text":"aaaaahhhhh - thie children! keep them away - scary! - nice job - very tuff tho"}],"images":["ld31\/29079-43440341e71aeee7a21568c8638e2581.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/jamesofjames.itch.io\/snowmelt","text":"Web (HTML5)"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"15608","g_author":"29079","g_event":"LD31","g_eventkey":"26","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"15638","g_title":"SnowMelt","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"561","g_commentcount":"22","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\/29079-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"You play as a snowman, beset on all sides by vicious, destructive kids!
