SnowFall by FredericRP
SnowFall is a game like TowerFall, but you are a snow man, and you throw snow balls !
You have a limited amount of them, but it refills after some time.
The unique level allows to teleport and has 4 shields that you can use to protect yourself against the other.
- Multiplayer : SnowFall is multiplayer only, that means you have to play with at least one friend (or your cat, or your dog..).
- X360 Controlers : the game supports currently only X360 controlers, I hope you have at least two of them !
- Unity 5 : I tried the beta of Unity 5 for this project, so I hope you will be able to play it on your computer.
- Snow flakes : If you don't enjoy the game, enjoy the snow flakes falling, following the wind, in the background
INPUTS
Left stick : move around and choose the shot direction
A : jump
B : throw a snow ball (you have 3 of them, each one respawn after 1.5sec)
You can stick to any platform and wall jump.
You can get one shield by landing on the red gifts : once you have one of them, you will open the other gifts but won't improve the shield (but you can take another one after losing your first one).

Two things that I would consider first fixes if you would work on it in post:
The force movement based on current speed for the double jump. (you cna jump really high if you double jump instantly after first jump).
And rather use a trigger button for attacking, so you could utilize the free fingers already on the controller! :)
I wish I would have more time to play more games, it seems there's a lot of good games here (ok, so now I've got more tabs opened on my browser..)
@SinistraGames > the jump was kind of buggy indeed. I've uploaded a new release post compo that change some behaviors so you can really double jump, hang on walls, and really choose your character.
I did not use a trigger to attack because one of my colleague has lost a phalanx and can not use them, so he wouldn't play it !
@freaknarf > can you tell me your configuration ? Also: you must at least confirm 2 players to be able to launch the game as it's multiplayer only. First time with controllers, sorry !
@calavera > there's 4 snowmen, do I have 4 minus points ? ;)
