Awesome =D\r<br\/>The shield seems to protect you no matter where you cast it but I really liked that you movements determined the strength of the spell. Would really like to see an actual release of this on mobile devices =)"},{"author_name":"Piat","author_uid":"25677","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 4:46am","epoch":1409028060,"text":"Simple concept, I used my second monitor to make giant snow balls that filled half the screen haha :D fun game."},{"author_name":"elkiwydev","author_uid":"40741","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 11:11am","epoch":1409051160,"text":"Nice concept but missing music and the theme of the LD isn't that strong.."},{"author_name":"Clyde","author_uid":"4196","time":"Aug 27, 2014 @ 4:31am","epoch":1409113560,"text":"Nice art and interesting gameplay, though the control scheme felt a little awkward?
