You and your army of mighty snowmen are trapped in the small world of a snow globe. The evil snowmen are constantly attempting to eradicate you. Defeat them before they defeat you!

How to Play

Click on your snowmen (one at a time) to select them and right click to move them while they're selected (or on Android tap the move button then tap where you want to go). Left click the build snowman button to build a snowman at your snow storage (the big thing at the far left of the map). Building a snowman costs 25 snowballs (your snowball amount can be seen at the top left of the screen). To increase your income build an extractor using the button at the bottom of the screen. After clicking the button click on a tile with large snowballs on it. The nearest snowman will travel to it and build the extractor if you have enough snowballs. To win the game you must destroy the enemy's snow storage (the big thing at the far right of the map) and kill all of their snowmen. To attack just position your snowmen within range of an enemy building or snowman. When attacking your snowman shooting snowballs made of his own snow, so his health will go down. To heal your snowmen travel over a tile containing what appear to be smaller snowballs. If your snowman already has quite a bit of health then you will receive snowballs for traveling over the tile. Snowball tiles do not regenerate so use them sparingly.

Enjoyed the strategy and gameplay. This could be really fun as a co-op.

I like how even if you win it is still game over. :)

Pretty fun actually!
Sadly the difficulty comes from the interface. It's hard to move around and tel your snowmen to do things... I mean, there are a lot of small details that makes it harder: It's not always clear what snowman will build something. If you double click a snowman, it will get selected then un-selected, you dont control at what the snowman shoots (I think?).
A last thing that could have made the game more reactive : the snowman you last build is now selected.
Appart from that I was positively surprised! Good job!

Neat game. I included it in my Ludum Dare 38 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :)
