3D Top Down Shooter in which you must defend your house from an army of evil snowmans. There's also a catch to this, Snowmans are invincible in snow. So in addition to gunning them all down you must clear your driveway of snow!
You can play it on your keyboard and mouse OR gamepad.
Game also has coop mode, so you can play with a friend!
Me and my friend done it! AGAIN! We're proud of this one! Hope you enjoy! This time we not only focused on the learning, but we've tried to make the gameplay fun. We hope that the shooting feels good!

One point of critique, don't call your file game.zip. A lot of people are voting for a lot of games and finding the zip in your download folder is annoying if everybody names it that :)
### What you did well:
The graphics were really clean and carried an obvious Winter theme. The sound effects also fitted well with the game. I didn't have a chance to try the co-op but from what I've seen it looks rather fun.
### To improve:
I kept clicking out of the window because I couldn't see where my cursor was. A crosshair for this sort of thing would be nice. I also think the ability to carry multiple weapons would be nice as well as a melee weapon such as a shovel.
But overall, a great game!
My complaints are that the camera angle was weird. And the game was too easy, I decided to stop at 1000 points because the enemies didn't challenge me enough. I think the number of enemies should increase over time, but other than that the game is great.
Check out my game if you would like!
Really liked the visuals and the running animation. The shotgun sound got a bit loud at points, and it was a bit unclear how some enemies took multiple shots to kill (ofc larger enemies take more, but same sized snowmen took 1 or 2 hits). Menu looked nice :)
You may want to limit the player's movement space. Once he gets too low the camera gets weird
Also, I fell off the edge
Don't forget to play my game too! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/fishing-day
Nice game, I like graphics, but it would be really great to have a wide range of weapons (:
The control of the player is ok, but I feel that the feedback to shoot the snowmen should be more satisfying; they should explode with a gushing sound and throw snow everywhere of something :) Killing them could /should be more satisfying ! Also it would be natural to hide bonuses in their body bodies :)
I do think that you could've explored the theme better though. This year's hard because most games would adhere to it by virtue of getting harder as you go further in the game.
