Avalanche by jlouisB

[raw]
made by jlouisB for LD34 (JAM)
In this game, you play a snowball, and you become bigger and bigger in your fall.
The goal is simply to crush the skiers and to avoid the trees and the buildings.
We have tried to add a fun "avalanche" system where your ball is divided to controls more snowballs

Use the Arrows keys (right and left) to start and to move your snowballs.

The game has been made with Unity mainly during two full days

We are a team of students behind this game :
Game/level design : Simon-Pierre Mattei, Guillaume Laug茅, Kamil Nahouri
Graphics : Kamil Nahouri
Programming : Jean-Louis Boudrand
Sound design : Antoine Tirmarche

Have fun !

@Dianouille : Not bad... but with a bit of luck and practice, you can reach the 400000/500000 :)

Extra points for being able to crush both Santa Claus and Nicki Minaj ! Good job guys, it's a fun game.

Adorable, can't lie though, I wish I could've gotten an even bigger snowball. OH! Thanks monetai, I heard the music in the background and thought I had Nicki playing somewhere, I was like "embarrassing"... That was her in the game! Solid extra!

This was enjoyable, and nice use of both themes. And also appropriate setting for the time of year! I found the snowball splitting to be pretty clever, I wasn't expecting that. Great music and visuals as well!

Great game! I really enjoyed the fact that I could split and control several snowballs :-)
Congratulations!

Santa is not coming to town no more.
Best part was following tracks - gave me killer tire vibe == fun.
Plus for Nicki - I was like "who's listening to... oh that's me".

Very beautiful graphics. I missed sound effects. It's kinda cruel to have to hit the people and animals to get points, but it's an avalanche after all. I enjoyed the smooth movement (and grow) of the snowball. Fun game. Nice job!

Quite fun, that's nearly identical to one of my ideas for this LD, but I couldn't make it better than you ;-)

This was an ok entry. Until the snowball broke apart and made a multi ball thing. This made it an awesome entry. I know you were bound by the two button controls but taking control of the individual balls would have been cool. Still such a smooth transition from title screen to gameplay.

I made a similar game, but you managed to add features I had on my list but not enough time for to implement them. Obviously you had a great idea ;)
