You play as a snowman, beset on all sides by vicious, destructive kids! Your only weapon - snowballs. But be careful - the more snowballs you make, the faster you melt! Luckily for you, someone's sliding blocks of ice through the streets; hopefully those can re-freeze you!
Left Click - throw snowball
Right Click - make snowball
Pause / Space - pause
The game ends if the bar at right hits the bottom
Keep those destructive kids from smashing you to bits!
Pelt ice blocks with snowballs to re-freeze yourself

Not bad. Easy the first little bit. and then harder. Doesnt help my mouse randomly does a double click :)
nice graphics. Maybe its better to refeal automaticly the ammo. The tuto repeat if you refresh the page
The having to hold to refill snowballs is a nice twist on this type of game. Although I think the rate at what you refill compared to how quick the kids come could be balanced just a little bit better.
The art is fantastic. The game might be tuned a bit too difficult, but it's a pretty fun idea.
Controls felt a tad clunky, Art looks fantastic. No Sound?? Good Job.
I don't know if it's something with my system, but fades (both the instructions, and the kids) were *very* slow.
Nice looking game! It's like a snowman tower defense. Making more snowballs is just about impossible on a trackpad though.
Ahah the tutorial at the begining is a bit slow, it made me shoot way too many snowball before the game began :).
Simple concept, but the execution is nice (I won't rate the graphics for obvious reasons).
Wow, you really have to hold that right mouse button. Difficult game but fun...
Score: 36. SO FUN! I love this clever take on a shooter/tower-defense type game. The speed of the game feels really nice, with more and more kids coming at you (these kids are BRUTAL, by the way). Sometimes the kids get stuck on corner tiles and they spin around in a beautiful little ice dance. Those ice blocks are hard to catch! But yeah, the game seems really nicely balanced. Great job!
Seems like constantly holding RMB leads to best results, though at score ~40 I still loose balance between snowball recharge/consumption and fail. Some sounds could have improved the overall mood. Anyway, good game, but difficult :)
Hi there. Nice idea. Could be more generous on snowballs... Ran out after three kids or something, so more of a puzzle/resource limited game. Like the look. Shame no music or sounds.
This was tricky because once you get behind you can never catch back up. It seemed to me once one kid was close enough to touch you, your game was pretty much over. I think that the snowball refill rate could be turned way up.
Nice presentation and the tutorial at the start was a nice touch. I do wish that you refilled the players snowballs and ice levels after the tutorial ended though!
aaaaahhhhh - thie children! keep them away - scary! - nice job - very tuff tho

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
#NOMAN. Haha. Simple concept. Great graphics.
