Fun! It's a little easy and I would have liked some sort of score or time survived. Like the variation between turrets.
Snowman didn't win, get over it, haha jk, but kinda a basic game and slowed down a ton once i got only a few towers up.
Nice tower defense. It would have been nice to see a preview of the range before you placed the turret. Nice music.
works ok but pretty easy to win, toxic turrets are pretty OP and honestly more "machine gun" than toxic, just stack them right at the start and snowmen never leave the first corner. could have used a little more enemy variety
Fun game at the start but it didn't very long before the poor old snowmen didn't stand a chance.
Solid implementation of a tower defense, all the elements are there although i agree it's very easy. It would be better if the frequency of enemies that spawn increased over time. I packed a few towers on the first corner and they never get past now. Good job though, solid entry. :)
Very nice little game. I like how this infinite army of Snowmen get crushed by Magma turret! :)
Congrats!
Funny little game. Maybe more variations on the gameplay to break the monotony of the chain of snowman.
Good game!
I think there should be a fire option (super power which you can only use every X seconds?) which melts down all snowmen in an area :D
Pretty basic. There should either be "waves" of snowmen, or a time counter, that way the player has some sense of progression.
The basic elements of a Tower Defense game are all there. I think though some sort of funny twist or unique mechanic is needed. I bought an Ice Turret, it didnt seem to do anything. Was kinda hoping it would do something, even if it was silly. For a Jam I think you can take a risk and throw in something a bit crazy. Solid effort though.
Good job, I enjoyed playing. Making the game harder would improve it a lot.
Really enjoyed this. Probably played for like 15 min :P I almost filled the map with guns :D So simple but so much fun!
This was a really decent start to a good tower defense game. It needs some balancing, better indication of tower range before placement, harder enemies, and things like that -- but you can play it and win/lose, depending on your general ability, and that's certainly enough for a LD compo entry.
I would probably suggest switching to Unity or the like to deal with many snowmen/turrets/bullets on screen. My browser locked up a few times while playing when I had an overflow of objects moving around. :(
Overall, it was quite fun, and I enjoyed myself! :) Tower defense is one of my favorite types of games, and this one is certainly playable as one!
Hi there. Like the presentation and operation. Be nice to have a floating turret or something when placing, also upgrades nice to have. Game was almost and idle-game once a reasonable bundle =of turrets put down. Nice and generous to player. Good job!
Solid and fun tower defence game. Graphics could use a little more polish I think.

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.
very fun!
