Snow Shoot! by CogComp

[raw]
made by CogComp for LD31 (COMPO)
I had six hours to spare today (Sunday)..

So I decided to try out making something web-based, to see what kind of limitations the platform has.

It's a simple game.. All you have to do is not get hit by the elves snowballs and hit as many as you can ;-)

Keys:
Move I.C. the snowman using the cursor keys.
Press space to shoot a snowball.

The terrible music can be turned of by pressing 'M'.

Oh, and yeah.. It doesn't work in Internet Explorer. Use Firefox or Chrome.

Hi there... Triforce! Like the scaling of snow bullets. Nice presentation. Music very jolly ... for a while. Bit too difficult to survive, but my reactions are shot... Good job!

This music is for sure a key feature ! :D
Too simple of course, but well done in 6 hours !

I quite liked this entry! I've never seen that sort of single-point perspective on a shmup in my life, and I really thought it added something special to the feel. Same thing for the cute candy-cane-colored Sierpinski Gaskets. The mood is really rather cheery!

One thing to work on for future iterations or games would be the hitboxes, since that's the main thing making the game difficult to play right now. I really liked that the elves changed color rather than exploding or something, honestly. It gave a better, more Christmassy feeling to the visuals.

Thank you very much for the game!

(Oh my god, just saw that you did a minimalist danmaku game. Bookmarking that to play later...)

Felt the elves moved a bit too quickly compared to you but otherwise that's a nice game, and only in 6 hours that's not bad!

The music was indeed terrible. :) The game was quite sluggish in my computer. Otherwise this is quite nice result for 6 hour work.

A nice littel Haxe game. The music got on my nerves after a while but I guess it's all done on purpose... Merry Xmas.
