Graphics and animations were very good and the concept is interesting. There doesn't seem to be enough boxes however and the gun is a bit too powerful (unlimited ammo, infinite range). Very good start, with some gameplay changes it could be even better.

The best looking game I've seen today (as far) great job. You can cheat easily.

Nice work on the models. But the scene is a bit crowded and it's hard to work out where stuff is. Pushing crates around is a bit clunky.

Fun and inventive. Just a little graphics glitch with the graphics flickering. Did not let that affect my rating though :)

It was fun to run around and shoot the snowmen, but I wasn't able to push the crates around, at least on the web player. If I tried to push them, I just moved through them. I also think you could've done with playing the snowman audio clip once a wave or less, it was a bit spammy as it was :P

Pushing boxes accurately is really hard, which combined with the slow response controls gave me a hard time.
The art is really nice, sounds are in place.

I feel that with better control over the character movement/box pushing, the game could be improved a lot.

Good job overall guys!

Good concept, and the visuals are well done. Those droopy, melting snowmen are animated nicely. I could never get a box positioned before getting overwhelmed. The player might move a little bit fast. Fun simple game.

The benefits of pushing the crates around didn't seem worth it. I had fun blasting the snowmen anyway though, a lot more fun to focus on that to get a decent score. The turrets were a nice feature also. Good graphics and concept, nice work guys.

Well dones guys. Loved it. Moving the box was a dick, but it was very enjoyable. :D

The environment looks cool, it's pretty detailed, that's good. After a few seconds of playing I saw that you and the snowmen are able to walk across the tables. This didn't feel really well, since it looks like there is no collision. Then I saw the snowmen being held back by walls and realised, "ooooh, they move OVER the table", and that's pretty cool!

The gameplay is pretty simple, a few power-ups would have been great. Would have made the game more interactive. The snowman sound is great, love it, as well as the way the dig up from the ground. :)

The crate pushing mechanic wasn't great, but if you look past that, it's like one of the old classic zombie shooters with snowmen. (so hey, you got the snowman theme in there too.) It was pretty fun to play for a while but got boring quickly, and the environment was fairly limited. There was a total of one sound effect and no music. Fixing the crate pushing could have made this a lot more fun (some sort of lock-on to the side of crates, TLoZ:OoT style would do)

Had good fun playing this, but the box-pushing physics are very wonky. :)

Really nice game and some serious character animations done for a jam! I really like you could hold and shoot, but it was a bit hard to see the shots, and maybe they should have been themed to fit with the snowmen. But that's really a minor detail.

What made me give up was that the box shoving felt unnecessarily difficult. I would have opted for a much wider box collider that only collided with the boxes one were supposed to push around.

Other than that, a really good game.

Waaaaar! Neat and really interesting for those who wants to struggle with snowmen. Sound needed. Thank you for your comment about my game ++

Loved the graphics. One of the best games to sneak snowmen in that I've played so far.

Could use some balance tweaks as it's really difficult - maybe have the snowmen come in waves of increasing difficulty to give the player some time to ramp up?
