Kill the Snowman by Omer

[raw]
made by Omer for LD31 (COMPO)
Controls:
Move - WASD
Pause - Escape
Fire - Left Mouse

I realize my screenshot doesn't show any appeal for playing this game, but hey, it's the ludum dare, only people with amazing talent can come out with an amazing game and I truly did my best. Enjoy, with spite toward not having ☃ as a theme.

Edit: There may be some trouble playing the game if xna isn't installed, so if the windows setup doesn't work, go install this http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=20914 (if you're feeling compelled enough) before running the setup package and it should work. Cheers!

Edit 2: I realize that my setup package was unnecessary if the XNA redistributable was installed, so I removed the installer to save you from having to uninstall the game afterward. Now all you must do is install xna, then run my exe. Thanks!

I love the idea of killing down votes and the snowman animation was really nice. The sound effects could get over bearing at times but overall nice work.

This game is a lot of fun and the sound effects are nice. I think it very well represents the situation.

Much Meta. So Topical. Wow.

Not being able to shoot the enemies as they're growing is a pain, and no HUD is an oversight. Good start for a game?

man, animations really make a game look good!
The visuals are simple here but I like how you made the -1's look they were walking around :p
