Snowman <3 Kitty by Kimau

made by Kimau for LD31 (COMPO)

Snowman loves Kitty is a small story about a Snowman falling in love with a kitty in a snowy backyard that is INCOMPLETE :(

Tools: Javascript, Photoshop, no libs
ONLY TESTED ON CHROME

The snow sim was working great till I discovered a few limitations which I banged my head against most of Sunday so it's just a TOY. Experiment and play around. I'll try upload a non-compo version later with complete story on a different link.

Also for anyone wondering I just had to save the most down voted themes: There is no floor, Love, Kittens & Snowman as well as entire game on one screen ;)

Hi there. Nice toy, had the same experience myself, barely a game but had snow... Prefer your snow to mine - cos it settles, good job on that! Shame no sounds/music. Made it to the roof of the house, which was my aim as soon as saw the settling snow. Good job!

The snow mechanic was nice.

Does not work with FF: gameCanvas.ellipse is not a function.

Pretty cool game! I always like physics / gizmo games like that :)
The concept is pretty cool. It could use some tweaks to make it more easy to control, but it's a pretty good game!

I think I'd like to be able to jump (or maybe I just couldn't find the key?), but still great work and good fun!

Yeah the jump ability was meant to be reserved for the cat. Though TBH if you are making snow you can build a snow pile under yourself. Glad you had fun with it.

@doos you should have played http://liero.be/ worms with all this kinda pixel particle physics.

The idea seems interesting, I always loved those sand game things! I'd like to see how this would work out, too bad it's incomplete. Still, nice job!
