Winter Madness by Herku

[raw]
made by Herku for LD31 (COMPO)
My entry is pretty simple this time, but I think it's worth to play for a few minutes.

How to play:
Collect the snowflakes with the snowman by using the arrow keys on your keyboard. Collecting the snowballs will increase the multiplier.
Don't get hit by the icicles or christmas tree balls! This will decrease the multiplier.

Know Bugs:
Sometimes the collision engine seems to trigger incorrectly. ):

No game over? Icicles/tree balls should affect your health or something ;)

I agree with the other comments, but you do have a good foundation with the collect/dodge gameplay mechanics! Some holiday music would help set the mood.

Simple and a good place to start for a fun game. It's a bit too easy to stay alive since your snowman is so small and the obstacles are small as well. Maybe if your snowman grew bigger the higher your score got, it would allow you to collect more snow but also make it harder to avoid getting hit! I really like the snowflake graphics though, well done!

The snowman actually gets bigger, the higher your score is. But maybe its to growing to slowly...
jar.scale.setTo(0.4 + 0.01 * Math.sqrt(stats.score), 0.4 + 0.01 * Math.sqrt(stats.score));

It's not too bad, but like others have said, it's too easy. You need a game over after your multiplier goes down to 0 and you should make it more difficult. I like that you added variations to the snowflakes, though you could have also added some sort of background and floor graphics. Good work :D

The game is nice but it doesn麓t have any challenge.
