I thought it was a pretty basic if vaguely competent shooter at first, but then I found all the weapon upgrades and carrot farming stuff.  Pretty neat!  Gets quite intense as you get further.  I like the constant ratcheting up of the action and trying to keep pace with the deluge of snowmen.  I also liked that other snowmen go after dropped carrots, I thought that was a neat touch.  Good stuff."},{"author_name":"spacedoubt","author_uid":"39200","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 7:01pm","epoch":1418151360,"text":"I like it..
