ZedHead by dokidoki

[raw]
made by dokidoki for LD31 (COMPO)
Reunite Zed the snowman with his head! It's short, but I didn't have much of the weekend to work on it.
Some things I would have added if I had had more time: sound, different vehicles, better movement animation.
As with my previous entry, I included onscreen buttons for mobile, but this game is harder to play on mobile.

Nice take on frogger. I also have a feeling you secretly wanted the snowman to win the theme? :)

Difficult, but lots of fun. Classic.

Pretty good entry. The hat part is pretty hard :)

Frustrating to restart, but otherwise pretty solid.

very laggy and the game just freezes when I hit a car, not very playable sorry. Boring take on an old concept not very original.

Ha, needs a bit of "juice" (and audio!) but I love the concept and the frowny snowman is a great character - I think you should keep workin' on it!

Hi there. Looks appealing, nice graphics. Shame no sounds. The controls feel a bit impossible, pixel perfect timing etc... might be my browser (Chrome on W8.1) making it run wrong ?, would expect snowman and head to be able to move faster than the traffic.

Like was stated earlier, the game is unoriginal, while technically everything works fine and the bonus round is a nice touch, the gameplay isn't exciting and is most exactly the same to hundreds of other games. But given that you didn't have much time it's a good effort.

Rolling the head around looks simple but nice. The twist to get the hat afterwards too took me right at the point where I thought "this was too easy". Nicely done.

Sometimes I would have liked a tad more margin on the collision detection. I think it's a little too tight on the bottom. Being able to just press 'r' to restart would have been comfortable.

It's a nice mashup but perhaps you should've elaborated more the idea. One problem that I had is that I thought that the bounding box of the snowman was his entire body because there's no sense of depth. You could add some shadows to improve that aspect.

Hahaha ohh man, that's nuts. I got the body together but the hat was just too much! That's what I get for taking the easy way out and moving the head to the body in phase 1, though!

My main complaint with this game would be the retry button. I am playing the game with my keyboard but you make me move my hand off and over to the mouse to retry, that's a big no-no in a game where you die this often/fast.

Nice little entry though, made me laugh.

Hahahaha, love the rolling head.
Really tough traffic though, not so much space once you're assembled.
