Overserious Snowball Fight by shcromlet

[raw]
made by shcromlet for LD31 (COMPO)
I wouldn't say it's complete, but it's definitely something.

Throw snowballs at brightly-colored incoming children zealously bearing very serious flags.

Click to throw snowballs at incoming children.
Well-timed spacebar blocks incoming snowballs.

There's no end-game. Just fill up the screen with knocked-over radicals until your browser crashes.

Enjoy!

Very hard to understand and the tutorial is a large wall of text. Could be improved with less mechanics and more work on the current ones I think. Cool idea and awesome job for finishing making a game but some more development would have been cool

I successfully defeated against first wave, but things are going too fast then. Als I noticed some lags after the first vawe, but who cares that, cos I was already dead =)

Kind of a neat idea. Might benefit from being a little bit simpler and more responsive.

Seems like I can't control anything except red circle) Would be great to less tricky control

It's a good start. I liked the accuracy/time thing in theory, though it could use some tightening up; sometimes snowballs didn't seem to behave predictably even given the explicit randomness in the aiming system.

I hear you on the "took an hour to do something simple" thing you mentioned in the blog. Jams are weird that way. You can get stuck on something that should be easy, and you can't even really step away from it because you're on a ridiculous deadline and it's going to take time either way.
