The Biggest Snowman by refreshcreations

[raw]
made by refreshcreations for LD31 (COMPO)
A quirky little single and multi-player arena shooter with multiple ways to win.

Will you skillfully hit your opponents or just collect enough items that kills don't even matter!

I'll be porting this to the OUYA over the week, which should be fun to release!

Very nice UI work.

A fun idea, but it felt a bit not-tight, and the rules were also a bit confusing

Pretty fun. The controls were a little awkward and I would have liked the ability to rotate the camera.

Cool. Control is hard, but once you get used to it, it becomes pretty fun.

fun, controlling is a bit difficult but then again you are on ice.

Great GUI and fun idea just felt like I moved at a direct rate than the CPUs but that could be in my head....I must say I like charging into an enemy, snowballs a-blazing, this physics did that justice!

Looks like someone was prepared for another theme.
A great game but the delay in the ball trowing is annoying.
Nice =)

Slippery but fun, you do get used to the controls :)

Pretty solid gameplay. But maybe too slow? Especially when throwing the snow ball. Nice graphics too!

Fun, but I couldn't figure out which one was me for a while and it's very slow to turn. With a few improvements, this would be great!

Very polished look! I agree that the controls are perhaps a little too imprecise, but that is where some of the fun comes from. I had no problems winning against the bots, but I imagine this would be hectic with 4 human players!

Like the game, ui reminds me on super smash bros.

Cool arena game! As others have said, the controls are a bit too imprecise, but I can see how that is part of the games charm.

Probably more fun with other people than just CPU. Nice visual and UI. Hard to control though.

It's a really, really good idea and I would be interested to see a post-compo version with tighter controls.

Cool game, the controls are just uncontrolable enough to make it interesting, nicely done !

Desperately hard to control.

Really good UI though.

Not my kind of game, but nice none the less. I could see my brother liking this.
Well made, but could have used some music. Controls felt a bit sluggish at first but feels better when you get used to it. I would have liked to have a bit longer projectile range, and a bit less throw delay.
