Fun to play; not a whole lot to do though.

This was able to keep my attention briefly, but as previously mentioned it doesn't take long to figure out the game's depth.

From time to time, I got stuck without having a snowman near me, it felt strange. The isn't very polished, but hey, it works :3

Not bad! I imagine you would've made this had the ☃ theme won, hahaha.

Nice, simple game, a bit to easy after upgrades, but still fun.
Good Job!

Super hard to hit the U key while fighting for your life, maybe having something like right-click or a rest period between rounds would have made buying upgrades a lot easier.

Pretty solid game though. The beginning is hard but with enough upgrades it becomes pretty fun to mow down hoardes of enemies with your little pistol :)

Really hard first time I played then I discovered the upgrade menu and it became too easy :P Some tweaks and balances would be nice.

Liked:
- The action. Very fast paced shooter gameplay that keeps you on your toes
- The weapon selection, it adds some nice variety to the game

Disliked:
- The difficulty curve. This game gets really hard, really fast. I felt that the number of enemies on screen and the pace at which they moved made it almost impossible to strategize your position and weapon usage
- The fact that your player stopped moving when touched by an enemy. Not only did this mean that kiting enemies was almost impossible, but also it meant a lot of time was spent surrounded by the horde while shooting and hoping that enough health/ammo would drop to keep you alive (luck, not skill)
- The controls were very finicky and fast. I actually think I'd have liked this game a lot more if everything was a bit slower.

Overall, it's a good start to a fun snowzombie-killing-rampage game, but the controls and difficulty of gameplay made it too hard for me to get into.
