Wow, it snowed during the night !

SNOW BRAWL! is a 2-PLAYERS on ONE GAMEPAD platform game where you have to build the Snow Castle with your rival, but only the best builder will have the success !


//// GAMEPLAY ////

- The round is over when the castle is finished

//// ABOUT ////

This Ludum Dare was our first together, it was quite difficult sometimes ! We have lost many hours trying to calibrate and set the gamepads, but it's now working more or less correctly. We made it using Gamemaker : Studio, and all the graphics and the animations are made with Adobe Photoshop.

We wanted to create a game which allows players to feel like if they were 7, building imaginary things and throwing snowballs.
I hope you will have this feeling while playing as well, because we do while developping it !

Playing two person on the same controller is kinda hard but still really funny

Couldn't rate it because I don't have a gamepad which is a bit sad because it looked fun.

It's like when I was little. I always built the snow fortress as my brother threw snow balls at me.

While I do have a gamepad, the game didn't react to it in any way unfortunately. Looks fun, but next time you should consider making your game a bit more accessible... :)
