FROUST! by Kupnu4

Have a blast in FROUST!
Watch out - water is so chilly! ❄️⛄😂
Our Jam entry for LD-54. A simple casual game designed for mobile devices.
Best played on phones (.apk included), but html version is also available.
Turn on GPU acceleration in your Chrome Browser if the game is lagging (thanks to @mikhail-ershov).
Upd: Keyboard input added due to tons of requests!
Graphics and code are made during Jam.
Hope you enjoy playing the game as much as we enjoyed making it.
Best Scores in comments are more than welcome!🎖️⛄

The graphics and sounds are great, makes the game feel very juicy :)
Also great incorporation of theme!
Please change snowmans to zombie-snowmans to make game more satisfying :-E~~
Really loving bashing those snowmen off.
Definitively executed well on the theme :D
Controls on web, it is very frustrating to control. I would rather that the movement circle stays where I started the movement from instead of staying in range of the mouse, many times I would run out of screen space or be unable to find what direction I am moving in because I didn't know where the mouse was relative to the movement circle.
Although the lack of variety isnt that big of an issue it still made the experience more bland, perhaps something like a larger version that is rarer but takes less knockback and sinks the ice more would have been nice. But it is a jam though so I think it's alright
Weirdly it got laggy near the end. I had like 10 on the screen and was lagging, I have a pretty powerful pc and I wonder what the experience is like on android if I am having performance issues.
I did really enjoy the music and graphics though, plus you really caught the feeling of a mobile game (short and sweet) so massive props!
Controls on desktop were annoying though, would be better if the player just walked towards the cursor, or if you could use keyboard arrows.
I would have loved for the mouse controls to be better optimized, but it was fun still
But I enjoyed the time! The feedback of hitting has a pretty great feel.
You should probably add some instructions for playing it, I didn't quite get it at first although it is pretty simple once you get it !
Also, sometimes if I put my mouse out of the screen it seems that the game invert the input which can be a bit annoying from time to time.
Other than that, great job, it was really fun :D
¯\\_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_/¯
Great job!
Could probably use more variety of enemies, such as aggressive ones that try to push you too. Or they appear later? I only got to the fat crowned one.

Well done! Take a candy! :candy:
Pleasant visuals, all elements blend well together.
I really liked how the game's limit was implemented harmoniously. Not just as a regular timer, but in terms of the number and weight of the opponents on the ice. Great move!
I enjoyed playing it and I'll let my daughter play it too.
I enjoyed it a lot. GG.
A really fun game, which could have multi-player mode and become a party game! The gameplay is really enjoyable, art and sound are funny, I couldn't find any disadvantage of this game. Definitely one of my favorite ones.
So cute and polished GG team, good job !
GG
But they have so different mood and feeling!
Your gifs made me install an apk file. The visuals is great!
Great (choice of) music!
We got to 83 seconds! :)
- cute graphics
- nice snowman shader
- super animation and sound of poping snowmen
- music fits perfectly
- simple but addictive gameplay
- works on pc and mobile (althout it was harder to control on mobile for me)
- clever mechanic of sinking ice
- great interpretation of theme
- very polished game
- well balanced
Cons:
- NONE
I won't be surprised if this game gets to top 3 in some categories. Congrats!
The charming levels is off-the-charts with this one. :) The art style pairs well with the simple yet addictive gameplay. Awesome job!
Wanted to ask for score chasers if you were fine with me playing some gameplay of your game in the background in the waiting period. In the waiting period while a music track is playing itll cycle through gameplay from a bunch of different games in the background

Cool, simple and well polished title.
Great base for further updates.
Good work and see you on the next one!

You have much better indication of the iceberg sinking than we :sweat_smile: Taking notes!
Overall, great entry with a very creative yet simple idea, suits the theme really well, this has to be scored high in some categories once the results are announced. Good job on this one guys!
I got to 76 seconds as my best score :).
Great job!
Great job!

Very fun game!
