Now that's a beautiful title screen! And man, I've never seen such smoothly animated snowmen. I'm not a great fan of the forced manual reloading, but still great work. :)
Models look awesome. Waves are balanced with the reload speeds and ammo counts. Blasting the little ones with a shotgun is super satisfying. Great game. Fantastic job.
Very eye-catching game title, although there's something wrong with you! (In a good way). I found this too frustrating to be enjoyable, probably down to the relentless unstoppable feeling coupled with the clunky reloading. Got on much better second time after figuring out when to shotgun, but still have no idea what the bow does. I'm willing to accept that it may have appeared to me to get harder too fast purely because I couldn't figure out when to use the shotgun properly. But whatever it was, the pacing/appearance of big snowmen seemed to unfairly block too many smaller ones from damage. As others have commented, some kind of more pronounced reaction to shots would help a lot. The shotgun seems to spray particles rather than having an abrupt burst to it, so it was hard to tell when it had worked and when not. Most of the time it aggravatingly didn't seem to do anything, but once I cleared over half the screen in one shot. No idea what was going on there. The model and animation are surprisingly high quality, it's just a shame there's not a bit more variation.
Good graphics! And I like the bullets bouncing off the snowman and it seems to do damage to another snowman, too? Though it's not very practical in game, it is still very fun!
Snowmen models look great. Nice mix of weapons, crossbow was fun against the big snowmen.
Shotgun I had a hard time figuring out what it did at first. But at the end where it just keeps spawning small snowmen untill you die/give up, I eventually figured it out. Would have been better if it hit snowmen in a cone where you aimed instead of just damaging everything nearby. And at the end it could have spawned big snowmen instead of the little ones that die to one shotgun blast.
Played on untill 136,375 points by just using the shotgun at the end. Also found out you can start reloading waaay earlier that I think you are suppose to, since the instant the shot goes of you can start reloading the next one. But I had a lot fun for about the first 30,000 points at least :)
I found that reloading takes too much time, and overall the game lacks a bit of dynamism for a shooting game, and there is no real need for other weapons since the shotguns is a bit cheated :)
Here are some tips: Projectiles are do bounce and they count as a hit just as much as a direct hit. You can even poll the fireballs on the ground and let them run into them. Also the crossbow can take out multiple units if you do a glancing shot on the side of the snowman.
The fireballs = 1 pt of damage Crossbow = 15 pts of damage Shootgun is not a cone, it is an AOE to help you clear and reload if you get overwhelmed.
I can play the game 100% crossbow if don't let them get all the way to the end.
Pro Tip: Hold down your fire button all the time and press R to reload without letting up on fire button.

After I've reviewed some of the others I'm gonna come back and play it again. =)

I am glad everyone is enjoying the game.
Great game!
