The satanic evil snowmen are attacking. You are doomed. Your end is nigh. The only thing you can do - make it hard for them. Try to beat your local Highscore!
Controls: Move by WASD or the arrow keys. Point your gun towards the enemy using your mouse. Shoot with the left mouse button. Reload with the right mouse button.
Unfortunately the flash version tends to slow down very fast, so please consider using the native builds.
Those are the tools we used: * Haxe/OpenFL/HaxeFlixel * FlashDevelop as our IDE * Google Docs for our game design document * Teamspeak and Hangouts for communication * Aseprite for pixel work * Cubase 5 and SFXR for music and sounds * git/Bitbucket for version control * Pizza
Here's a timelapse of the game being created (from Laguna's point of view):
Really fun game! I love thee kind of survival shoot outs. The only thing I would say is that it was a bit too easy to go on forever, the only reason I died is because i got greedy and tried to grab loads of upgrades from the middle of a massive mob :P I think you should have limited ammo, and one of the upgrades could be to refill it. The music was really good as well! Very nice entry :)
Nice top down shooter. Quite polished, so nothing to complaint, I had fun playing it and I enjoyed the music and overall gameplay. Congrats! BTW, can snowmen actually bleed? :)
Overall this was a well polished entry into TDS genre. Everything was smooth and game play was pretty solid. My only major gripe is that combat started out sooo slow paced as I had only the pea shooter until around 500+ score. I was ready to quit early (with a much more negative view) and then some weapon power ups began to drop and the fun level started to rise a bit. Regardless, well done!
Was really fun to play, liked the art style! Movement and weapons controls felt good. It got stuck two times in the reloading state, I think it happend when I got a powerup while reloading, but not always.
Hi there. Liked the slow chasing snowmen, did not seem much of a threat early on, but got tricky. Only one shot was a pain, presumably there's a powerup but didn't get that far. Good job!
Well made overall. Nice powerups but the shotgun seemed to only hit 1 regardless of hitting with all 3 bullets. Pretty nice art. My high score was around 3700, those snowmen ganged up on me eventually :P
Excellent shooter with enough power ups to keep wanting to play further. The web version didn't slow for a single second on my machine. Very good job ! :)
Fun little survival game, with good movement and sound. Powerups were a nice mechanic, but I would've like to see a different kind of enemy. Well done!
Performance (at least on my machine) was undoubtedly better with native build versions (at least for large enemy/bullet numbers. There was not much time for optimization and I expect a bottlenec especially at list and collision handling.
Hi @Floriaen Those are just bitly links so we get a little bit statistic about how often the links are clicked. It can be that they go down sometimes, but are working (as i checked them right now). Pleas try again and sorry for the trouble. Best, runvs!

Also, as one of the 600 top down shooters submitted, you should really try to make it stand out.

Thanks for playing and rating!

Very fun. But I really dislike how I can't see myself. The color-scheme ist neat, but it makes it hard to distinguish the player from the blood...
