The elves are trying to eat you. Throw snowballs and build castles to stop them!

AUDIO IS AVAILABLE, turn it on in the settings menu. I noticed that the default setting was off during the submission hour, to late :(

If you don't wan't to wait for more elves, hit enter and they'll come in a sec I put it in for debugging but since it's still there, use it as you wish!

Please enjoy :)

Nastly little elves. I hate those buggers. :)
Good job.
Controls felt 'off' for me. I expected to move with WASD and shoot or build with the mouse.

Nice game. You shuld maybee give the plyaer more time to build his castle before sending an entire army (4) of elves ! But original. Keep going

It's a bit hard for me, but the concept is great. It really feels like a snowball fight!

Cool Game. Pun not intended :3. I didn't read the instructions at first and was really confused on the controls. Learning curve seemed a bit sharp, and not being able to attack someone already in your square was kind of aggravating.

Nice presentation on this. I'm afraid I couldn't build though, I got stuck throwing snowballs until I ran out of snow. When I picked up more snow it just started throwing them immediately! Would have been nice to see if I could actually build a snow fort, seems like a cool idea :)

@hexagore Weird, are you sure you didn't accidentally press wsad? Because the getKey event in unity should be quite solid.

A clever arcade/strategy!

Good concept, but the controls are too "slow" - I can't even kill the first elf without losing hp if I idle for a moment.

looks nice! seems like it needs more attractions for the gameplay though.

Good idea the controls are a bit difficult though.

Interesting mechanics, it would be more fun with better controls.

The whole game ran really slow here, not sure if that was intended. But I still found it rather difficult, and at times unresponsive or the controls just didn't work properly.
Other than that, a very nice idea, a lovely protagonist and the snow effect adds quite a bit to the atmosphere. :)

Pretty fun idea, I especially enjoy being able to put up a wall barrier and throw across it. Take that elves!

The movement/throwing/gathering felt a little too slow or unresponsive to actually stand a chance against the elves. In the future, it might be better to speed up these actions that the player is going to repeat a lot.

Overall, good job!

I would prefer keyboard controls over mouse.
interesting mecanism.

Liked it, but it took some time to figure out the controls :) also it was pretty hard after the first wave. good job though!
