A game inspired by an old arcade classic. I ran out of time before I could add any sounds, but the game itself is playable and contains most features I planned.
Missing features that might come in a post-compo version later are scores + highscore, power ups and of course sound.
The source code and the assets are (c) 2014 by me, all right reserved. I will decide later if I want to make it available under a more permissive license, but it's available here as reference and to learn from it.
Only thing I'd say is reduce the number of lives!! When I tried to game over to see if there was a score count, it took as long as collecting the burgers! :D
It's essentially BurgerTime, which is both good and bad. Good because everyone already loves the gameplay, and bad because it's obviously going to be compared to BurgerTime. The graphics look good, in particular the sausages and snowman; some work could certainly be done with the blank background and grainy tiles, though. The two big issues with the game are the sound and score. Without a score there's no incentive to keep playing.
I really liked this game, So simple yet the purpose is obvious, theres no guess work in volved, you simply make your little snowman make some burgers, and who doesnt like burgers :D
I must say I really loved the original of this game and so did I like this remake, so great job, I included it in my random LD31 gameplay video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ei_gJeG5cgM
Art style is questionable, overall solid game but needs more work.

Nice game, but there's no reward to the player. I would have loved to see something like "Hamburgers made: 101" Powerups, like you said. And lives(reward) when you've completed a few hamburgers - or something. Pretty nice AI if you consider the time. Pretty polished gameplay. Good work!
Fun little game :)
