Didn't run for me. Something about my license being broken (pretty sure it isn't though).
Darn. And here I finally found someone else who wants to murder snowmen. =P

Nice game, ran fine for me, except when respawning after losing all lives, it forgot to spawn me.

A more fleshed out entry. It is quite nice to play but there are a few things i missed like an ammunition counter to know when i have to reload. Also i managed to spawn outside the areay quite a few times so i had to completley restart. I love that you can hide behind trees and the snowman only shoot you when they actually see you! With a bit of bugfixing this is a nice little shooter game! Thumbs up!

I got a crash too when I tried to play this game. It's not obvious that the game and the source code is in the same link. Can't they be separated? Ie one zip for the project, one zip for the Release folder? :)

It was ok, it gets kind of repetitive but i really enjoyed how challenging it was!

Nicely done. It has a nice feel to it, reminiscent of Hotline Miami. Dug the music too. An ammo counter or bar would have done a lot for it. Good job over all.

Really nice game. For me it would be better to slow down bullets (yeah I have pretty bad reflexes).

I don't like the controls but the game is very good. I would have loved a right click option to move.

Great game, I really enjoyed the graphics and the music. Also it is very challenging, which is awesome, in my opinion (i love tough games lol). Congratulations!!

Pretty solid! The shooting felt really nice. It was a bit tough, though. I think some enemy and weapon variety would add a lot.
