Hunt down and destroy all 50 snowmen within the time limit in this 3D FPS game.

Yeah, I've pretty much ignored the theme completely. My one concession is that I've made the level so you can walk off one side and reappear on the other, like a single-screen 2D game. It was either that or add a fake screen overlay, but I figured that might get overused in this jam.

Controls: standard FPS controls, WASD or cursors to move, mouse to look around and LMB to shoot.

I haven't actually beaten the game on Impossible difficulty yet, so I've love to know if it's possible. It should be... just.

Good luck!

Nice graphics, but the theme...

It's a nice little shooter but it doesn't really fit the theme.

Thanks for the comments! I thought the theme was lousy (I much prefer working in 3D, and the idea of a single-screen 3D game makes no sense) so I basically ignored it and made a snowman-themed game instead. Hope that's not too great a sin, I'm just here to have some fun, after all.

nice idea (even though it didnt hit the theme) but it bugged me a bit that i couldnt move and look around at the same time

@Wir Strange, I don't know why that's happening. Works fine on my (Windows) machine, though I haven't been able to test the OSX or Linux versions yet.

The graphics remind me of MS Paint, but otherwise the game is enjoyable.

I feel terrible for killing baby snowmen.

It's fun! I like the over the top physics and the art style is clean and simple. Can't really fault you for going for the snowman theme, was kind of rooting for that one myself. :P

Perhaps add crosshairs?

Nice cel-shaded look. Pretty fun too. Only missed 4 snowmen. However the standard mouse look script is horrible.

I had fun with this game! The white text against the snow was hard to see. I wouldve enjoyed having a reticule for my gun, and I wouldve loved to have seen snowmen inside the houses maybe :)

Also I enjoyed the tiny snowmen and the secret alleyways...nice job!

I have to agree to that cross-hairs would be very helpful. It is very difficult to aim besides spamming fire to see where you hit. Nice work!
