I liked the ASCII terminal one :D Great graphics, no sounds unfortunately

Brilliant game with stylish graphics but "easy" level isn't easy at all!

Interesting difficulty screen. Kind of wish the ASCII level was actually gridlocked instead of just a reskin, though. The snowflakes blocking landing areas seems to ramp up the difficulty very quickly, as moving left and right is monstrously difficult, so you're left just waiting for a good spawn.

The left and right controls were backwards from what I expected so I kept crashing.. Not a bad entry though.

The ascii version is the best :) Great work on this one

Nice entry! Was quite fun and took some time to win each "level". The hard ASCII level felt a tad too hard at times, I had to use snowman corpses to actually win. Nice graphics and generally a cool idea! Merry Christmas!

Cool animations and graphics.
Love the idea of changing the level.

Normally i don't like lander games, but your one was funny to play. Well done!

That was really fun/funny. I've never killed so many snowmen.

Nice one! It's unfortunate it has no sounds :( Also, are you Czech too, assuming from your name?
rincewind_czauthor11 Dec 2014, 15:22
@leondryaso: Yep, unfortunately I couldn't use whole 48h for this, so there really wasn't time to make and polish some things which were planned (like sounds, better menu, real story mode).. And yes, your assumption is correct -- I'm Czech ;-)
leondryaso11 Dec 2014, 16:43
Oh the menu is actually pretty good! You are the second Czech besides us here I know about :)

Classic gameplay with great visual twists! I appreciate the double interpretation of the theme and the inclusion of an ASCII display :P

I'm a big lunar lander fan, and this was a fun little lander game with character. I loved the random level generation, but it did tend to give me a freebie every once in a while, where the terrain directly below a snowman was flat(ish). Didn't detract from the enjoyment though.

Really cute game, lovely graphics, but sometimes eventhough it landed straight and perfectly, it still wouldn't say I landed or gave me any feedback.

Nice to see another LibGdx entry, more code to look at :)

The controls are a little bit weird. While W fires the bottom thruster and S the top thruster (opposite directions), A fires left and D fires right (same directions). It's still fun to play, good job!

Great use of Snowman.
JavadocMD17 Dec 2014, 05:59
An old concept, but doing it in different graphical treatments was a neat way to tie in the theme! I probably would have dialed back the force of the side thrusters a little, but it did add a lot of challenge. Good work!

So delicious graphics!
