You play as a snowman, beset on all sides by vicious, destructive kids! Your only weapon - snowballs. But be careful - the more snowballs you make, the faster you melt! Luckily for you, someone's sliding blocks of ice through the streets; hopefully those can re-freeze you!

Left Click - throw snowball
Right Click - make snowball
Pause / Space - pause

The game ends if the bar at right hits the bottom
Keep those destructive kids from smashing you to bits!
Pelt ice blocks with snowballs to re-freeze yourself

#NOMAN. Haha. Simple concept. Great graphics.

Those are RPG maker assets...

Incredibly difficult, but fun!

nice graphics. Maybe its better to refeal automaticly the ammo. The tuto repeat if you refresh the page

Not bad! You don't see many RPG maker games.

The having to hold to refill snowballs is a nice twist on this type of game. Although I think the rate at what you refill compared to how quick the kids come could be balanced just a little bit better.

The art is fantastic. The game might be tuned a bit too difficult, but it's a pretty fun idea.

Those pesky kids got me again!

Controls felt a tad clunky, Art looks fantastic. No Sound?? Good Job.

I don't know if it's something with my system, but fades (both the instructions, and the kids) were *very* slow.

Nice looking game! It's like a snowman tower defense. Making more snowballs is just about impossible on a trackpad though.

Ahah the tutorial at the begining is a bit slow, it made me shoot way too many snowball before the game began :).

Simple concept, but the execution is nice (I won't rate the graphics for obvious reasons).

Wow, you really have to hold that right mouse button. Difficult game but fun...

The game is good, but this very difficult.

Score: 36. SO FUN! I love this clever take on a shooter/tower-defense type game. The speed of the game feels really nice, with more and more kids coming at you (these kids are BRUTAL, by the way). Sometimes the kids get stuck on corner tiles and they spin around in a beautiful little ice dance. Those ice blocks are hard to catch! But yeah, the game seems really nicely balanced. Great job!

haha little children as antagonists! Funny! Well done!

Troilk9 Dec 2014, 17:57

Seems like constantly holding RMB leads to best results, though at score ~40 I still loose balance between snowball recharge/consumption and fail. Some sounds could have improved the overall mood. Anyway, good game, but difficult :)

Hi there. Nice idea. Could be more generous on snowballs... Ran out after three kids or something, so more of a puzzle/resource limited game. Like the look. Shame no music or sounds.

This was tricky because once you get behind you can never catch back up. It seemed to me once one kid was close enough to touch you, your game was pretty much over. I think that the snowball refill rate could be turned way up.

Nice presentation and the tutorial at the start was a nice touch. I do wish that you refilled the players snowballs and ice levels after the tutorial ended though!
