This is my entry. It is using a new language c++ so i had to keep it as simple as possible.

the object is to find the killer snowman and touch him.
simple.
if you do you win. :D

thanks for checking it out. :D

ps the pic's below the main one are DEV shots. lol funz

I really enjoyed developing in c++ and sdl2. I really felt like there were really different things i could do with it.

NOTE: this was brand new to me so i didn't have time to add sound. THERE IS NO SOUND. THERE IS NO MUSIC. next time for sure. next time.

Nice job! Soo hard to see, but that's the challenge. A unique and nice game. Good job!

i combed every inch of the snowmen but couldnt find him :/

Ha, I can't play it ('cause windows) but it looks hilarious: I made the same game idea as you - but yours is way more crazy!!!

I beat the game twice, both times by random chance -I don't know if me being colorblind had anything to do with my inability to see him. - The idea is very good though- Well done for a first time with a new language :-)

nice game, to bad there was no music or sound fx to add to the overall mood.

An interesting concept with a lot of potential, but I had a lot of trouble trying to identify the target I was looking for (I ended up catching the killer by pure chance). A little more indication as to the general location of the killer (by the time I saw an explosion he had usually already moved somewhere else and killed another snowman) and a bit more variation in the snowman animations (having them all moving at the same time got a bit hard on the eyes) and I reckon it'll be pretty much there, but as it stands you did a good job given the time available :)

nice, pretty confusing with all those snowmen, but I think that's the whole idea, well done :)

nice work

Its really colorful looking but extreamley difficult. Nice game though.

I think telling us who the killer snowman is would be more useful :P As well as making him hide and move around.

Otherwise good job for entering using C++. Works in Wine under Linux too :)

Thank you NeiloGD. I was 5 min away from adding the laser. (which after the thing was over i put it in. :-) )
