Stop Christmas - the snowmen are coming!

Your mission is clear: Stop the snowmen!

They want to bring winter and Christmas cheer to everyone - so use your fire towers!

They can only bring winter if they make it across the whole screen...

It's a tower defense game that runs in your browser.

Build & Upgrade your towers using the buttons in the lower right corner or the keyboard shortcuts.

Tech:
html5, javascript using the lib Phaser.js (http://phaser.io)

Either i'm really bad at it or its a bit to hard(or the more likely cause that it's a bit of both). Great game.

There was actually a bug, so that upgrading tower damage did no additional damage. Just fixed that.

Good!

Nice game overall! Few things I would've liked to see:
1) music or some soundeffects. 2) upgrading would affect ALL of the towers. It took me a while until I realized it only upgrades a single tower. But like I said, nice game overall!

Typical tower defense, nice :)
I've always liked TD, but I have a few criticisms:
1. Maybe add different enemies or at least different textures.
2. Sound is very important.

The snowman!!!!
I am also bad at this game.

Plays smoothly, nice game! Some sound effects would be good, at least shooting and enemy kills - to improve experience and feedback. Overall, I like it.

Yay, a tower defense that is not too slow! Cool! +1 for using phaser!

I've always loved tower defence where you can update your tower. Good game

Cool tower defence game! I made it up to level 7! :)

Nice transition when you lose!
Other types of ennemies would be great rather than upgrading the snowmen : it doesn't appear on screen that they're better than the ones before and it would better reward the player.

Tough game, but fun. The gradual approach of winter as the snowmen get through was really nice.
cmayhem8 Dec 2014, 20:40
Got to level 7 but then they just marched through pretty much unharmed. Very fun game!

Fun tower defense game. I like how the screen transitions into winter, very neat effect. I enjoyed it, nicely done :)

Hi there. Really fun. Still tough at wave 8. Shame no sounds. Pretty good balance, maybe needs slow and other types of towers. Like the 'winter is coming' gradual death by snowman. Good job!

Nice use of Phaser.js :)

Would have loved a little SFX and BG music
