The Winter is here and the angry snowmen have awoken from their sleep.
Your hero has dealt with them in the past. Can you survive their endless attacks once more?
Your goal in Winter Blast is to kill the enemy snowmen for as long as you can. You move around the arena with WASD or the arrow keys, and you aim with your mouse and Left Click to fire.
The game gets progressively harder and you can unlock a shotgun-type weapon later on.
Post Mortem: - I wanted to do more weapons but ran out of time. - I wanted to make more power-ups but ran out of time. - I wanted to make more enemies but guess what? I changed my mind.
I made the game using the PlayCanvas WebGL engine, PhotoShop for the UI and textures, NanoStudio and Audacity for the music.
NOTE: Game will look / play better if you go full screen by clicking on the full screen button on the bottom or by playing here: apps.playcanvas.com/vaios/ld31/winterblast
The game is fun if playing as intended. The audio is great. My biggest problem with the game is that by using total time as a score system, the best strategy is to not shoot anything and stay on level 1.
@unnamed1334 thanks for the helpful comments! Yeah that's true I didn't think about that. To be honest the score system was very last minute. The good thing is that I could easily change it to be your total xp or level :D
Hi there. Really nice presentation. Fairly generous until about 90 seconds in when gets pretty impossible quickly, reached 120 seconds in the end. Like the music as well as little touches like the jet exhaust on the player character. Good job!
This is a solid game: I like that there's a progression of enemies, wave arrangements, power ups, and so on. This kept the game fun for longer. Well done! I'd like to see a bit more gameplay innovation and a stronger application of the theme.
This is a pretty solid little shooter. A couple of areas to improve: The bullets being fired were hard to see, and the results of shooting felt insubstantial. It's also hard to tell what the upgrades and collectibles are doing.

I just can't help wondering how jet propelled snowmen don't melt :)
It's pretty polish and fun. I just would have like an higher fire rate ...
Well done!
Nice one.
