CONTROL


You control the ice-paddle, WASD to move.

STORY


The children are starting a snowball fight. Will you show them how to make a snowman, or fight back instead?

HOW TO WIN


The game is over if you make 16 snowmen, or win the snowball fight (no more kids left).

1. Direct the snowballs to the middle of the screen to build the snowman.
2. For every snowman you complete, the ice-paddle will extend!
3. If you prefer, direct the snowballs at the kids. They will run home.

THEME: The more you have, the worse it is.



This theme applies in 3 ways:
1. More snowballs, harder to return them back.
2. Size of ice-paddle extends, and slows down, harder to handle.
3. More kids throwing snowballs

WINDOWS


Extract the entire zip contents and navigate inside the folder. Then double-click `ldjam.exe`

LINUX


Extract the entire zip contents and navigate to the folder in your favourite terminal.

Make the binary executable:
```
chmod +x ldjam
```

To use the included SFML 2 library files (required if you dont have SFML 2.4):
```
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.
```

Run the game:
```
./ldjam
```

BUILDING FROM SOURCE


These are rough guidelines off the top of my head, please only follow this if you know what the commands do.

The game depends on SFML 2.4 and CMake.

Extract the entire zip contents and navigate to the folder in your favourite terminal.

```
mkdir build
cd build
ln -s ../data data
cmake ..
make
```
