Pretty cool game, snow ball fight puzzler is a great take on the theme, nice entry! The level where you had to get the right angle for the snow ball to build up enough momentum and jump over the trees was really clever design, and the way the ball grows in size as it goes was the cherry on top. Very cool moment. The levels overall had a satisfying difficulty curve, but some of the ending ones felt too hard. It could be a skill issue but they felt more frustrating then clever to solve (as opposed to that early jump level which felt great to solve even if it took multiple attempts to get it). I also found it odd that the ground pound skill didn't drop the snowball straight down but instead at like a 15 degree angle to the right, felt a little weird to control. The voice acting is a nice touch and the background music adds to the vibe. Overall, I had a fun time with my play through. The concept and theming is on point, and the core puzzle gameplay is engaging. Snowball upgrades after each level was a nice touch and the halfpipe level was stellar. Keep up the good work!
I love the gameplay and the shop system but yeah the character sprites don't match with the others kids, btw cool game!
Thank you for the detailed feedback. You mean the main character doesn’t fit with the other characters, or the art in general? :)
Yeah, Billy looks more pixelated than the others characters and threes, they look more "blurry" or "shaded"
It was a pretty fun experience! I really liked the art style and the level where you could let the snowball keep rolling, I kept jumping and slamming to see how big the snowball could get. Nice player progression too, congrats!
I am glad! Making the snowball big (and small) was going to and will be part of the physics puzzle in future stages! It is my favorite part of this game. It is unlimited in size. It slows down by r^3 so I might need to let it grow more cause I feel some players including myself, love it!
Really appreciate the feedback and you spending time getting familiar with the game.
Cool idea! I also had a "throwing" type game, but we ended up doing something totally different. I really liked the ideas of the different powerups, although I couldn't beat the level where you have to use the stars.
I enjoyed playing it.
Thanks a lot for the super valuable feedback! I’ll definitely modify that level and slightly tweak the game physics for the mobile release. It’s feedback like this that helps make a game good and fun. <3 Have a great day! I’m really glad you made it up to that level. :) I’ll also add a dash style visual effect for the ground-pound and a sound effect.
I feel blessed that game developers have such a community where even beginners can get precious feedback to help grow their skill and understanding of level design and gameplay.
The level design and powerup design was really clever. Definitely keep it up!
Good game! Little bug, at space to jump level my snowball go out of screen XD
Oh, sorry. :) Did it let you keep playing? I was aware this kind of stuff could happen and fixed some of the bugs a few minutes after the submissions closed. https://thehandsonguy.itch.io/snowballin-fix
Thanks for checking it out. :)
sadly no, i need to restart. Maybe add hidden barrier could solve it :D
btw it's still great time! I will back to play at future
I love the jumping and the slam thing and I was going to name my game the same lol
Thanks for playing <3
Did the VA (narrator voice) at lvl 1 play correctly?
I’ve been having some weird bugs.
it did now but now before i think i clicked too fast
There must be a bug. Good to know. :) Hope you have a meaningful jam!
Good gameplay and a nice visual style, but the character sprites feel a bit out of place compared to the overall art style. Overall, good job
I fixed some bugs in the last hour and didn’t upload in time. Here is the stable version of the game. Consider playing it instead. I prefer to have feedback for that. :) https://thehandsonguy.itch.io/snowballin-fix
