This game was a pretty fun concept, though I think some of my actions broke upon entering the level and the hub was pretty confusing to navigate. I really like the music and visuals though!

Nice game with a lot of different mechanics. I think it is cool that you only refill your snowball ammo when standing on snow tiles. I had trouble with the first level boss and quit after some tries. I think adding checkpoints would really help this game because the levels are quite large and lengthy.
I had a hard time finding my way around the maps. I also think my dodge/roll button broke on the actual level. I liked the concept of having to be in the snow to refill my snowballs, that was a fun challenge. It made me think of the old Snowball Fight game on Windows, cool stuff!
A Great concept but I think the map was too big for what it needed to be done. Either needed continuous enemies spawning to have something to do, or a smaller map to get from one igloo to another, or more direction to where you need to go.
The tutorial was excellent, this has 16 bit Nintendo game vibes. Even the nice music fits perfectly!
I like the tutorial, it introduced what's needed without any popups etc.
When I passed the tutorial, I spawned on a map, walked everywhere. tried to open doors of the houses at the crossing, but nothing happened. beyond the fences were some iglu, but I could not throw a snowball beyond the fence. after 5min of trespassing around, I gave up. I must be missing something, could you tell me what I suppose to do on the main map?
