Such agreat idea! The concept is great, the action promise is there, the art is simple but very efficient! I love this game but I have to say in terms of gameplay I felt there was some balance to be found. If I may I would recommend to shot automatically instead of shooting at each click (which can be a bit frustrating because the game require you to shot constantly). Also I kept dying at first until I just stayed next to the engine and spammed the shooting. It ended up feeling very convenient and efficient but made the gameplay a bit less exciting. I couldn't get to the end because I really got swarmed by enemies. Congrats on your work! It's pretty efficient!

Audio, game feel and art are so great! It was fun finding a rhythm to see when the snowmen would bounce to avoid them.

Visuals on this one are great! Excellent job on the art direction.

Realy fun game , the gameplay is feelind good , also visuals are great . Too much snowmans are spawned i think , thats why i can't complete this game , but still very good game , maybe i'm just casual player :)

Nice little game! I loved the artwork and the game feel was great! At first I didn't realize that you could shoot super fast which made the game impossible. lol

The game is amazing and the moving train effect is really cool and so cinematic🔥, great work on it.. as the enemies increased it got kinda tough to shoot them all  so maybe an new weapon drop would been an amazing addition in future!

The game is great i really liked it...plz add a time showing feature and after sometime the density of snowman gets really high so it becomes very difficult apart from that the game is nice

The visuals are very great, I'm a big fan of the parallax! I'm not really good at it tough

I'm confused - the snowmen come crashing down from off screen and then jump right back up, like they have the world's most powerful pogo sticks. Is that just me? So I can't really play, but it looks and feels great otherwise.

I enjoyed this, gameplay felt smooth and fun. good job

Super fun gameplay, but as a pixel artist I'm really distracted by the clashing artstyles you got here. The snowmen and train have black outlines, the trees have no outline and no shading and the mountains in the back are shaded and dithered. Outside of art I find it really fun though.

Pretty cool and fun.

It does become too hard by the end, close to unfair, you'd get swarmed by snowmen. And it's a bit too clicky, I wish you could just hold Mouse1 and just fire instead of clicking every shot. Still it was super fun.

Though I don't understand what else they drop, other than coal. I don't know what that other yellow/orange thing was. I was still picking it up just in case but I don't know what it was.

Fun game, beautiful art, I love that minimalistic art, the train animation and the wagons looked awesome. Great job!

Nice idea, liked it. I found it really really difficult at the moment but I could imagine a game from this, with more player agency, levels and items. Nice job!

Submitted

The visuals were simple but so effective! this was fun I tried so hard to beat it the second time, but as soon as i get to the last segment i get swarmed. Nice game!

Submitted

The art style is so cool i love it!
