Snow Fight!

[fred]

I just handed in a small game for a Flash course at my university. It's online, so try it out if you feel up to it. If there are some great pixel-artists out there, who are just dying t get their graphics in a game, let me know - I did the graphics for this game myself, and I'm getting punked for the retarded style by my friends, so if you feel you can do this game's graphics better than I did, let me know, and we'll show'em!

(mind, if you don't have a flash plugin for your browser, you wil be re-directed to where you can get it before the game launches)

Btw. any c&c on the game as such is welcome.

Nice, I like the graphics. It gives me the winter spirit.

It is rather difficult though. What do you do with the fying thing. I just can't get away from it and can't fire on it.

And when I die, it's stuck and can't get out of it. No matter what I press. Shouldn't there be a button for replay/quit?

[fred]

You're right, there should be some kind of "play again"-button. I will try to implement it, meanwile, pressing F5 refreshes the browser window, which restarts the game :-)

The flying thing can be killed with a direct snowball hit... but it can be hard to hit.

[esper]

You're not kidding.. that joker is right on you like flies on doodoo. Less rigid folowing by him of the main character might be welcome. Every time I played, he ganked me. Other than that, a fine game...

[fred]

Ok, maybe it's a bit too difficult. But did you try controlling the direction of the wind by moving the mouse around. The flying terror is affected by the wind direction...

[esper]

He is? He seemed to stick directly to me with little regard for the wind, but I never bothered changing it for two reasons:

1) I thought that was terribly complicated, and with the exception of that little white hamburger, I was doing fine free from wind changing.

2) I felt suddenly afraid that some ancient deity would smite me for entering into control of his or her sphere of influence...

[fred]

1 - yeah - changing the wind direction could be explaned better on the intro screen, I guess, and maybe its an unneccesary feature entirely - but I thoght people are used to using both mouse and keyboard for games, so why not use it for a new kind of gameplay.

2 - Oh, did I forget to tell? I cursed the game. Anyone playing it will die unexpectedly very soon afterwards. Sorry
