[cadin]

I know you've all been eagerly awaiting the sequel to Snow Day.
After two long years, it's finally almost ready:

Snow Day 2: Snowman Jam


I'm getting ready to release this soon.
Please have a look and let me know what you think.
Does the gameplay makes sense to you? Notice any bugs?

Thanks guys.

It's Awsome!
Very well executed.
Quite addictive.
I played about 5 minutes. Is there a reason why you can't shoot anymore when you caught a gift (until you bring it to the snow man) ? It can be a disadvantage to catch gift if you are in left part of the screen because you will loose a lot of time to bring the gift to the snowman.

Thanks, I'm glad you like it.

About the throwing/carrying:
Conceptually, you can't throw anymore because your hands are full.
Game design-wise, I like the conflict it creates for the player. You have to decide if it's more beneficial to pick something up, or to keep throwing ice. It makes you strategize and think about how you should move around in the game.

Did you find that it made the game pleasantly challenging, or just frustrating?

Good stuff bud. I think your next project should be a pong-like game where you have to block 'decompiler' bullets from Chinese programmers, and foil their attempts to break through your 'ownership rights barrierr' and steal your game for their Olympic website.

I enjoyed it. It was very fun bit it would get boring for me after the first 5 minutes. I liked the game the theme was very entertaining.

The game is very pleasant. It reminds me some of the orsinal games. It's not a game that you will come back to play again and again like a TD game but it's very pleasant for a 5 minutes break.

I was going to make it so the 'Fuwa' Olympics mascots would come and steal the items from you if you didn't get them fast enough, but I decided I didn't want to get sued.
