Snowball Madness

Off Topic

So i spent this weekend at an Xmas IndieJam which meant i spent the weekend surronded by people trying to make a prototype of game that could be played by others. Even though i have little experience and art i decided to try it out and after working for some hours i managed to make a rather simplistic bullet hell game, something which can be enjoyed through pure stubborness.

it has some flaws but hope you will check it out

I think you were not involved in the programming part right? I’d still want to say that the controls would have been better if the ball were your cursor^^

Also I don’t think that the score is seconds is it? More like shot bullets or something like that.

I made the entire thing from scratch, the problem with mouse controls would be that it would either be

  1. insanely fast meaning i had to add more cannons just to have some difficulty
  2. feel crazy sluggish cause the movement would have a limit

Every snowball that hits a wall gives you a point, so it is basically ‘‘per snowball dodged completely’’

yea I see. It’s just that I like the bullet hell games more where you have more precise controls. And the mouse is more precise than WASD^^

Most of them also allows you to get hit as long as its not the very core, you die if any part of your character gets hit, meaning quite a bigger hitbox, making it a bit harder.

Yea that’s also another point. But for a little game it’s quite neat^^

I had 30 hours to make the entire game, including figuring out how to even program at all xD
