Snowball Fight Game

This is a nice take on the classic 90s game. However, the progression in this game is quite difficult and slow... feels grindy when it shouldn't... the boss for the very first level shouldn't take that long to beat and the risk/reward for parrying the enemy snowballs are extremely low. You never get stronger and it just feels like the same thing but longer... I have been looking forward to this game for a year and I am very disappointed. The mechanics of this game are good it's just the progression and unnecessary beginning difficulty that makes me not want to play this game again.

This game has a mix of OSU like elements mixed in with SuperHot, and some bullet hell vibes. It’s a bit of a unique mix in terms of gameplay mechanics. There’s not really any progression in terms of levelling up, or building out your character, it feels more about getting into a flow state, throwing and parrying snowballs and getting better by just getting more comfortable with your mouse and the parrying mechanics (which feel really good). In each world there’s distinct enemies that throw snowballs with different patterns, and a unique boss fight (though the character models are mostly reused). If you’re looking for some deep progression, or an intense story, I don’t think this game is for you. It’s a simple mouse reflex game that feels fun to play, and is really dang tough.

Glad this game is tagged as psychological horror because I now have nightmares every night about being pelted in the face with snowballs. I played Snowcraft a ton growing up so it's really cool to see a modern reimagining of the concept. Game is hard as all heck but once you get a hang of how to parry reliably (moving forward into the oncoming snowballs, then backing away like in the trailer videos), it gets really fun! I love seeing how quickly I can clear the early levels now. I'm not chad enough for hardcore mode but classic gives a nice challenge and the checkpoints don't feel too punishing. It's good fun!
