//About//
This is my first Ludum Dare challenge (37th Ludum Dare). It's a good alpha, but it's not really a game. I procrastinated the sound and image but I can update some stuffs later once I get sleep, SWEET SLEEP.



Basically you build a snow fort with the snow tilegrid on the ground by selecting and holding down the left mouse button on a snow tile and creating snowballs. You can roll snowballs to make denser snowballs or pick them up for ammo.



I didn't get around to enemies until the final hour of the challenge so they just follow the player and take 1 hit to die. Snowballs are a little buggy and don't always collide with enemies because of how fast they are going, will fix this with sleep+time.



//Ideal game//
enemies have a* pathfinding, but can also brute force into fort;
enemies + player look cooler or textured instead of using SVG;
more player upgrades + options;
waves + menu and normal game stuffs;
music + soundFX;



made in Processing 3 with JBox2d (and hopefully a* path-finding with an update)
