Snow Battle

Single player battle game against increasing numbers of school yard buddies in this winter season. (Please forgive the photos... I dont have homebrew / other for creating good screen captures. The graphics are nicer than the blur from my phone.) Grab a hot cocoa thermos when you find one to replenish some warmth... Download the project and load & run the "SNOW" file.

Instructions:

Move (left/right) with D-pad Pack snowball by pulling down on D-pad... repeat for larger snowball Change direction with [Y] button Normal throw [A] Lob [X] Hold down either [A] or [X] to charge power of your throw. Pick up a thermos of hot cocoa when you can to restore your "warmth" A few notes on the "physics" in the game: - larger snowballs will cause more "cold damage" to your opponents... but they also will not have as much velocity relative to your power charge - when you throw a ball - it will account for your player's x-velocity at the time of release... so running towards your opponent will give you more speed on the throw. Conversely, back-pedaling will leave you often with an anemic throw - as you dig in the same location -the elevation will decrease. You and your opponents can use this to an advantage to get behind a snow-wall for protection (be careful of the LOBs) - there is no Angry-Birds-like angle control (in order to keep the game play simple.) Rather a lob releases at a high angle and a regular throw releases at a low angle. Adjust your snowball size, distance to opponent, and power of throw to get a better result. Thanks for playing

Notes:

Game offers simple terraforming in the snow with creative snowball packing.
