I haven't found any lag yet, depends on the user's rig i suppose. Seems like a pretty nice engine. The buy blends in the with snow only too well though, and least add eyes. Work on the walking cyle too. The snowball throwing needs some work. But other then the things I've meantioned, it's ok. ^^

no lag for me but my computer has 3 gigs of ram nothing lags on it.

[Lucas4560]

I dose lag a bit like when you fire the snowballs or whatever they are fall a bit slow and when you jump down you fall too slow. not really a lag just some things that could be improved. BTW the game graphic wise looks terrible.

[joshy24]

Perhaps you should add a quality button for people with low end specs. Search it.

I didn't get any lag but I lost my character frequently in the snow.(Just call me stupid) Mabye add a little bit of an outlining to your character and fix the walk cycle. Other than that you did better than my first few times flash making.

lol thanks for the replies

i suck at art work so i havnt really work on it, lol.

just wanted to fix the lag problem b4 i really did anything?
cheers

Its playable, but it deafinantly chugs. Not sure why. Must be the code, because from what i can see, the graphics dont seem intense enough to cause the lag. And its hard to fix your code without seeing it. : /

[Gary7]

hmmm yes but f i post my code it will be stolen lol

[jesseRYU]

lol it's really kinda fun. I had no lag.

Hey if you have a good idea going with this though if you need some more bad guys or art pm I'd love to help.

[Duchednier]

It doesnt lag for me, but i suggest putting a black outline around the dude, i know it wouldnt fit but when you're in front of a cloud or something you cant see him.

[mechanixnut]

It didn't lag for me, but there was one thing that you should change. The guy when he stands in front of the snow is invisible. Just put a dark outline on him to change that. Other than that it is a pretty good game. Keep it up.

[Tomajko]

Pretty good. It might lag if someone holds in spacebar for a while and therefore throwing like 500 snowballs(which is something you should fix), but to answer your question, no, it's not laggy. The snowball physics are bad though, they bounce off of walls and fly all around the place, try to work that out. Also, possibly make them dissolve when they hit an object or surface. Like others are saying, put some sort of outline around the character, and work on his animations more. I guess the graphics aren't the worst thing in the world, but they're just really bland. Even if you're not the best artist, try to add at least some more color and detail to it. Just work on that stuff, and it seems like it'll be quite a fun game.

I got no lag. One major thing to work on however, is gravity ;)

[barfingDog]

i didn't get any lag at first, but i was able to cause it to lag pretty easily by making a collection of snowballs. one thing to help with this (in addition to fixing the holding down spacebar issue someone else mentioned) would be to give the snowballs a lifespan instead of having them last forever. you could also make them just disappear on contact, but it looks like thats probably not the route you want to take.

[HandsomeJake]

perhaps you should put a black line around the little character. I couldn't see where I was whenever it was in front of a snowcap.

[0gg-the-Gnome]

I get no lag, but i highly suggest putting a de-spawn rate on those snowballs, because if you move and hold space, you got an infinite stream of snowballs, which gave me a little lag.

[DP36]

I don't see any lag. But i have a fast com.

[Strik3Mast3r]

Hmmm, it doesnt lag for me. One problem, when you attack with the snowball, if you hold down the space bar it shoots out millions of snow balls, causing it to lag.......
