Reviews for "Christmas Castle Defense"

ha

dont worry i made it even

Great!

I feel quite bad making the last review go down abit. But i have to review this game :]

Great game i love the snow effect even tho i hate it.. hehe good game well made.

Amazing concept/programming. Gameplay lacking.

how I played this
==================
Played once. Got to L6. realised the whole concept of snow being the enemy...

Played 2 more times, getting to L6, then L7.

Played one last game after reading a review, realised that 'hot hands' needed us to click to destroy snow. With that ability, I was able to get to level 20, after which the enemies suddenly stopped coming. My score was 121244. (I'd decided to try and get exactly 123456 before stopping, but ah well...)

some selected aspects
===================

++++ I reallly like the idea of having a natural enemy.

---- I really think you should have full instructions. Both to explain the concept and also to explain what the abilities do.

-- One time when I clicked all the abilities a bunch of times, I couldn't seem to remove snow anymore. I'm assuming this was an error.

--- Hot hands makes it too easy for anyone who can click fast. Maybe you should make that remove snow at a certain rate as you move the mouse over? And clicking 'hot hands' multiple times should increase that rate.

- It doesn't seem thematically consistent for the enemies to turn into snow when they hit your castle. I suppose you could say they're 'snow sprites' or something, though...

- It's easy to click the ability buttons by accident when clicking on a flying fish.

+++ Really nice motion over snow, specially with the jet-ski (or whatever those things are called).

+++ Build-up of snow works really well.

++ I like the blurring as you move the walkers. How the hell did you do that?

overall
========

A really cool concept with terrain deformation that's a sight to behold. I felt the gameplay was just a case of working out the (unexplained) abilities, after which it became really easy for the whole game if you can click fast.

Still, I enjoyed it because of the deformation aspect.

Stay funky,
- Bez

error

my castle couldnt be killed unless with snow other things didnt work...maybe u should fix tht but loved the game and he idea ;)

Funny

I don't know ehat people mean when they say that abilities don't do anything. Quick-Melt Reduces snow near the castle,Firestorm (or whatever) rains quick melting on cursor and Hot Hands makes you melt snow on touch. I loved that game. Absolutely.
