Reviews for "The Snow Runs Red"

If the aiming was better

This game was have been a lot more fun. As it was, with only 8 directions, it was just frustrating. The music and weapons were fun, but it just eventually got too tedious strafing only to have my weapons avoid the kid right in front of me because she turned 45 degrees to the west.

I liked it

I really enjoyed this game. It was good to play a christmas game with Mrs. Clause instead of santa. I only found 2 things I did not like. There is no endless mode and there should be and the aiming controls would sometimes stick and I would not stop shooting

meh

this game is very repetative and quite limiting,

it really pisses me off how you can't aim properly, this is why we have more advanced games see, how about being able to aim in more than 8 damn directions, this kid was right infront of me and i was clicking on him, hmm nothing hit him...why? because for some reason you thought it would be a good idea to use primative aiming for this game. Really this game isn't that bad, if you're gonna have a story at least follow through with it, I like the ideas of the gift drops and the trees and the different types of kids and the way the weapons aren't all the same...that gives you 4 points, everything else I can't be bothered to list, so lets say its not my kind of thing, I'm glad others can enjoy it, nice effort.

Repetitive but good

8-bit graphics, chiptune Christmas song, gameplay taken straight from Smash TV and blood. It is a perfect combination for a Christmas game.
The games looks and plays really, really good, but I hate to say that gameplay is too shallow. Unlike Smash TV this game has only one level, no bosses (I've played it to the 25th level, so maybe there are bosses that I don't know of) and it just goes on and on. It gets boring pretty quick.
But I realize that this is the game for killing some time (and greedy kids) and it was not meant to be anything deeper than that. At least that is the impression I've got from playing it.
The game has the charm and fantastic gameplay and it was fun while I was playing it. Yes it is repetitive but that is only one con against many pros that the game offers.

5/5 8/10

8-bit madness.

I just can't simply find a word to describe this wonderful masterpiece that you've created. Your probably the only one here whose made a game about Mrs. Claus and you've portrayed her like she's one badass killer. I just can't find any flaws in the game and suggestions on how to improve it. Except maybe having more enemies and an endless mode which you can have unlimited ammo while fighting your way through infinite hordes of naughty children. Props to you bro.

10/10
