Reviews for "The Snow Runs Red"
Fun enough game
This game was pretty fun, I really enjoy the 8-bit style, but if you're going to try to make a top-down shooter like this you need to be able to aim in all directions. The mouse to aim and shoot doesn't work. Sometimes I'd click outside of the game and accidently pause it. A previous review said to use WASD to move and the arrow keys to shoot, and I think that is a good idea. This would also sort of help the 8 bit feel. Another annoying thing was how the kids moved way faster than the bullets. 6/10
disapointing...
it seems that people now think that they can jus make pixlated art and its a good game, but this proves that wrong

Okay game
It's a funny idea and the game is kinda fun, but, like all other games like this, it gets old after a while. There were some major things I didn't like, however.
The fact that the retro 8-direction shooting is combined with mouse-aiming really ticked me off. I kept missing shots even though I was aiming right at them because the bullets don't travel in the direction of the mouse, they travel in 1 of 8 directions, whichever is closest to where the mouse is pointing. My brain kept telling me I should be hitting the target, but the aiming really screwed me up.
Not only that, but what also ticked me off is that the tree did not fully heal unless you bought the tree hp upgrade (which costs most of your money, leaving no money to use on other things). Not only that, but if the tree was destroyed, it wouldn't heal at all unless you bought the upgrade. I think there should have been a repair tree option that costs less than the upgrade so you wouldn't have to spend all your money upgrading its health.
Otherwise, it was kinda fun. I'm gonna have to give a 3/5 because of the really weird mechanics.
