Reviews for Snow Tale

Fun game, but has its faults.

Namely, jumping. I can't count how many times I've died or annoyed by how when you jump the game ignores any changes in velocity. I've sat right next to a platform jumping straight up trying to move a bit to the right. I've overshot into some spikes and the bottomless pits. I like the game, I think its clever, but I've gotten so used to being able to control the character in the air that it's kind of become expected. Heck, some games actually make it required to do so.

Eh, controls are messed up

I often found the character slippery and hard to control especially when jumping. Platform games are a lot more fun _without_ slippery acceleration to move.

Here's the way it should work:
- when you press left, your character goes left instantly at a constant speed (no matter whether he's on the ground or in the air)
- when you press right, your character goes right instantly at a constant speed
- when you press neither, your character stops instantly

Pretty good, fix the controls

Pros:
-cool art style and visuals
-decent music
-the house transportation was a good touch
-great use of theme with the ice

Cons:
-character looks a bit like a diabetic Kirby with ice power
-controls are really annoying
-platformer genre has been done a lot, and freezing element still doesn't make this terribly unique

Fix the control scheme and this could probably get an 8-9.

goo but...

Its good but honestly the sidescroller style of game that imitates aspects of mario games is really overdone.

would of been nice if it maybe had some RPG elements and collectible items to unlock abilities and possible secret levels.

It was alright

I really hated the inability to move while jumping. Or rather, I hated the fact that you needed to build up momentum with running otherwise you couldn't jump very far. That irritated me at time when I needed to jump from one small platform to another, with a gap of death in between. Or I had to jump over that spike on that moving platform.
It's a good game, good concept, I just didn't like the jumping part.
