I'm not doing Advent, this year, so here's a game about a happy little Snowman.
-=-=-
The other day I made a game about a little Santa wandering around a maze, but Michael Fernie complained that there wasn't enough deadly shooting!
So here's another maze, and this time the snowman is throwing snowballs at ants and spiders.
Throw the snowballs at the ants, and .. are those spiders? I'm not sure. But I'm calling them spiders. And don't you dare suggest that I pinched the Alien sprites from Alien Deathmatch and threw them in to pad out the game. I definitely didn't do that! They're definitely ants and spiders..
... 2008!?! Good grief..
Controls
WASD - Move
IJKL - Shoot.
If you can get a Gamepad to work with your browser, be sure to try out Twin-Stick mode. That oughta work better.
What I Didn't Do
Pickups. I didn't think "Snowman throwing snowballs" needed anything like that.
[verse]
Running around me are the things that scare me,
And the wind and snow is everywhere.
I'm trying to fight all of the giant spiders,
While the hat keeps the wind from my hair.
[chorus]
It's driving me crazy. The spiders and ants are attacking.
Why can't I just have a nice winter's day?
Sitting out on the frozen lake with a mince pie,
Watching Santa and his Reindeer flying by.
That's what I'd like to do, today.
[break]
[verse]
Sliding all over the pond with my scarf,
I've got a pocket full of snowballs at the ready.
Come on little spiders, from your little spider holes.
I take aim and throw my weapons really steady.
[chorus]
It's driving me crazy. The spiders and ants are attacking.
Why can't I just have a nice winter's day?
Sitting out on the frozen lake with a mince pie,
Watching Santa and his Reindeer flying by.
That's what I'd like to do, today.
[bridge]
Shoot the spiders, Shoot the ants
Shoot with Snowballs, Shoot them all.
Shoot the spiders, Shoot the ants
Shoot my frosty rounded balls.
Shoot the spiders, Shoot the ants
Shoot with Snowballs, Shoot them all.
Shoot the spiders, Shoot the ants
Shoot my frosty rounded balls.
[drop][chorus]
It's driving me crazy. The spiders and ants are attacking.
Why can't I just have a nice winter's day?
Sitting out on the frozen lake with a mince pie,
Watching Santa and his Reindeer flying by.
Ext. Dave's front garden.
[Green is holding a set of ladders while Dave climbs up with a string of LED-modified Cola cans]
Dave: These aren't Matt's ladders, are they?
Green: No, I learned my lesson about borrowing things after the TV incident.
Dave: Just hold them steady. These Cola can lights are delicate!
[Dave stretches over to hook up another light]
Dave: Perfect! That's another four done.
Green: Right, shuffle time. Hold on tight!
Dave: Weeee!
[Green inches the ladder along]
Dave: Careful! These cans have been modified with love!
Green: And probably too much caffeine.
Dave: Caffeine's for Tea, Greenie. We discussed this a few weeks ago.
Green: Yeah, sorry. I forgot. That and the T-Rex arms thing.
Dave: Cola improves everything! Even Christmas decorations!
[Several ladder moves later]
Dave: Just think how amazing this will look! A roof edge of glowing Cola!
Green: [mutters] If we survive that long...
Dave: [mishears] Yep, nothing can go wrong.
Green: Nothing. Four more cans to go up?
Dave: Always four. It's the perfect number for balanced illumination!
[Dave and Greenie reach the last part of the roof]
Dave: Almost done! Just need to connect the power and-
Green: Dave...
Dave: What now?
Green: Is that... in the sky...
Dave: Superman?
Green: I think it's Santa...
Dave: What?! OH NO!
[The escaped inflatable Santa from yesterday appears, drifting directly towards them]
Dave: MY FESTIVE FRIEND HAS RETURNED!
Green: Dave, get down! NOW!
[Dave frantically scrambles down the ladders, as Santa crashes into the lights, pulling the entire string down]
Dave: [watching his Cola can lights crash to the ground] Ho ho ho-NO! Not again!
