I noticed that you color-coded the P1/P2/P3/P4 icnos but not the players themselves. I guess you'll change that for the final release? It might also be a good idea to color code the snow piles since the player can't take snow from the opponents' piles.]]> http://www.gameprojects.com/project?id=5f97fc1b20 Wed, 20 Jun 2007 06:25:52 +0000 SwampThingTom Comments http://www.gameprojects.com/project?id=5f97fc1b20
Thanks for the feedback, Derek. Actually the players' scarves are color-coded, although if you didn't notice that then it clearly needs to be more obvious. The characters will be changing anyway -- I'll make sure the new versions are more clearly colored.]]> http://www.gameprojects.com/project?id=5f97fc1b20 Thu, 21 Jun 2007 12:09:29 +0000 SteveKr Comments http://www.gameprojects.com/project?id=5f97fc1b20 Perhaps you can implement more than one level in one of the next versions and some new power ups (like "super snow balls [very great]" or "slow motion").]]> http://www.gameprojects.com/project?id=5f97fc1b20 Thu, 21 Jun 2007 23:10:32 +0000 SwampThingTom Comments http://www.gameprojects.com/project?id=5f97fc1b20 http://www.gameprojects.com/project?id=5f97fc1b20 Mon, 02 Jul 2007 11:28:46 +0000 Updates http://www.gameprojects.com/project/updates?id=5f97fc1b20
