Snow Tree: my winter game

[General_CFR]

Hi! About a year and a half I showed to CFR community my TBS, which I was developing. Many commenters adviced to use Flash do make a game, so, I postponed my strategy and started studying ActionScript 3. I succeeded and I hope to show the new, better version of my TBS to you soon. And for now - here's my flash game "Snow Tree".

The idea is simple: drag-and-drop on the screen to create an air flow. It will carry snowflakes, and as they stick together near the ground, the snow tree will grow. Use it to reach the gifts hovering in the air. The higher is the tree, the more points and achievements you earn.

The game is here: http://www.kongregate.com/games/GeneralVimes/snow-tree

For better results don't click too often, but create a moderate-speed wind.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Doesn't look too bad. I'll have to try it out tomorrow.

I actually still play CardWars about once a month.

That was fun! I don't know why the game ended at 31,000 snow flakes though? I wanted to go on! Once winter is over, you can re-skin it as a sand tower or something!? Tree leaves in autumn?

 

[General_CFR]

Thank you very much!

To add the possibilities for competition, I initially give 20,000 snowflakes for the player, to reach as hich as possible. But from every gift you receive 500-2000 additional snowflakes, besides the stars.

And yesterday I added the Relax mode with unlimited snow, but in this mode only the achievements for the amount of snowflakes can be earned.

I'm 89th now for all time. 2nd attempt.
40th on Kong((By score)).
I reached 64500 flakes.

 

[General_CFR]

Wow, great!

 

[Boundless]

How come my score is higher in the "all time" table than "in the last ten" days table? It seems some of the huge scores of the last ten days have not reached the "all time"

Also, how on earth are you meant to catch all the snowflakes?! Has anyone managed that?

 

[General_CFR]

Really, this is something strange with the score table, as 10 days hasn't passed since the game рф been launced...

And catching all the snowflakes is not obligatory. The requirements for one of the achievements is to catch all the gifts before they reach the bottom of the screen.

67000 flakes is my best now with 33.5 m high

 

[Boundless]

I know, hence me wanting to get that achievement

Just wondering if it is actually possible?

 

[Gem Hound]

I have it I think. Yep. I do. I have the baseball glove.
"Don't let a single gift to fall"
Just get every gift on the screen. It also makes the game longer.

 

[Catharsis]

Actually the 'Catch all the gifts' one is possibly too easy. I got it by doing nothing. Just let the snowflakes pile up on the ground and the presents won't be able to reach it.

This game is really pretty though. I like that you added a camera-pan that enables you to see the entire tree once the game finishes.

 

[General_CFR]

Yes, when I tested the game I got to the height of 2 km, it took me less than an hour.

You pwned me.

Oh I am silly, I thought it meant catch all the snowflakes, not presents..
