Has anyone else played this? It's one of my favorite games at the moment. The A & B buttons are a bit difficult to use in the heat of combat (though I actually tend to have a problem with hitting B by accident!), but it doesn't seem to be too hard to adjust. My only real complaints at the moment are:

1. You can't navigate the menus with the DPad. You have to swivel the controller back at the screen.

2. The game has a bug that causes it to become unplayable when you reach the boss.

The author is aware of the second issue, however, and is working to find a solution.

One thing that I really like is that it's the first Wii homebrew (that I'm aware of) to properly implement the pause button. (Yeah, stupid thing. I know. But it's really a big deal to me given how often I'm interrupted.)

All togther, I think it's a whole heaping lot of fun to play! Anyone agree?

About



SnowBlitz is a Flash-based homebrew game for the Nintendo Wii. The purpose of the game is to fight your way through snowfight after snowfight, to become the undisputed snow-fight champion of your neighborhood. But watch out! There are some pretty tough kids prowling around who'd like nothing more than to be the champion themselves! If you can't outwit them, then you may find yourself having to go back inside to warm up!

How to Play

Step 1: Load up the Internet Channel on your Wii.

Step 2: Click on the "Enter a Web Address" button and enter "Wiicade"

Step 3: Click on the "SnowBlitz" icon, then click "Play".

Instructions on how to use the Wiimote are in the game. Enjoy!

I played this yesterday. I was honestly a little underwhelmed, but I have never really enjoyed flash games. I got bored with it really quickly.

I will say this, of all of the Wiicade games, I think this is one of the best.

I'm waiting for the flash version of MAME to incorporate the wiimote

Last week I woke up at 2am and couldn't sleep. So after putzing around for a while I figured I'd try something on wiicade, and this i the game I played. It was fun, until I got ot the boss. Thent the screen shifted down off the TV and was unplayable. Not sure what happened, but i was a little frustrated. Did this happen to anyone else? The one other wiicade game I tried (some asteroids clone) weeks ago had another bug that made the game unplayable. I think wiicade needs to do a little more testing before putting games up. :/
