A downloadable game for Windows

Customizable particle generator that simulates snow falling.

UPDATE 1.6: Shader added to make the flakes sparkle. Sparkle effect is achieved with an RGB noise image. Multiple files were tried before the working one was found. It would look better with one the same size as the snowflake sprite sheet, but I could not find the right settings to generate one that worked well.

UPDATE 1.5: Full screen anti-aliasing added to config file options. This fixes an issue with intermittent frame drops. Flakes also now fall with some side to side movement to add some variety.

The included config file contains options that can be modified to get many different effects. Comments in the file should help describe what each option does.

The snowflake sprite sheet can be modified or replaced to customize what is falling and turn it into something else entirely. Scale, sprite size, and rotation can all be configured. Disable smoothing to make pixel art look better or enable it for more realistic textures.

Fullscreen mode ignores the resolution specified and uses the current desktop resolution, but a width and height still needs to be specified.

Rendering is locked to 60fps and enabling Vsync will help with screen tearing if needed.

Controls:
