Snow Fortress is a really fun game that honestly took me by surprise. I figured this would be 5 minutes before I got bored but it ended up pulling me in for 2 hours of ducking, dodging, and throwing. Being early access it doesn't currently have a lot of content so I'll be excited to see more levels and items added throughout the process. Right now there are 2 modes, Survival and Snow Fort.
In Snow Fort you are trying to complete each level by defeating the snowmen behind pre built forts, as levels go up towards twelve they get more difficult by giving the snowmen better bases and vantage points. This was the meat of the game for me, the levels quickly became challenging as you have to think how to build your own fort and where to attack first. Currently I've completed 11/12 levels.
In Survival you build a base and then face wave after wave of snowmen that aren't behind any cover, as the wave number gets higher you'll begin facing more snowmen. The cool thing about Survival is that it has a global leaderboard.
Pros
Cute atmosphere and fox
12 levels with more to come
Constant 90fps
Dodging snowballs works great, never got hit when I felt like I shouldn't have.
Leaderboards in Survival
Cons
Few items although they plan to add more
Very quiet game, could use some more music
Overall I enjoyed the game a lot and certainly recommend it, judging by the trailer I assumed this would be a very easy game meant just for kids but the difficulty went up nicely and I bet newer levels will be even more challenging. If you want to see some gameplay I also have a video here.

I'm still laughing at the 36 year old crawling over the floor,
trying to hide behind the ruins of his once mighty snowfortress,
dodging snowballs in 21° C.
That's right me!
I'm looking at you!

Cute game. You can barely play one handed (you can throw snowballs, but you have to use the slingshot to be competitive). You can mostly play sitting down as long as you are able to turn around to take objects, and move your head to the sides.

Wow, just wow. This game is an excellent example of what VR should be.
Game is easy to get into, runs smoothly and has a great play style. If I were at a party, I would use this game to intro people to VR. The interacts feel right, anyone can get into it and play.
Game is a little too difficult right now, but I am excited to see where it is going to go. Maybe multiplayer??

This is a really cute little game with nice graphics. Like others, I'd like to see a few more levels / challenges. Also, I wish there was a way to automatically generate your fort. Perhaps there could be an option to use the fort you built from the previous stage? It actually gets a little annoying to have to build a new fort each time. Otherwise, a great game (especially for kids) with a very small learning curve.

Great game so far. Immersive, intuitive, challenging and fun. Needs more content and balancing, in the best case MP, but the foundation is very promissing!
@Devs: Keep up the good work! @Vivers: Highly recommended!

Fun game for kids to play around with! There were times that the snowballs would go right through the enemy's wall and not do anything which was frustrating. But overall the game is great and cute!
