I really liked the sound effects! This would be a lot more fun if I had someone else here to try it out with me.

Hi there. Really nice sounds, reminded me of the Insheeption south park episode... anyway... The game is like an early one from Mario Party, nice slipping mechanics. Good job.

Mario Party! Thanks for the nostalgia trip.

The sound effects are amazing. Have nobody here to play local coop with, but I can see that the game is quite fun just like that. XD

Boosh. Boosh!

I like the idea that moving increases your mass. Simple resource management layered upon absurdity :)

Nice and funny game. The sound effects are awesome ahahah

Haha I played this with my wife and she now hates me because I became so good at it :) Love the graphics, simple gameplay... Loved the music at first but kinda got bored after a while :)

Nice game and the sfx were funny. Reminded me of a mini-game from marioparty but the slide-y-ness made it hard to control.

Sound effects!

coderdozer 2014-12-09 20:04

An AI option would be nice. Sound effects were good.

Had a blast with my dad it was fun to see how big we could make the snowmans before we fell off.

Great game idea. Yeah, like someone said, it's a bit like bumper balls in Mario Party except you switched it up with the rolling mechanic, which makes it a lot more interesting, scaling the size.

I also spent far too long trying to make them perfectly smash each other so they'd blow up simultaneously. At one point realised I'd spend the past 5 minutes rolling back and forth, increasing its size and then removing the exact same size again, bit of an optical illusion, felt like it was continually getting smaller but I pretty much reached the minimum size rofl.

But yeah, great effort, nice one. Go England and all that too.

Great idea, it would have been even better to have a best-of-N, but that was hard within the time limit. Great work on the rolling animation!

What a music! Sploosh! What an awesome, fun and innovative game.
Very fun to play with friends. You can create snowballs that are bigger than the screen and would be impossible according to physics. That idea that you can create huge snowmans is awesome. Sounds are creative(I laughed sooo hard when I heard "Sploosh!"). The music isn't actually bad, so that's good!
Maybe a little more polishing, I've found some bugs.
I wish I could say more, but I don't know what to say!
Definetly an awesome game, great work!

Played this with my daughter and we had a lot of fun with it. I like how the snowmen get larger the more you roll around. It adds a bit of strategy to the game.

It is very hard to turn around a combat, because if the other one is bigger of has the upper hand you're already screwed.

The sound effects were lovely, the music really stuck in our heads.

We tried for the sake of it to see how big we could get the snowmen to be, the experience did not let us down.

Good job!

Thank you everyone for your kind words and ratings. This is the best-scoring LD game I've ever made. :D
