That was really fun! Could've had more random and weird items to spice things up.

Also, I couldn't get eyes to their positions... Here's my lovely creation: http://i.imgur.com/tfIguTW.png

My creation looked like anything except a snowman :) Nice, clean design! I liked how the snowballs grew as you rolled them in the snow.

Much eyes, so vision! Wow. Snow bug yum.

Translation: Ah yes, the solidity (in Box2D this is the sensor attribute of a fixture) of the buttons and carrot are supposed to change when clicked but for some reason it works on about 50% of them for me and 0% for you. Thanks a lot! Nice job on that large base snowball too.

Cute. Fun. Clever. Theme fail, but nice game anyway.

Simple but silly. I liked it.

What an excellent game!

I made a terrible job of making a snowman. He looked like the creature from the pit, but at least he stood upright.

My wife made a "Mum plays..." of this game: http://youtu.be/WHu4VKqlFcg

(and it was one of her favourites so far)

@Absor, woah, 10/10 for the super smart snowman, I've never even managed such a big snowball myself. Must be because you're Finnish :P

@badlydrawnrod thank you both! I watched and clicked the thumbs up :P

I had fun building a snowman, even if it looked nothing like one. Good job :)

Simple, nice idea done really well. I love the fact that you have to roll up the balls first :)

So much fun! I love sandbox stuff like this; dynamic environments can make for some satisfying and/or hilarious results.
Here's one of my creations, in two stages of life: imgur.com/bejEFuc

Thank you all for the kind words, and screenshots :) I'm planning on doing a little collage for Instagram & Twitter with your creations. Also just "ported" the game to be mobile friendly. You can now open the web link on your tablet/smartphone/iPod and it will resize and re-orient for just about any case. I also fixed some bugs and replaced the particles from shape to sprite as that's a major mobility issue in GameMaker.

This was fun and cute, nice job!

Definitely a fun little toy box! The physics are pretty fun, and who doesn't love snowmen? One thing I noticed is that the hats appear to respond to physics impulses backwards when they're upside-down. i.e., pull up on the right side and the hat spins clockwise. Maybe I'm missing something though.

Very simple but fun
