Unable to go past the menu screen. Could only make it look good by playing it at 1440p. Lovely menu screen though.

I made it to the part where the ice was introduced. Nice game and cool idea. The fps was quite choppy even with terrain deformation off, but the game is still playable. I really liked the graphics, the game looked very consistent and good. The mood was very wintery, which was nice. The music got quite repetitive fast, but it was nice to listen to at first. The gameplay was quite hard but fair. Good job!
I tried the first level 3 times and I guess I have to pick up every single snow particle to make it over the canyon? It was just taking way too long and I lost patience with the trial and error :(
Looks like a cool concept though, a little like katamary damacy
Played the first two levels, and they were super cool (ehehehe). I like the seasonalish music, and the graphics are very nice. One of the things I had an issue with though was that the snowball was super slow when it was small - but maybe the speed is the same regardless of size and it just feels faster when you're bigger? A slightly faster mini snowball would have been nice. The fireplace mechanic was seamless with the screen going red so it was clear what was happening. I really liked the parts that I played overall, good job :)
Smart ,i like the concept, you know, when the ball is so big, it could eat other things like wood and rocks, like Katamari
Ncie game.
Pleasant and good game, right touches, just fit the season.
Hey, another take on the growing snowball genre! I made one too :)
Loved the way the terrain changed as I rolled around - that was really nice! I beat the game but wish I could have moved around just a touch faster
i give it a katamari/10
Very good game. I think it could be a little faster though, you spend too much time gathering snow, I think. But I had fun playing it to the end. Good job!
I enjoyed this game alot! But I wish there was a control to allow you to control accelerate/stop.
Not bad at all, add more levels!
Cool idea, rolling a snowball that grows over time is very appealing to me. I like how you actually pick up snow off the ground as you roll as well. You don't seem to do that much other than grow by rolling snow and shrink by touching fire, though. Could pick stuff up by rolling over it and then drop it off by shrinking.
The music loop was too short and got grating after a while, it set the mood well though.
Wow, perfect use of the themes, gorgeous graphics, and clever game play. Really great!
KAtamary feelings I wish it faster! nice mechanics thou
Really dig the terrain deformation as you roll. Runs a bit slow and made my little laptop catch fire. Whoops!
I really like the mechanics here :)
It runs slow, like you said, but I was able to make it past that. My only complaint is that I wish I had a little more control over the momentum/turning. An adjustment there would really make a difference. :)
I finished the game, really cool! I liked it, cool puzzles!
Good work! You combine both themes in a single cool idea :). My frame rate is very low but a NVIDIA GTS250 can't do much better :D. The music fits perfectly as well.
Good fit in themes. Also good graphics and music. Im sure was fun to make it, at least ad fun as play. Well done!
I got stuck on level 3. Nice looks and cool use of terrain deformation to show how the ball grows and interacts with the world. The music was nice for about the first 2 loops; maybe this would be better with just sort of wind sounds?
This is the nicer looking and more Adventure-y version of my entry, which is a race. Liked where you were going with this, well done!
Reminded a bit of katamari. Nice game, great job!
Simple, but very nice great game!
Can't launch the Linux version. Crashes immediately on startup.. If I had to guess the problem I'd bet it was my out-of-date integrated graphics.
Nice concept, i particularly like how you have to melt yourself to get through smaller gaps, clever!
The game started to feel a little repetitive after a while despite its short length, mainly due to the fact that you get slower as you get bigger, which makes sense but does make the whole experience a bit of a slog. Sound effects might also help. It's definitely a solid foundation you could build upon though, nice work!
nice 3d graphic! well done :)
Nice entry! I considered doing a snow ball game too! :)
I liked the game although it was a bit slow for my taste but nice idea!
Nice graphics, well-suited audio, very polished game. One bit of feedback: there were a few 'player is permanently stuck' spots where it wasn't obvious that this was the intention: just "oh, whoops, accumulated a little too much, now I can't quite make it up the hill."
Whoa, that looks really similar to our game!
.. but unfortunately the fps was so low (maybe 1-2) that it was completely unplayable on my 2013 macbook pro (windowed 1024x768, fastest quality setting), even in the menu.
Cool game! I completed all the levels! The only things that are bad with this game is that it needs more levels and more fps rate.
I liked this very much! Looks great, I love the art style and the music that sounded very xmas-y, and it was very fun and a nice concept. And good use of the themes
The camera sometimes turned too fast and I think the DOF was a bit too much, but great game anyway
I really like that the snowball has sticks, grass and dirt in it, just like the real ones, instead of the artificial looking perfect white spheres.
I also had FPS issues even with lowest settings. The gameplay itself was ok, nothing special, but nicely implemented.
