Not a bad little concept. Simple game but it was fun crushing the bugs or people or whatever they are! I wish for some more objective though, like points or a timer or whatnot.

Yay, I got python running (with a little help from X-0ut and Jolle). First thought was of how low the framerate was - it's like 10 fps. It's still playable though, and there's a little bit of fun in chasing those critters around while they desperately try to avoid you. It's not particularly hard though, you'll get them eventually and when you do it's all over. Graphics were obviously simple but rather stylish, so above-average score there. The idea is also a bit more original than the other Katamari spinoff.
I don't have Pygame installed, woun't bother to download on my modem either.
I liked the way that the ball and the snowmen moved. The animation flickered though. Maybe you need to use double buffering?
A bit short. Was the game supposed to just exit when I had squashed all the bugs ? It's a nice effect that they calm down if I stop, so that I can slowly sneak up on them .. They always see me and run away before I get to squash them by stealth, though. Maybe if that was changed, a timer could also be added, and you could try to squash all of them in the least amount of time ? Then you could choose between different strategies .. Squash them by bouncing around at light speed, or sneak up on them from behind and.. splat. =)
It's Katamari and it doesn't even have the "some things you bump into before you're big enough to pick them up" aspect. I couldn't enjoy it for very long.
Not really a game here, I'm afraid. In addition to there being no challenge, it quit after 30 seconds of gameplay with the word "DONE". I did like the way the snowmen avoided both the snowball and each other.
Has a pretty bad framerate for having so simple graphics. The game is lacking a bit also, it's not really fun.. could have need some more gameplay element perhaps, I dunno.
Sound= Fun particle movements. A bit weak on the theme compliance.
Roll the snowball around to smash snowmen, that's about all there is to the gameplay. Plays very similar to katamari, but this time with arrow keys. There is just a single level and then it ends.
This made me laugh at first, it looks like flies buzzing around. I was dissapointed 20 seconds later when I had completed the game though, more stages would have really helped. Sort of like Pong on Asteroids, except you must not avoid the asteroids.
Couldn't play, don't know how to run .py games.
