Alas, I'm not very good at doing things quickly yet... and am still learning design tricks for scripting objects, some mistakes made coordinating the actors harder than it should have been. My original plan was more complex, but I decided finishing something was my top priority :P
But if you like the concept, I was inspired by this guy: http://www.eyezmaze.com/
I can sympathize. Was still learning how to cross-compile. Regardless, there is a Windows build now.
You may wish to opt-in to judging categories if you want to be rated.
But general thoughts- game was a very workable mechanic (Arcade games in general seem to fit the theme well), though I could not find a solution for the second flaming snowball level.
Some irritants:
- once or twice I had a snowball spawn in the middle of my character while I was passing its spawn point next to the goal.
- as another commenter mentioned, the difficulty increases after your first attempt at a level; it doesn't get impossible, but it would seem to make sense to either reset the snowballs on death or have the snowballs start in the equilibrium pattern.
Particle effects were nice, and the snowfall gave a nice feeling of upward motion.
Also, many thanks for a Linux version.
In retrospect this needed more playtesting time, but some ROT13-encoded hints of the main stuck points I've heard about:

Fun concept; I think I sometimes hit invisible objects on the hidden walls, though.
