The Icing on the Cake by Binary Gambit
CONCEPT: I wanted to try out an idea about "Subjective Scoring". Basically you decide what your score is, and if you think you can do "better" keep playing. Can you build, in your opinion, the "perfect" snowman?
This game was created at the Frankfurt Real World Gathering, hosted at LAB75.
Control the wind using the mouse, collect necessary items, and build your snowman by rolling your snowball into the goal area.
Once you have made a snowman, drop a 4th ball into the goal area to reset the game. If you get stuck you can press 'r' to reset the game.
Press "escape" to return to the menu.
CAN YOU MAKE A "PERFECT" snowman?

All coding done by me (Abregado @BinaryGambit)
All graphics done by Claudiace (@Cal_Cla)

Known Bugs:
Sometimes when the game loads or resets it will hang for a few seconds. Don't worry it will come back.
Sometimes the items will get placed under the obstacles.. sorry!

Very pretty, and it's fun to roll the ball around. Once one of the pieces spawned in the tree so I couldn't get it :(

The idea of wind creating a snowman is weird, just imagine you wake up after a winter blizzard and finding out that the world is covered with snowman :) The game is well executed and looks nice, but I wish it had more of a game feel to it. Having a subjective scoring mechanism didn't work for me.

I liked the graphical atmosphere you've made. Those snowalkes flying through your screen, that artstyle.

Thanks for all the comments. I do wish that I had time to add sound effects. Sorry to hear the subjective scoring didn't work for everyone (probably should have expected that)

Sweet! I like the tail and the particles make it much clearer about the direction of the wind! ^___^

Really good game design exploration. The game is interesting and would deserve some additional exploration. Just a little music would do so much for the mood.
