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?\r\n\r\nThis game was created at the Frankfurt Real World Gathering, hosted at LAB75.\r\n\r\nControl the wind using the mouse, collect necessary items, and build your snowman by rolling your snowball into the goal area.\r\n\r\nOnce 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.\r\n\r\nPress \"escape\" to return to the menu.\r\n\r\nCAN YOU MAKE A \"PERFECT\" snowman?\r\n\r\n-------------------------------------------\r\nAll coding done by me (Abregado @BinaryGambit)\r\nAll graphics done by Claudiace (@Cal_Cla)\r\n-------------------------------------------\r\n\r\nKnown Bugs:\r\nSometimes when the game loads or resets it will hang for a few seconds. Don't worry it will come back.\r\nSometimes the items will get placed under the obstacles.. sorry!\r\n\r\nSpecial thanks to LAB75 for hosting the event\r\n\r\nOther LAB75 Event games include:\r\nLethalMaze\r\nSnamwons Revenge\r\nA Carrot Game\r\n","title":"The Icing on the Cake"}
