I would have liked if there was some obstacles to avoid while rolling down. Maybe add some power ups if you plan to take development further. There's potential :)

I don't understand the game. My score was increasing even if I didn't play, and I didn't see any difference when I was playing ... Maybe a less of feedbacks ...

Interesting idea for the theme, it would be cool to see some obstacles or something if you developed it further! Note: after the snowball gets big enough to fill the screen there wasn't much I could do.

Good job!

Its a good idea, but my snow ball gets really big, i cannot see anything, also power-ups would be nice.

Not understanding this game very well. If I don't press anything I still keep going? And the snowball is bigger than the screen?

Will play again if there's something I've missed :p

@Warboys You arent missing anything the controls are W and D. I was planning to add some obstacles but I lost my drive on the last day. Also I attempted to fix the snowball scaling issue but couldnt find an ideal value that worked

Your idea is awesome! So sorry to know you lost data on the final run =/ This game could have been even better.

But you had an great approach on the theme. I wish I had this creativity.

It's a nice game to continue working on it =)

This suffers from the same problem as so many other titles here. It's not a game, player involvement is unnecessary. It's not even that funny...It could've been a nice idea for a game though, it's sad that it ended up as a simple gimmick.

I'm not sure what i'm supposed to do. my score goes up if move or dont move, i just get larger. theres no goal.

Confusing, when the ball is so big I don't see the track!

It's a bit broken that I can just jump off the side of the level and win...

Interesting idea. I included it in my Ludum Dare 34 compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) https://youtu.be/kf34--PMGMs
