An absolutely wonderful take on the theme, and a fun game too! All around, the music, the art, it's great!

A very cute pico 8 game. Very smooth gameplay and nice physics, and a lovely parallax effect for the background. Well done !

A pretty enjoying game. At first it felt like the ball bounced randomly too often, but it takes some time to master the speed and jumps, then it gets more and more rewarding to finish a level by doing exactly what you had planned. Makes you wish for more levels! My favourite on was “long short”.
Otherwise, I think the music is nice but it could have been happier. And yay for the extended PICO-8 palette!

Woa spot on on the theme and you did great with the physics, fun to play and easy to understand, with some challenge but never impossible. Graphism makes me wants to roll myself in a pixelated snow :D

Impressive technology, very nice graphics and pretty cool music. I'd maybe wish for more challenge, I didn't die once. Level design was good, it never felt overdone.

Final Score: 847 (Is it a good score ? I don't know)
Rolling in the snow is sooooo satisfying, I would love a level when you just roll and make loopings without any obstacles :D
I enjoyed all the Puzzles, and particulary the one with the big big snowball!
Graphics and music are great as well, and I love the color palette :)

The game is fun and everythin fits really well together ! The gameplay was sometimes a little bit frustrating (the ball seemed to jump weirdly but maybe i'm juste not used to how snowballs jump ). I had fun rolling around and collecting snow. Great job !

Another game under pico8? Well done. Your game is really addictive and I want to improve my score which is now 798. I am always very surprised by the way you manage the theme. Many members do simply a game, but you respect always rules which imposes us something about a chosen theme. The main gameplay is easy to learn and mechanic works well as expected. Some levels are clever and I like the chiptune music. It could become a full interesting game with more features. One of my favorite entries for this 45th LudumDare session. Bravo et merci ++

Wow, well done! Innovative approach to the theme and fun gameplay. Though, the snowball can be a bit bouncy at times. My final score was 726.

I enjoyed rolling up snowballs and avoiding the fire. It sort of reminded me of Katamari Damacy. I finished with 711 points.

Ok, loved this.

Innovative mechanics, nice nostalgic graphics and sounds, smooth controls and a wise take on the theme.

My complain is that i need more 90 levels so i can keep playing the whole day.

Outstanding job!

I adore this! awesome use of the theme in that 'start with nothing' applies to both the size of your snowball and your moment, over and over again. Wonderful art and sound, and even wonderful-er level designs! Thanks :D
