Very simple but original game! I feel like rolling snowballs should have been done with just a single left click, because sometimes throwing snowballs wouldn't work because the game thought I was going to double click (you could've even made it so the longer you held it the bigger the snowball would get!) The music got annoying quickly, however I get what you were going for with it, since the short loop matched with every second increment. You could've found a full song that instead had either its BPM or a single percussion instrument in it match the seconds instead.
(I also found a glitch where if you roll multiple snowballs, throwing one causes all the others to go in the same direction instead of staying put).
Haha! I like this take on the jam theme. A lot of people went with two-button controls so it's good to see something a little more original. I felt as though the gameplay could have been refined somewhat: I found that clicking to drag/throw a snowball would often be interpreted as the first click of a double-click, making it hard to predict when snowballs would actually appear on screen (and sometimes wasting time throwing them). Still, the basic game's there and on the whole I think it works well.
I got 199 seconds just by spam-destroying my mouse button. Also the "music" got to be annoying. I wonder if people know about royalty free music sites like Pixabay? I've found surprisingly good tunes for main menu music there.
Simple but fun and unique! I really enjoyed it, though it did take a little getting used too since a lot of the snowballs just kept going through the snowman and not helping him at all. Eventually I just started rapid clicking and dragging down right above him and that worked as long as I kept going 😄
Thank you! Yeah it was not long before I finished that the snowballs were a problem with going right past the snowman, they definitely should not have done that. Although it kind of made it more realistic in a way with some snowballs missing and going in front. But at the time, about 1am, it was let's just get this thing done!
