Simply funny (96 secounds)!

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).

Thank you for your feedback and good ideas, yeah it would have been good to have the option to have bigger snow balls so that there would be a choice - lots of quick small ones or fewer bigger ones. Good thinking.

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.

I got the music from freesounds and yeah it was a 1am decision when usually I would spend a very long time picking something. Thanks for playing. I remember your great construction game from an early jam with the crane and such good physics.

Oh thanks! Brick City was our first ever Gamejam submission. We had a lot more time to create that one... :D

This was different. Good job!

The theme is very bad!

Developer

Oh well. I liked it though.

Very unique great job

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 😄

Developer(+1)

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!

Submitted(+1)

Oh that's a cool way of looking at it, I also 100% understand the whole 1am thing 🤣👍
