Cool interpretation of the theme!

Submitted

this game idea is awesome!!! love this game feeling so well,but where are some bugs or gap between sprites,,wish you can make this game a completed version,dont waste such a good idea 

Submitted

super nice idea and cover page!

Submitted

Fun game, to bad I soft locked with the randomly generated levels though.  Other words it's a cool concept, and I think with a little more polish and some contrast it can be a fun arcade style game!!
Streamed today!!

Quite a fun game. Unfortunately, I often couldn't see where I was going to land and therefore died...

Submitted

Pretty fun! A little bit of RNGesus carried me along

Submitted

Good potential for a flash-game like experience! It handles alright, but as it is it kind of feels like you're at the whims of RNG and don't have much decision making despite the jump and dash buttons. My strategy was mostly just to never jump or dash, except for jumping over pits and obvious clumps of obstacles stacked on top of eachother (usually it was just better to take the hits and built up snow from the ground instead of jump over and give up the snow buildup).

Submitted

Really fun game a bit difficult though (maybe I'm just bad at it). Great job very enjoyable game

Submitted

It's fun, and I think it's a neat idea! A ton of obstacles seemed too high to even jump over, though, and I'm not sure what you're supposed to do about those

Main theme is really cool. Definitely needs a fade in for the samples you are using. there is a lot clicking in the mix. Overall, its a cool game! nice work.

Developer

That's a great idea will definitely do that!

Very fun ideia, but sometimes there are too much obstacles that you can't do anything about it.

Developer

I was planning on adding a wing power up that you would get and activate in such situations but didn't get to, also the obstacles are not balanced at all. Thanks for your comment!

fun game, the boost seems kinda hard to use tho since you just run into a couple of trees most of the times. 

Developer(+1)

Thanks for you comment, I'll definitely take it into consideration when expanding the game!

I really enjoyed the concept, especially the fact that you had to balance scoring points with staying alive. The random levels were cool too.

Developer

Thank you so much, I'm happy you enjoyed the game!

Graphics are decent, all though the rand generator can lead to the game getting stuck and freaking out. Feel like it's hard to expand your snowball, and don't see the point. Nice concept though, wish you luck!

Developer

Thanks for your comment. The idea was you expand and get power ups like double points and dash easily, on the other hand hitting objects would destroy them and cause you to scale down a bit. Sadly I wasn't experienced enough to implement the visuals as I imagined them and the game is quite lacking. I'm hoping to expand on it later on.

gameplay is very smooth and the art is very interesting, especially the icons. great job!

Developer

Thank you so much for your comment. I'm really glad you enjoyed it specially since I'm still playing your game lol

Submitted(+1)

Like the look of the game

Developer(+1)

Glad you enjoyed it. My friends helped me find some assets and designed a bit of it themselves, the rest is programmer art!

Submitted(+1)

Pretty nice execution! I think really fits to the theme, but is a little too hard.

Developer

Definitely a bit too hard. My idea was you have to balance between rolling on getting more score and not dying but this is a little frustrating. Will work on it after the jam. Thanks for you comment!

Submitted(+1)

It's a little difficult to not be constantly hit by trees which leads to a short run but otherwise good!

Developer(+1)

I genuinely forgot about balancing the game, specially since i was coding like crazy, learning stuff left and right and putting out so many fires. Its definitely a bit too hard and sometimes unfair. Will try to improve it after the jam. I'm happy you enjoyed it.
