The snowball super power is pretty neat. It seems to me that getting hit is an unavoidable penalty at a certain size. I like the vibe that the simple low-res visuals with the music makes.
I really liked the music, I also liked the movement, it felt good. Nice little game!
so cool! love the art style (i made very similar idea on 2d you welcome to check it out!)
A really neat game! The movements are fluid, and I found the idea of using the size of the ball as a health bar as well particularly clever
very fun and simple in the good way :D style is also super cute, i love low poly+pixel art aesthetics :3
This is not the first game about a giant snowball that’s rolling, and for sure it won’t be the last one.
Good game.
Really fun test of skill! I like having to decide between staying fast but easy to die or slow but likely to bump into things.
Very neat and innovative implementation of the theme, really enjoyed playing. Feels super-polished for a 48-hr entry too, great job!
This is my favourite entry so far. Trying to optimise for speed was so entertaining in a way I can't accurately described. Trying to jump frame-perfect to reduce friction, then going translucent when you pick up enough snowballs lets you go mach 5 by jumping. think I hit the 2km mark in about 2 minutes, I wish there were an inbuilt timer.
I'm sorry, I really tried to reach 2000m to got the surprise but couldn’t get further than 1275m.
After 1000m, it feels almost impossible to progress further due to the abundance of snowmen. I tried to stay small to avoid them. But then I had to pick up snowballs, which made me bigger wich makes it almost impossible to avoid them.
The game looks really good and the music is entertaining. It really kept me going. Plus, bunny hopping with a big snowball feels great.
It would be helpful to know when the invincibility is going to disappear. And I encountered a bug where the ground just disappeared under me.
Good job on the game! It is fun.
I liked the sounds and feel of the game, pretty hard to pull of a good game feel in a 3d jam game, a 48 hour one no less. Good job! I made it about 1000 meters. I did notice that sometimes the snowmen are in spots that make it almost impossible to avoid them.
Nice art! I only got to 712 meters tho :c If you made it infinite, you could add a highscore board or something! Cool game! I’d see myself playing this in transit to school!
