I like the sounds, but sometimes feel too tall and maybe more layouts would've been fun. I like that it was a new idea. Cool game the rolling dice also looks nice.

Oh I wish we could do this irl... Cool game! (literally :D )

This is exactly how controlling a snowman made of dice should feel like. Great snowy atmosphere and love the way everything moves. A real joy to play.

That's a cool idea, once I understood the gameplay I had so much fun, it got very exciting at the end. I managed to get a score of 486.

I definitely struggled with the rolling mechanic.  I suppose in a completed game, it would be necessary to introduce each of the scoring conditions one at a time or something so a player could get used to them

Awesome idea that fits the jam’s theme very well! Made me smile! Good job!

This is a neat little game! Always happy to see a game themed around a snowman ☃️

The concept is pretty interesting. I like that there is some nuance to stacking where having a bigger stack means you have more potential to match a snowglobe die, but also means you have to think more about rotating your dice. The way the dice roll as you move is also super cute, really nice touch there.

A few criticisms I could give: firstly, the game could use a little bit more variety in the level layout and gameplay elements. It starts out a bit slow paced and from there, much of the game just consists of going to the next globe and making sure your bottom die is either a match or a 7. A few more obstacles or other elements to incentivize you to make more decisions in the moment would have improved the game overall. Aside from that, I think the system to determine a match or 7 didn't work for me a few times, as at least a couple times I had a matching number at the bottom of my stack and the globe just added the die to my stack. It may be that I was just misunderstanding something there, so that isn't factoring into my rating much.

All and all pretty cool game!

Super cute game, I loved the design of the little cactus dice guy and the way the individual dice rolled when he moved. Unique concept and great execution all around :D

Enjoyed the music. Didn't find rolling mechanic fun.
