Cute and fun but also very simple. Is there any way to clear a board (melt all the ice)? I tried a bunch but couldn't see how a game could last more than a minute or two because it seems inevitable that you will hit your trail and fall in the water, but maybe I a missing something.

Nice arcade feel! I think the inertia is a bit too much though as I quickly felt that I was not in controle of my character.
The straightforward core mechanic along with random hazard really makes me fell like ancient Atari games. Could be a nice starting point for mobile game using touchscreen!
This is a nice quick arcade game! The sound volumes are a bit unbalanced, but otherwise it's all good. The snowballs are annoying, but that's what they're supposed to be. ;-) It's nice that they force you to improvise.
Minimalistic, very cute, and enjoyable! The trees overlap the main character when jumping, and it would be nice to restart the game by pressing space (the jump key) instead of switching to mouse and back. Nice work!
I know, right? Gotta credit 3xBlast the original artist for the ear worm: https://opengameart.org/content/happy-synths-loop-with-slight-christmas-feeling
Plays kinda like snake mixed with a bullet hell and a drift racing game, Nice!
