So good! I love the scenes you put together with the palette limitations. Very atmospheric. Gameplay was super enjoyable. Great depth with easy to understand mechanics, that logically fit the theme and visual narrative of being a snowball. It feels like there’s even more level concepts to explore. It’s a shame there wasn’t time for more of that content.

Nice touches with the parallax and the music’s volume being dependent on player velocity. The music was cool, although it felt slightly out of place in my opinion. It goes hard, which fits well when you’re big and going fast. But when moving at middle speeds, it coming out of nowhere, and then going away.. seemed a little awkward to me at least.

Overall, good solid work that was fun to play, easy to understand, and pretty to look at.

I really loved the idea behind this. Having the music ramp up as the snowball grows, speeds up, and jumps was very exciting.  The backgrounds and levels were well done but may have had a little too much detail.  Overall it was a fun experience and I look forward to more!

Everything looks great at first, but when the speed increases it becomes a mess. Maybe a little less screen shaking would help.

Also, the music is very repetitive, but it's progression with the speed is cool, it really makes the game more exciting.

The gameplay is very cool, but suffers a lot from the visuals.
Overall, great job!

Very fun gameplay. Love the growing and shrinking, as well as the feeling of the jump. The art is also awesome.

Great gameplay! Lovin' that music progression which makes it exciting and thrilling. Good job!

Nice game! I love that music volume is proportional to ball velocity! Interesting sonic feel. It's a bit difficult to find the way sometimes, but the game is solid. Nice job!

Pretty nice game I would say, the background music also increases in volume when the snowballs speed increases!

pretty cool game. the concept of growing and shrinking a snow ball was pretty unique and  the art was great just wished there was music or sfx

Hey, did you try going faster?

Seriously tho, yes, I’d like to add sound effects in the future…

But for now, it’s music only, that’s all we had time for, sorry!

Cool game! I hope to see polished version on Steam (or other platforms) and advice you to publish mobile build.

Hmm a mobile build sound like a cool idea…

If I can figure out how to make it work for it, and I have time, you bet I will!

Thats a pretty cool game !
