Very cool take on the theme! I liked the controls art and music! The simple ball with a trail worked really nicely.
Good game could be better if we could adjust the volume because it is too loud but anyway its a great endless runner really interesting design love it!
also if you have time could you check my game feedbacks are welcome :)

This is a super addictive and fun game! I also like the art and music quite a bit.
You can tell this game is going to be fun as soon as the music starts & once you start smashing thing you just don't want it to stop. Would love to see it with more time & more things to smash.
What if "Katamari" and "Ski Free" had a baby with some funky electro-funk music. Love it!
Could use an audio slider, though.
Great game.
One of the best uses of particle system I saw. Also, love the indication you get of what you can and can't roll over.
I wanted the snowball to move faster, felt like I was never in danger, even when I got big.
I expected the difficulty to increase because of the size - diifficult to dodge things, but since I got big I just rolled over everything. More solid rock or big houses will fix that, as well as adding more speed.
Great graphics too.
Well done!
I absolutely love this game, the art style is amazing, the trail that follows behind the ball is mesmerizing, I could play forever. Tons of fun to chain together big combos and see the size of the ball increase, very well done! Hope you can play my game too! :)
I agree this would go great on mobile! Overall this game was great, simplistic and fun. I would kind of like a mode without a timer though since I was having a ton of fun. Another thing I noticed was every so often everything would flash on screen a green or red, I understand why the effect is being used but I think it looks just a bit odd and there might be better ways to show a combo is ending.
Overall though, amazing game, 5 stars!
Hey nice work! That would be great on mobile! I wish the ball was faster though!
Please rate mine if you have time:

I love the music and visuals. The gameplay is overall pretty fun and relaxing, but I wish it had a bit more difficulty. Overall a good jam game. Well done.
Great game concept and awesome music. Good job, mate! Also, it has great controls, nice art and excellent UI
Damn the music is good! Easy to control and minimal instructions required! Loved it! It fits the theme greatly!
Really clean game! Felt really good to play and the music was great! It would be even better if you also went faster the more you grew, making it a bit more difficult. Still, super polished and clean looking!
Managed to become quite a chonker
This is honestly just awesome. This is such a fully realized game that I wouldn't be surprised if someone told me that this wasn't a Game Jam game.
The gameplay is simple yet challenging and deep. The pixelart is beautiful, coherent and easily understandable when playable, and the added details like the debris in your snowball and the particles enhance the look even further. The music is wonderful, and I love how the theme during gameplay builds onto the menu theme. I also like how the game communicates what you can actually destroy and what not. You really thought of everything here, and it shows. All these aspects really form into a really tight, enjoyable package.
This is exactly one of the gems I hoped to find in this Game Jam, I really hope you crack the 20 votings. Keep up the great work!
Incredibly fun game and very polished. You truly have something here! I really liked the way the snowball grows over time, reminds me of a clay-style mobile game from back in the day.
Dude your game is just amazing! The art is super clean and polished, and the game is very fun and entertaining! This is actually one of my favourites yet. I would suggest an abbility that makes you go faster for x ammount of time (I'm not a fan of going at the same speed all the time) or maybe another that lets you destroy everything for a while, that would be super satisfying! Congratulations on your work, nicely done :)
Cool art, fun and addictive game, good job!
Just one question what file type is that for windows or mac
because im mac
It's windows. I can make a experimental mac build for you, but don't have any computer to test it...
well its up to you
Hey, did you ever make a version for Mac? I can get to my PC later today, but on a Mac now. Either way, game looks awesome and I look forward to playing it!
I found out that I also need Mac to compile Mac version. And I am a bit scared of making a web version without proper optimalisation. I will inform you if i manage to make any web port
Okay, no problem! I’ll check it out when I can get to my PC.
