Great game! I loved the gameplay and the various features. The shrinking and growing snowman was a great mechanic. Also the name is great!

Developer

I am glad the shrink mechanic portrayed health well, it didn't feel right for a while had to add the particles and then it made sense.

Got 462! Great job. I think this is a very well implemented runner. Worked great in my browser. I loved how the fireballs made you smaller and picking up snowballs seemed to make you bigger. I liked the art and the music. I was glad that hitting the logs didn't end the game. Made the giant falling snowball feel impactful!

The title of the game is great too!

I am glad you liked the snow bomb.  We were hoping to implement a few more threats like it but ran out of time.

Cool runner game, would go for a little bit of a smoother snow, at least running it on the browser it looked kinda deep fried. The music and gameplay are really nice.

Developer

Yes sadly webgl tends to deep fry graphics made for GLES3.  The only solution I could find was to make a second set of textures for webgl, which I didn't have time to do in 1 week.  The choice was let people play with the deep fried graphics, or have no webgl build and have few people ever play.

Game is still great! Good job.

I would play this on mobile

Developer

There is a possibility of that in the near future.

I loved this one. Simple mechanics, but unified theme that really emphasizing "fragile".

Thank you for taking the time to play.
