With more polish, I could easily see this in a more complicated 48 hour game jam. The idea is cute, the description made me laugh, and it's got good bones to build on top of.

One minor visual tweak: the color of the mountains and the color of the background are very similar, so I was confused at first when I rolled off the edge. Making them more distinct somehow (adding background, or changing the mountain color, or something) would make the visual clarity better.

Fun game! 🔥

Thank you! Yes you're right about the background color, I think its exacerbated by the fact that if you fall of the edge it doesnt "kill" or reset you in any way, the game could do with more of a fail state because at the moment the only penalty is taking longer to complete it.

Great game, it was fun to play and easy to understand what to do. An improvement would be making the track a bit more long/complex but for the 3 hours its a solid entry. Good job :D

Wow, what a fantastic idea for a game! You had me at snowmen with flamethrowers, even if they are a pain to stay away from! What a unique game; I love it!

Really like the gameplay, and the seamless scaling, I didn't even notice before I was a big ball! Well communicated goal from the start, and a cozy ending.

Thank you so much! I'm very happy with how it turned out, as its the first game project i've done in a few months.

Heh, this one’s cute! I’m not sure why a bunch of snowmen try to kill me, but I’ll roll with it (literally).

Rolling around the snow to grow got a little dull after a while, but I really like the concept and I could totally see a puzzle platformer using these mechanics. Well done!

Thanks! Yes in hindsight i wish i had made the map bigger and more of a track rather than just a little arena, because i don't think it would have taken very long and it would have given the game a bit more purpose.
