Nice game! I loved the interpretation of the theme and the fact that expanding is required to survive, but also becomes a problem if you expand too much! Nice catchy music scores too (thought it's not clear from the game and descriptions/comments which elements were assets and which were created by you).

A couple of suggestions if you plan on expanding the game:

  1. Obviously, add a purpose to the coins you collect, since right now they don't serve any purpose, they don't even influence your score for the leaderboards: maybe add a shop for some snowball customizations and cosmetics, music customizations, powerups? consumables to make your runs easier, ecc... 
  2. Adjust the size of UI elements based on the game window size (Use Screen.width and Screen.height in Unity to get those): in the main menu, on small windows, buttons and other UI elements like the logo overlap;
  3. Make sure you make obstacles appear NOT in fixed rows and locations on the screen, but also randomly, and at the borders of the area in which your snowball can roll: if you place your snowball on the far left or far right in fact, you can basically avoid all obstacles in front of you because none spawn in those positions;
  4. I'd suggest you to add ramps in which your snowball can jump and avoid obstacles in the air, which may be cool, and maybe add more obstacles variety, like trees or similar

Fun arcade game overall, needs some polish on the graphics and some variety in gameplay, but the main elements for a fun game are already there, good job :D

Wow, I just loved your comment and feel that there is someone who is completely analyzing the game and problems. Thanks for this great feedback. It will really help me to become a good game developer.

Once I'd figured out that you had to balance the size of your ball and collecting coins then it made more sense! I collected too many balls and couldn't see anything on the screen! Thought the concept was great & really well put together for a week. Thank you so much for participating!

Got it to  second place. The potential is there, it feels like you have a choice between collecting coins and increasing the ball, but right now there's nowhere to spend the money. The game is worth working on.

The camera is a little bit odd

Thanks for the feedback. I will try to improve the camera's mechanics.

Nicely made endless runner. 

It does get difficulty to see anything quite quickly, as the snowball obscures most of the screen.

I found it a bit tough to see where you are going if you grow too big and that the coins could have a use like to purchase upgrades. Other than that, its a pretty solid game. Please rate mine if you have the chance to!
