But until proven otherwise I am claiming the high score!

Thanks! The speed boosts actually do make the character a little bit faster and compound over time but the stuff does fall faster the longer you survive and drop more frequently. I definitely could have made that more obvious but I had come close to the deadline so I didn't have time to make it more clear. As for the snowballs, that was also a bug I knew about but didn't have time to fix, unfortunately. Glad you enjoyed it!
