I think I would have liked having to build the snowman in order from the correct parts more and maybe using the temp to cause different parts to spawn (warmer for coal for example)."},{"author_name":"mrexcessive","author_uid":"20788","time":"Dec 14, 2014 @ 9:46am","epoch":1418550060,"text":"Hi there.

(Use your finger to grab falling parts, yeah, I know, I'm sorry, it's difficult on a small screen, but it was initially build for windows only, the Android and HTML were just an after thought)\r\n\r\nI also compiled into HTML5 and I've tested it on the following browsers. * Please note, original was indended for Windows users, HTML5 and Android are for users who don't use Windows, so there are a few more bugs.\r\n\r\nSeaMonkey 2.31 - Works if you actually click on the 'Hit S to Start'  with your mouse\r\nFirefox 34.0 - I couldn't get it to work (it may be my configuration, try your FF)\r\nPalemoon Version: 25.1.0 (x64)  - Works\r\nWyzo v3.6.4.1 - Doesn't work\r\nInternet Explorer V11.0.9600.17416 - Works\r\nGoogle Chrome Version 39.0.2171.71 m - Works\r\nOpera Version 26.0.1656.32 - Doesn't work\r\n\r\nand Yeah, I do have that many browsers on my system.\r\n\r\nPlease try you version of any browser you have, it may be my configuration and that is why it doesn't work for me on some of them.\r\n\r\nThere is a tune in the game, but it's turned off by default, to give people the choice of listening or not.\r\n\r\nBasic rules of the game.\r\n\r\nThere are 8 boxes at the bottom of the screen, and falling from the left and right you have parts of a snowman, two snowballs, hat, coal and a carrot. The idea being you catch it, and drag it down to the box, as you do, a piece appears in the box, get all the pieces the snowman starts to dance, click it, you'll get points.\r\n\r\nYou don't have to literally drag the next piece needed to build it, just click and drag anyone (would have been too hard the other way)\r\n\r\nYou'll see a Furnace Fahrenheit value, temperature and snow\/ice don't mix, keep this value low by dumping a caught snowball in the chute to the right. Keeping it low means you'll get a bigger score when you click on the snowman.\r\n\r\nShould this temperature reach 30F it's game over.\r\n\r\nHope you like it, feedback would be appreciated (I know there are a few little bugs, but I didn't have the time to fully iron them out, the game itself is playable, and I hope you like the background, it's actually my backgarden).","title":"Build A Snowman"}
