This is really great! Good art and very cute animations! Loving the Katamari inspiration as well. I found it quite funny, and the leaving the screen text is quite meta. Good job!

Fun game! I like the part where the fellow covers his eyes, really good attention to detail. You managed to fit both snowman and one screen theme in the same game, haha!

Really charming graphics mixed with fun gameplay make for an enjoyable destruction spree through the neighborhood :D I like the little details like the track that you leave behind. Great job, thank your for making this!

Hahaha, the text when you go off screen "Sorry, the entire game is on one screen" made me laugh so much XD.
Cute idea really well executed with charming graphics, great job :D.

Is it okay that I can go off scree- oh, nevermind. It's fun and nice-looking, too bad it's so short.

Love it! The ball looks very 3Dish, pretty cool. It even gets harder to control in the end. Good job!

Ah I love this, simple but effective idea. It all fits together really nicely and it's satisfying to move about. High scores from me!

Pretty cool game! I miss a score system or something like that to compare with my friends, but still the idea is great and very well executed. Congrats!

Really fun game. It's hard, but that's also a part of why it's fun. Nice work!

Woo, this was great! I had some trouble judging the sizes of the different objects, and having to restart every time was quite annoying, but I still loved it!

Awesome Game! "Try to collect all the snow"? Ouch :)

I love the attention to detail in this. It looks really good and is fun to play, but I just couldn't clear the entire area :(

Had a lot of fun playing this one! I love how progressively harder it becomes to control the snowball as it gets bigger. And very satisfying when you can finally pick up the larger objects!

I want to see a version that is not stuck with one screen ;)

Really fun! Your artwork is perfect (I love those people around the snowman). Of course the first thing I did was run off the screen...and you had something for that. Well done! ☃

Great fun, and excellent snow effect.

lol it's fun when the ball get's very big, but i lack of objective more than crush everything. I like the idea and the concept :D maybe starting in a place where you have to learn how to manipulate the ball could be more fun for the slow begining. :)

A very sweet little game! The simplicity of the mechanics makes it easy to play but difficult to master, and the movement is just spot on - it feels great to play. Definitely one of my favourites so far!

Oh yeah! We didn't get snow here yet but this definitly gave me a lot of fun and pleasant anticipation. It also is quite funny you can leave the screen when the whole setup wants to :D Made me laugh hard, thanks

Funny game, it's like Katamari Damacy but with snowball. It's hilarious to just ram and get everything stuck on the snowball. Wish the turning was little faster though, when the ball is very big it gets very difficult to make it turn fast enough.

"Sorry the entire game is on one screen." Hahaha you got me => +Humor +Theme. The gameplay himself is pretty neat as well! I thought you would made me explode on house but I actually swallowed them ^^ Very unique, very well made, just miss audio.

Awesome game! The balls of snow somehow looks amazing, as does the rest of the game. I love the little details like covering up the face when things get close. Really good entry!

This is a really nice implementation of Katamari in 2D. The controls and art really capture the motion of walking on the ball -- great work!

I love that the larger you get, the more out of control you get. That, and the goal of getting every object on the screen, kept me playing for longer than I thought I would! The little touches like how the civilians get sucked into the snowball were great. I had a lot of fun with this one!

Wow, a micro-katatmari. Nice idea and good graphics. Surprisingly tricky. I like it.
