I tried several times to get to the end of this, but I couldn't, not because it was a bad game (not in the least!), but that it was truly, undeniably -difficult-. No fake difficulty either, actual difficulty! This is a good thing! :D It means your game is really good at being a game, as it requires skill and articulation to get a reward.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The art was really cute, the music was really cute -- the gameplay was, too! If there weren't so many difficult barriers rolling up snowmen I might actually find it relaxing, but I apparently don't do very well with these sorts of mechanics so I got frustrated with my constant failure to build nice snowmens. :)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Fantastic basis to build a larger game off of, though. You could do so much with it -- more levels, hardcore mode, power ups, a precious, precious &quot;undo&quot; button for those of us who are not &quot;snowman-tically inclined&quot;. Simple. Good. Challenging. Great work! :)"},{"author_name":"mathmadlen","author_uid":"21781","time":"Dec 25, 2014 @ 3:31am","epoch":1419477960,"text":"Cute .)
