Snowman is drunk and is chasing your mouse! He is also dumb and can't see obstacles ahead, guide him through them.

Grey: Slow Snowman
White: Very Fast Snowman

Go counter-clockwise and survive for as long as possible!

Have fun! :D

Alcoholic snowman? Now, that's a new one :) Pretty nice game for 48 hours! For the post-comp version, you might want to add in a pop-up that says 'Game Over! Your Score: xx', or something like that.

That's odd, I keep dying even though I avoided the obstacles. How come? Doesn't seem to follow the mouse accurately. Or is it just my browser?

Nice music! And funny stick tutorial! I miss more goals or enemies, but it is great. Keep it up!

Cool game, but why is every single game in here is about snowmans.
Why is that.

GO COUNTER-CLOCKWISE should be written in god damn big letters. I didn't really enjoy it. It seems most of your effortweas put into making a pretty title screen.

@t4u haha okay, Ill change it to big letters. Menus didnt take more than 2 hours to do.

21 points! Wow, the little snowman gains some serious speed!
This is a nice little game, good controls and clear game play (though at the beginning you could box us in so we have to go counter-clockwise, that would help). With music and everything, too! Well done!

Love the tutorial screen! Lack of any indication on how to control the game stumped me at first, Once I figured that out I found it to be a fun challenging game.

It is really fun, did not get the fact that it should not be touching the mouse at first! I looove the tutorial screen! And a good game overall, with a cool soundtrack too!

Really hard game! But I love the humor and the tutorial, and the concept is interesting! Congrats! :)

I still wish you had utilized your 3:2 screen dimensions to make an oval track. It might not seem like it, but I believe it would have made for even better gameplay. You would have had two types of navigation areas to play through.

The music is neat. What program did you make it with?

Used a lot but mainly magix music maker. I wish I had that idea when I made the game, oval would be nice. :D

It took me a while to figure out what the goal was, but I eventually got a score of 23 :D Once you figure the game out, it's actually really fun to just circle around and around, trying to keep up momentum and not hit anything.

Hi there. Great game, could maybe bit slightly more generous with death... have a rapidly depleting health bar ? instead of zap... but hey Really good fun... Got him doing some pretty quick circuits. Like the menu graphics... Good job!

nice simple background music. Intro, tuto are better than the game ;-)

Once I figured it out, it was surprisingly fun. I thought the speed increase as it progresses is spot on, and the changing barriers make for neat little obstacles. My major piece of feedback is that the snowman's collision box, although not too big, is not very. Since he moves in all directions, maybe a circular or symmetric sprite would better suit the gameplay. Also, what if he turned red as an indicator that you are brushing close to a barrier? Otherwise, quite fun!

^* his collision box in not very CLEAR is what I meant to say.

Ludum dare is not about polishing, but I would definetly do that in a future version.
