Snowman Stacker by dook
Oops: Should perhaps explain the controls as well! Click and drag the snowballs to shoot them. Dragging away from the direction you want to throw them in.
A simple little snowman golfing game. Your objective is to move the snowman down the hill to the indicated box. Rolling each ball will make it bigger, try to create a new snowman with ideal proportions: each ball half the size of the one under it. And in as few strokes as possible.
It's pretty obvious I was rooting for the snowman theme, luckily this theme isn't hard to live up to ;)
Try the Android version! (May not play well on small screens, though)
I wasn't home most of the weekend so this is what I could manage in about seven hours :)
ADDED POST-COMPO VERSION:
Adjusted graphics, physics and controls. Most importantly you can now drag anywhere to shoot. You no longer need tiny fingers to play the Android version!

Also making the player restart when missing one stack is not cool. Let them try that again, but lower the score by x amount.
Nice game.
Am I best? :)
By the way nice and simple game
Allowing the snowballs to get bigger by rolling is a great idea. That's even more fun than the main objective. =D
Quite innovative actually! I liked it. The falling snowflakes and the sound also gives it some mood.
Putting the instructions in-game probably helps, I know they are right there on the webpage, but people do pay more attention to things when they are forced to :P I played a few rounds just making weird upside down snowmen in as few shots as possible before I realised that wasn't actually the objective, and the game was a lot more interesting with the real objective :)
