Yes, the game is very simple but it works with the theme and the procedural generation of the hill really carried the game and kept me interested. It is very difficult to build a proper snowman but I wanted to keep trying. You definitely focused on the right things in the short time you had."},{"author_name":"xWarZonex","author_uid":"39237","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 9:40pm","epoch":1418074500,"text":"The game wouldn't work....

Its a cool concept, though buggy.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Also making the player restart when missing one stack is not cool. Let them try that again, but lower the score by x amount."},{"author_name":"Cheshyr","author_uid":"20497","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 10:48pm","epoch":1418078580,"text":"Ok, that was fun.

Click and drag the snowballs to shoot them. Dragging away from the direction you want to throw them in.\r\n\r\nA 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.\r\n\r\nIt's pretty obvious I was rooting for the snowman theme, luckily this theme isn't hard to live up to ;)\r\n\r\nTry the Android version! (May not play well on small screens, though)\r\n\r\nI wasn't home most of the weekend so this is what I could manage in about seven hours :)\r\n\r\n\r\nADDED POST-COMPO VERSION:\r\nAdjusted graphics, physics and controls. Most importantly you can now drag anywhere to shoot. You no longer need tiny fingers to play the Android version!\r\n\r\nWeb: http:\/\/www.aergia.dk\/?page_id=148\r\nAndroid: http:\/\/www.aergia.dk\/ld31\/post\/snowman.apk","title":"Snowman Stacker"}
