Also just "ported" the game to be mobile friendly. You can now open the web link on your tablet\/smartphone\/iPod and it will resize and re-orient for just about any case.

The physics are pretty fun, and who doesn't love snowmen? One thing I noticed is that the hats appear to respond to physics impulses backwards when they're upside-down. i.e., pull up on the right side and the hat spins clockwise. Maybe I'm missing something though."},{"author_name":"peterthehe","author_uid":"46596","time":"Dec 22, 2014 @ 1:54pm","epoch":1419256140,"text":"Very simple but fun"}],"images":["ld31\/3954-29ef414930b004f8c2e98deb0322cba3.jpg","ld31\/3954-13bbf4591dbb9ddee5fd942b2e9b99da.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/bit.ly\/wantsnowman","text":"Web"},{"url":"https:\/\/dl.dropboxusercontent.com\/u\/9633551\/BuildASnowman\/LudumDare31.gmz","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"15382","g_author":"3954","g_event":"LD31","g_eventkey":"26","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"15412","g_title":"Do You Want to Build a Snowman?","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"749","g_commentcount":"17","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/407933\/3954-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/407933\/3954-shot1.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Of course you do, unless you're harboring a fear of your immense snow-bending powers.
