Snowman Ski Jump by stevehb
Snowman Ski Jump!
I liked the snowman theme because it's seasonal, so I wanted to make a game that still included that.
In Snowman Ski Jump, you build a snowman by rolling snowballs down the ski jump ramp and collecting items in the air. The larger (bottom) snowball can collect sticks for arms. The smaller head snowball can collect charcoal eyes, a carrot nose, and a top hot.
After you roll the bottom and top snowballs, your resulting snowman is scored, even if he's in pieces!
Perfect score is 1000.
Also note:
Snowman Ski Jump has no graphics assets. All the graphics are procedural, meaning they drawn by feeding vertices and colors to the renderer. Wanted to do a lot more with this, but ran out of time. Also no sound for the same reason.
The game is kind of tricky. Just press 'R' to restart and try again.

I had no sound, I hope I'm note missing something since the above comment spoke of audio...
After a few plays I kept getting "__gwt$exception: <skipped>: Cannot read property 'b' of null (typeError)"
It is also extremely hard :D
Technically well made, could use some improvements.
Other than that, really neat entry. Well done!
