Control snowball and try to stay alive, everything else you will find out while playing :) . Good luck!

Controls: Jump - 'W' , 'up arrow key' or 'space'. Move faster - hold 'D' or 'right arrow key' for short time Move slower - hold 'A' or 'left arrow key' for short time When you die and see overview, click 'R' to restart game.
Graphically this game looks stunning. Mechanics are great, the game reminds me of "rock of ages" and that's one fun game. I really like the fact that, the ball can grow after collecting snow.
The low res question marks at the end made me think that the game was bugged. But now I understand, how the game fits the theme.
Good game overall. The use of parallax really helps the graphics, and I liked the polish with the asteroid flame effect. The game seemed to glitch after the snowball died. The controls were really tight and well done. Solid game overall.

Great job! Smart of you to incorporate the "health" into the snowball! It felt 100% natural, I'll try and remember that trick for future games! I liked the graphics with the "pen"-like feel to it. I had some graphics glitches with visible "seems" maybe some scaling or tiling issue?
Quite enjoyed this one :) I don't really think its much to do with the theme though - any game could finish with a collage of screenshots "on one screen". That or I've missed the point, but still...
On the plus side though, graphics were great, sounds were well balanced and it was fun to play.
Mac version didn't start at first. I had to enter a terminal window and then cd Downloads/LateIcebreaker_Mac.app/Contents/MacOS and finally chmod a+x LateIcebreaker_Mac to get the game to start
Difficult game! Might've been better if instead of increasing your pace, you just control yourself to the left n right of the screen - that way you get more of a feel of the impact of your pace increase and decreases.
It's very hard to predict what is coming, when to jump, when to speed up and when to speed down. But maybe that's just me being not very good at games... Overall, it's still a nice game.
Trying to dodge things is pretty frustrating, but I think the reason that's so apparent to me is because the rest of the game is pretty well polished. Great graphics and smooth track. Well done!
Beautiful graphics! Also quite innovative game, and relatively fun - I just thought it was very difficult. I barely managed to dodge anything, still got to 78% somehow. Guess that's due to the game being very forgiving and lets you rebuild your snowball occasionally, which is cool. And I liked those boards in the beginning explaining how the game works, which really is much better than relying solely on the explanation here on the LD page as most people do. :)
I really liked the tutorial signs, that was really cool. Especially the lines "Avoid these"... "And these". I thought that was pretty funny and clever.
The sound effect when getting hit sounded like a good thing almost! :P One thing that confused me was the time that appeared and counted down upon receiving a star. I wasn't sure why that was there.
Sometimes there is a little graphics glitch after restarting (black and noisy screen). Having a snowball as controlled character which gains health over time by getting new snow is a fun idea. On the one hand, the controls are smooth and overall it's a solid game. But then, the audio doesn't fit that well on the other hand.

Good Job!
