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!
I'm amazed at what you put together in 7 hours. 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.
A really nice mechanic, pulled off very well, especially for seven hours. The physics are well done, the hill generation is nice, and it's tricky to put together. A lot of fun to play, well done.
Well done! Fun to play.. That little box at the end seems a bit misleading seeing as how the first snowball ends up needing to be 4 times the size of the biggest snowball.
Nice idea, pretty hard to get the proportions right, but it feels like the right level of difficulty for this kinda thing.
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 :)

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.
