This game is a day in the life of the snowball. Try not to die! The game controls are as fallows.
A - Move left D - Move right (There is no escape button because I can only have 2 buttons. If you wan't to close press Alt+Tab and quit the application or press the escape button if you are in window mode. Simple, I know ;).
For the game to end two things can happen.
1.) You can shrink to small. 2.) You can be engulfed in an avalanche!
If you are only counting the time I spent actually making the game, It was around 10 hours!
The graphics are fine, especially since it's in 3D. It fits the theme pretty well too. But I got bored pretty quickly because the concept is something I've seen in many games before. Still, great job putting this together within 48 hours!
Pretty nice. The level gen is cool. could do some tweaking on the control and level design e.g. start off easy - with easier handling and more spacious ground, so players can get into the flow.
Good game! I feel like with a bit of work, this could be packaged into a little iOS/Android app for being on the bus.
The controls felt a bit slow, but that's probably part of the challenge of it. If I was to change anything, I'd probably make the hitboxes of the obstacles smaller and more distinct.
Overall, I enjoyed the simplicity of it. Good use of theme!
Hey! I decided to try out your game since you said it was so similar to mine :) (don't know why you think that's a bad thing!)
The avalanche is great - awesome way to build up tension when you can see it start looming up behind you. I would have preferred the snowball to be easier to control - right now it feels more like luck of not having something spawn in front of me rather than moving out of the way of things. I also really liked the ski jump but I never got off of it fast enough to be able to jump over trees, which would have been really cool.
Overall, great game! I like how even though our games are basically the same, they both feel really unique :) I guess that's the beauty of everyone creating games with the same themes!
Thanks! I have changed a lot of things to make the controls more accurate. And now you can better use the jumps. Also made the trees have a smaller collier and I also added a min velocity to remove snow. Another thing, I made the generation get harder and harder rather then just starting out hard.

Remind me of that adultswimgame... of rolling the ball from a mountain destroying everything! :)
