Really nice game! Although I might be the worst player but it was fun when I got the hang of it!
Really cool graphics ! The game is pretty challenging ! Cool music
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. 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.
Good game :)
I think the snowball should had been positioned at the left side of the screen. It would be easier to see and prepare for incoming things... :)
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.
Great game, very good idea and beautiful visual. I enjoyed playing it.
Cool style, like the graphics. Not a very innovative game, but fun none the less.
Very good job. Very clean, addicting gameplay and very innovative! Just wish it had more sounds.
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.
cool idea, slow down and speed up not as useful though...like the concept of making a big snowball though!
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.
Fun game overall! Great job on finishing it!
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.

PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
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 Job!
