Cool game, the pixelart is great!
The only thing I didn't understand at first was the fact that I shouldn't touch any of the objects. I was pretty sure that people are "collectibles" and tried my best to get them... Only to realize that they break my snow ball. :)
But after one mistake I got it and learned. Reinforcement learning in action.
If it was stated that you should avoid everything - my bad, I clearly missed it.

You dont have to avoid everything, simply it goes based on your snowball size, so when u grow a bit u can start eating trees then rocks then the black snowman, that's how u get bigger and bigger, by absorbing the right things.
If u want pls retry it knowing this, you can also read the strategy in the game page description.
thanks for playing our game
Oooh, I see now! Gotcha-gotcha, tried it again, and now it's more fun, since I see crushing. x)
Thanks for the explanation!
Being honest, I saw a lot of text under the ".../strategy" and decided that I'd figure it on my own, since, I thought, I got the gameplay. So maybe - just a suggestion! - write the "How to play" part separately with the info about absorbing the same sized objects? x)
Anyway, as I said, cool game :)
