Another short physics game from Wheemplay. I really enjoy these little puzzlers. If Wheemplay made them each about 30-50 levels long and bundled a few together, they may well find a market for them on somewhere like Steam.

Thank you to everyone. I hope you all found at least a few games over the last year and that the coming year will see some more fabulous games.

I didn't make it back from visiting for nealy 12 hours, so didn't manage to do any moderating for most of the day. Thankfully one of the owners managed to modearte several times. :)

Merry Christmas to everyone! Thanks for running the site, and thanks to all the developers who test and beta their products here. I love getting to play with all the games - even if I have to swat a few bugs to do it!

Thanks Wheemplay for today's game! I can't wait to see how the snowman is doing!

Just wanted to say Merry Christmas to everyone and
Thanks for all the good free software's and mostly the help I get from this wonderful group when I read your comments before deciding if I want to even try installing these items or not.

I am one of those quietly lurking ones but believe me, I would be totally lost without this group.

Thanks again and Happy New Years.

Merry Christmas, Whiterabbit and to all at GGotD who celebrate it.

This is a nice little Wheemplay puzzle game - the kind of unique little puzzler that they do best, I think. I like the inclusion of a level editor and the ability to play custom levels.

I found the instructions in the first level to be a bit confusing. Since the 'Click here' label was persistent, I kept trying to click on the stove full of coals after placing the candy cane shelter. Also, since the timer kept counting down the entire time the stove was flying - it seemed like the scores were getting unneccessarily low. Did anyone figure how a way to speed it up?

@#20 - Do we really need to do the whole War on Christmas thing here too?

Happy Holidays to all! Installed and registered without a hitch on my Win7x64 machine. Nice little holiday themed game for today. Will likely play for a bit.

@20 I guess we cancel each other out then as I only shop at stores that display an inclusive banner proclaiming "Happy Holidays"

#22, those aren't "dots", they're burning coals! You don't want to melt your snowman head. However, if you have "evil snowmen" (they look dirty), you want them to melt.

It's similar to many of these Wheemplay games. You maneuver your environment to achieve the goal. You may move and drop some things, remove other things and hope things work out so the falling coals don't melt your snowman head.

It says "snowman" but a whole snowman won't roll so they just use the head. I guess the nose is in just the right place to keep him rolling evenly.

There are only 25 levels but there is a level editor.

Typical of these games, there is only a single file extracted during "install" and that is the executable. You must create your own shortcut from that.

I put all my Wheemplay games into a single folder. Since each is just one file, there's no problem.

The ratings seem quite low based on the number and type of comments today. I don't know if people are giving them a fair chance after the fiasco of the last Wheemplay game. I noticed the "apology" at the top!

I gave it a thumbs up.

Thank you Wheemplay & GGotD.

I had to turn the music off after a couple of levels but the game itself is enjoyable. I liked having to save the snowman but getting rid of the "evil" snowman as well.

Thanks guys. Just a little play thing on basic puzzle block the incoming stream of dots to protect your snowman. Ok for kids given the quite simple design.
Win 7 x64. Full screen mode, can turn off music. Has a built in help system to show you where to place blocking element (s). 20 quick levels. If you've missed it due to holiday merriment no big loss. Prob can find it elsewhere for the really diehard fans.
Looking forward to bigger fun plays in 2012 and that GOTD keeps up its great generous format. Every little bit helps nowadays.
Nog Time now.

Merry CHRISTmas to all, and especially Whiterabbit for all the time you put into getting games for us, and reviewing them, and answering replies, and putting up with couch potatoe whiners etc...

I'm proud to announce I didn't buy a darn thing from any store that didn't have a Merry CHRISTmas sign up anywhere. It is CHRISTmas in North America and everyone knows it.

Cheers,
Freeme

This game is simple in a difficult way & annoying in a funny way. It's frustrating and drove me insane, but yet I couldn't stop playing. So I guess I liked it !

Merry Christmas !

No review today, We've been given a wheemplay game with a Christmas theme.

I'll try to moderate occassionally, but I'm off out to my in-laws for most of the day, so moderation will be only occassionaly.

A message from Wheemplay team.

"We'd like to tell everyone who's got annoyed by our previous game: we wish you didn't take our games too seriously. We assure you, not a single Bieber was harmed during the creation of this game. :)

We hope you will like today's game though.

Merry Christmas to everone!"
