Snowball
It might be a bit out of season to be topical, but Pixeljam's Snowball is a mammoth pinball game to behold. With well over a hundred targets to collect and multiple flippers and springs to control, this seasonal table has a lot of fun bells and whistles to keep you entertained until the next cold front sweeps through.

I like the large scrolling, multi-flipper pinball concept. Although I was never really good at pinball games, this was a fun game!
Pardon the pun but this game is loading at a glacial pace for me. I emptied my cache and closed other windows and all the usual things but it's still been loading for the past 20 minutes. Is it just me?
how do you get into the snow tower at the top?
No game hosted here should take 20 minutes to load (assuming you have a standard broadband Internet connection). Try emptying your browser cache and reload the game when something like that happens. Something likely corrupted your initial download, so emptying your browser cache will force it to redownload the game again.
I currently hold high scores #1, 2 and a variety of others in the top 20 (dan), once you figure out the flippers decently well it's not that hard a game and I'm surprised I'm doing as well as I am. To get to the tower at the top, hit the ball as it is coming down the top middle at the last moment, sending it through the boosters along the top/sides, while this happens hold the left flipper down, which creates a triangle bumper at the key of the arch, so the newly boosted ball will hit it and be send to the tower.
To really get going, the key is to hit the tower three times (which reveals more of the 10K gems) early, and then unlock and hit the snowfort 3 times as soon as possible afterwards (giving triple ball and a 3x multiplier) and then try and collect as many of the big gems as possible in the 20 seconds of bonus multiplier. Since the 10k gems down respawn, hitting them during the multiplier will get you much further in a lot less time. In my #2 score (390k) I got more than 100k in those 20 seconds by hitting so many of the big gems - my second and third balls were both duds, but I pulled out the extra ball, and a decent round besides to put me way up there.
Maybe it's just cause I'm good at it, and can figure out the mechanics of pinball fairly quickly, but I really liked this game.
Are there any cheats with this game like there are with Gamma Bros.? Or hidden keyboard cheats, ala the old Apple computer Sim City typing F-U-N-D to get $10K, etc.
