About Waddle Roll!

Waddle Roll! is a free snowball action and strategy game for your browser and phone. You play Pom, a little penguin with an igloo full of eggs, and the fire embers have left their volcano to toast it. Waddle over the snow and you push a snowball that grows as it rolls, picking up the snow under it and leaving a green trail of bare ground behind. Kick it like a bowling ball into the embers: bigger and faster balls hit harder, and three embers with one ball is a STRIKE.

Snowballs are also your building blocks. Turn around to leave a big ball where it is and the embers have to walk around it, or stop and melt through. Push a smaller ball onto a bigger one and you get a snowman that throws snowballs all by itself; add a third ball for a Super Snowman with a top hat. Push a ball into a hurt igloo to patch it up. Watch out for Hotheads, wiggly Zippy Sparks, Lava Slugs, Cinder Bats that fly over your walls, fireball-lobbing Torch Imps and Magma Golems, then face Big Toasty, the Sizzle Serpent, Chili Chief and Magma Mama across 16 stages in 4 frozen realms.
