Build a Snowman drops you into a puzzle challenge you can start in a couple of seconds. The core of it is merge, block & tetris-like and sandbox & building. It works the same on desktop, tablet and phone, and your progress picks up where the game left it.
About Build a Snowman
Build a Snowman is a hardcore logical game, where the main task is to merge 2 parts of the snowman's body. It sounds like a very easy task, but it is not! You control both parts at the same time, and you need to use blocks to stop one snowman part and avoid fire. Fire is deadly for snowmen! There are also locked doors with keys and even portals in advanced levels. Still, sounds like an easy task? I understand, that yes, but do not wait and test your brain during Christmas evenings! The game contains winter, green and Mexican worlds with 30 hardcore levels. Let's build a snowman and not get anger issues!
