How it feels

You push a snowball around a serene, isometric garden as a small monster, feeling a cozy, meditative focus as each perfect snowman takes shape to a gentle soundtrack.

What players say

Players call it a relaxing Sokoban-like where rolling snow makes them grow. The puzzles start easy but get tricky, and several note a hidden second stage after the initial clear.
