The game uses a side-scrolling stage structure with simple jump-and-move controls. Players shoot snow at enemies; repeated hits enlarge the snowball until the foe is trapped inside. That snowball can then be pushed to smash into other enemies, creating chain clears and bonus points. Stages are cleared by defeating all enemies on the screen, after which the next level begins. Enemy placement, platforms, and ledges are central to movement and crowd control.

Nick
One of the playable snowmen, focused on freezing enemies and building chain attacks.
Tom
The second playable snowman, sharing the same core abilities as Nick.
Strategy
Try to herd enemies into clusters before finishing them with a pushed snowball. Use elevation changes to stay safe and to line up better chain reactions. When the screen gets crowded, retreat and reset your position instead of forcing a risky attack. In co-op play, splitting left and right responsibilities makes room management much easier.
