🌨 Snowy Survival

In Snowy Survival, your goal is simple: survive as long as possible. At the start of the game, one player is randomly cursed and given a Snowball Launcher to knockout other players. Everybody else must run and evade the curse. If they are knocked out, they become cursed too. The game ends when everyone is cursed!

How to Play



Regular players try to avoid getting knocked out and becoming cursed. Cursed players try to knockout players to add to the Cursed.
Cursed players start with a Snowball Launcher. Regular players can plant, grow, and harvest Snowball Launchers in the farming area.
Toggle between regular gameplay and projectiles using the selector in the bottom center of your screen.
Select the "Projectile" icon to enable snowball-throwing. Aim and throw snowballs by clicking with a mouse or tapping the screen with a finger on touch screens.
The game ends when the last player is knocked out and all players are Cursed. Or, the host can end the game manually.

Snowy Survival Game Options

Use the WASD keys on your keyboard to move around. That way, you can use your right hand for the mouse/trackpad, which may make aiming and throwing snowballs easier.

Use "1" and "2" on your keyboard to quickly toggle between regular gameplay and throwing snowballs.

The farming area can be used to grow everything from Snowball Launchers and Med Packs to gold keys.

As you play, you'll discover relics from other game modes. Something strange is happening, and there are secrets to uncover. Best of luck exploring this strange new world!
