Our take on Mission in Snowdriftland
The daily-calendar format offers a scheduled way to play, but it is less suited to players who want every stage available as part of a continuous progression. The collectible objectives also add a completion layer beyond reaching the end of each level.
What is Mission in Snowdriftland?
Mission in Snowdriftland is a pixel-art 2D platformer about Chubby, a snowman retrieving video game artifacts from El Pix's icy realm.
Levels span 4 worlds and can be played in an Advent-calendar format, selecting one level per day, or as a conventional platformer at any time. Each level contains snowflakes and secret areas with Glitch Pixels. Minibosses stand in the way after each world, followed by a final battle with El Pix. The game also has an unlockable bonus level, an unlockable Glitch Level, unusual enemies, retro music, full controller support, a speedrun timer, and achievements. Collecting every snowflake in a level adds an extra objective beyond reaching its end.
