Our take on Snowflake's Chance
The 99-chance premise draws attention to individual deaths, but the larger setback is vertical: falling can send Snowflake toward the bottom of The Pit. That makes progress vulnerable to environmental mistakes as well as enemy encounters.
What is Snowflake's Chance?
Snowflake's Chance is a side-scrolling platformer starring Snowflake, a rabbit attempting to escape The Pit.
Across 21 levels, players run, dodge, and hide from enemies in areas including a molten magma core and the vacuum of space. Falling can send Snowflake back toward the bottom of The Pit, while each death makes Evil Snowflake stronger. Power-ups, unusual items, secret routes, and other critters provide assistance during the escape. The game features hand-drawn and hand-animated visuals, a soundtrack available for download, gamepad compatibility, and 20 Steam achievements. Its level design targets a high difficulty, with the listing comparing its challenge to Oddworld: Abe’s Odyssey, Spelunky, and Heart of Darkness.
