Snow Roller

Close your eyes. Imagine yourself as the Snow Beast. You've just curled up in your favourite cave for a nice, long nap. Just as you start to fall asleep, you're jerked awake by the shouts of frolicking Terror Mountain residents. What do you do? Throw avalanches of snowballs at them, of course!

Basic Play

This game is not unlike Turmac Roll: you're rolling and jumping, trying to collect various items. The only difference is that you're rolling in the opposite direction, down a hill, and growing all the way.

Use the left and right arrow keys to move back and forth across the screen to pick up items. The up arrow key slows you down, while the down arrow key speeds you up. Use the space bar to jump over barriers. It takes a little time to move sideways because you're rolling so fast, so don't try to get every item at first.

You'll need to hit the spacebar about this far away to make it over the obstacles.

The items you want to hit are the ones with red arrows over them. Anything else will cause you to lose an item and decrease size if you hit it. If you hit too many things, you'll become too small to continue rolling, and the game will be over.

There are three stages, each with two levels. If you pass one level, you'll be able to choose which path you want to take. Simply press the arrow key that corresponds to the one you want. It doesn't actually matter which one you pick because the result is completely random.

Obstacles

The following are the obstacles from stage one (excluding the fire shown above, which is also an obstacle). There is also a house, shown at the bottom of the guide. The obstacles change slightly when you move to stage two, but they are usually just icy versions of the original ones.

Items

The following are some of the items that you can collect during the game. Some of them have multiple colour variations, including but not limited to the Poogle racer, Chia, Brucicle, negg, slushie, and Chia pops.

Two of the slushies have special powers. The black slushie increases your traction, which speeds up your snowball and makes it more difficult to dodge obstacles. The white slushie turns your snowball into a black hole, which attracts all of the items that give you points so you can focus solely on avoiding obstacles for a short period of time.

Items are worth the same amount of points regardless of which level of the game you're on, so here's a table listing the point values of all the items you can pick up:

Strategy

Thanks reckless4romance for contributing this strategy!

The key to a high score is utilizing the brakes (up arrow) as much as possible. When you are going slow you have the time to react and grab items!

At the beginning of each level, hit the up arrow 2-3 times and continue to hold the up arrow through each level. For example, as soon as you click Start Game you spam Up-Up-Uuuuup (where the third Uuuuup is you holding down the Up arrow for...ever). It might take practice to get the timing down! Don't be afraid to restart.

Once you're going at a snail's pace, here are the things to keep in mind:

• Try not to move left or right very much at the beginning of a level/phase. For some reason this will remove your brakes and you'll go careening down the mountain.
• Avoid the slippery ice at all costs! We want to be as slow as possible!
• Never get either of the special slushies! The black slushie is a massive speed boost and is the enemy now. The white slushie seems great in theory, but since it draws all items to you it might force you to pick up the black slushie.

It's best to keep your snowball on the smaller side until the last phase of the level. There is a bonus for finishing the level with a large snowball! 50% is a good size to balance grabbing items and avoiding obstacles. It can be hard to avoid slippery ice when your snowball is huge! You can make your snowball smaller by hitting obstacles. To maximize your score it's best to hit obstacles when you don't have any items in your snowball.

Once you've completed the first part of the level and must choose a new route, you can momentarily release the Up arrow (phew!) to make your choice. But once you've selected your new route and the cutscene has started, repeat your Up-Up-Uuuuup strategy!

Your finger holding the up arrow will eventually get tired. Going this slow will make the levels last a very long time. But you'll have plenty of time to grab tons of items and rack up those points!

Despite your best efforts, you may lose control and careen down the mountain out of control. You may accidentally hit ice, grab the wrong slushie, or sometimes the game just decides your brakes don't work anymore. If this happens, you can spam jump for the rest of the level and do your best to avoid obstacles. You can resume your Up-Up-Uuuuup strategy in the next level. It's still possible to get a high score if this happens, though if this happens to you in the first level it may be a good idea to just restart.

Prizes

After submitting your score you may also be randomly awarded one of these exclusive Snow Roller item prizes. There is no known minimum score to receive them.
