About

Chaos at the headquarters of the video game organization, UPIXO: the villain, El Pix, has stolen some important and historically valuable artifacts of video game history from the archive.
Help Chubby retrieve all the artifacts from El Pix's icy realm of Snowdriftland!

Mission in Snowdriftland is unique in its concept: Play it like a traditional Advent calendar, and select a level every day and let Chubby guide you through the cold winter days. Or play it like a classic platformer - any time you want.

Mission in Snowdriftland offers the right gaming experience for all players: younger and less experienced gamers can get off to a quick and easy start and jump right in to start searching for the artifacts, while core gamers will face a cool challenge as they collect all snowflakes per level.

Prepare to confront some wacky enemies like penguins in squirrel costumes, polar bear joggers listening to music, flaming fire bumblebees and many more.

Compete against four Minibosses, the subordinates of El Pix, who are standing in your way after every world. Defeat them to prove that you can face the big boss himself!

Explore Secret Areas containing strange Glitch Pixels in every level. Collect them all to solve the secret behind the odd Pixel Mass found in the newly discovered Hole!

Various, entertaining levels in 4 different Worlds
Giant (truly giant!) unlockable Bonus Level
Bizarre unlockable Glitch Level
Challenging final boss fight against the villainous "El Pix"
Mini boss battles in each world

insane difficulty curb as well as sht not being shown well. Scorpian boss is stupidly hard and annoying. Most of the bosses are dumb asf as well. The i-frames last for jack-squat and for what they do last for half of them you cant move. Touching water/lava/poison is an instakill as well which wouldnt be an issue if it wasnt so prominent in the level design.
A delightful little platformer who's history of creation, and the fact it exists still now to play better than ever before is a truly wonderful act of creative passion and video game preservation :)

Perfect platformer that has 3 types of play styles. 1. Casual - just beat the levels. 2. Completion - Find all snowflakes and glitch pixels and complete those bonus levels 3. Time - there is a timer you can enable in settings for speedruns A perfect game for your platforming pleasure. Not too short. Not too long. The porridge is just right.
I wish Steam had a "meh" rating, but since it doesn't, I just don't think I can recommend this game. The concept of an advent calendar game is great, but the execution could have been so much better. The level design is the biggest issue - blind jumps do not belong in platformers, but there are just so many in here. And this is with the much higher FOV in this version, you can just imagine how bad it was in the original Flash version. There are also some areas that seem designed to force you to take damage. All of this combined with weird hitboxes in places make playing this game an exercise in frustration. The difficulty for some levels feels too high, but this would have been fine if the levels across the different days were arranged in a way to slowly build up to the more challenging levels. Instead, they seem thrown in randomly due to the world structure - one day you are playing the last level of a world and having a difficult time; the very next day you play the first level of the next world and it's an absolute cakewalk. Due to all of this, I just don't know who this game is for - I wouldn't recommend it for children because of the frustrating difficulty and adults would not find the advent calendar structure as appealing.
good game, very silly
Before grinding the bonus level, make sure to practice all the previous levels so you can take it on without getting frustrated.
good game
snowboy absolutely ♥♥♥♥♥ an entire ecosystem
the perfect christmas gift for somebody who really likes nintendo ds's and wii's. aswell as christmas. CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This game was originally an advent calendar-style Flash game for Nintendo, I found out about it from Nick Robinson's video a few years ago before the remake came out. The concept is very clever, Chubby is very cute, but some of the bosses and secrets had me tearing my hair out... could have benefited from checkpoints, maybe
