You Ain’t Got a Snowflake’s Chance in Hell….
Snowflake’s Chance is a ridiculously hard (but not impossibly hard) and gorgeously hand-drawn platformer from indie developer, Carl Morgan. Coming to PC on March 16th, the game takes inspiration from some difficult classics such as Oddworld: Abe’s Odyssey and Heart of Darkness but puts its own unique spin on it in the form of… a fluffy bunny?
Aw, the innocence of a “sweet little lop eared bun-bun”, we hear you clamor as Snowflake scampers around a flower-strewn field in search of delicious corn cobs. Aw, indeed. You know, the only thing that would make this scene more idyllic would be dropping that most beloved of vermin into the Earth’s core, throwing a bunch of vile, grotesque and severely agitated beasties in your path and seeing his chances dwindle.
A test of survival of the fittest, Snowflake’s Chance challenges players to immerse themselves in visceral hand drawn environments of the Pit with only 99 chances to escape. Claw your way back up 21 brutal levels across a variety of areas. “Enlist” the help of other unfortunate critters to aid in your escape. You will need to run, dodge and hide from your enemies to make it through. You are weak and ineffectual!
Don’t slip! The Pit runs through the entire game so if you fall you might find yourself at the very bottom again.
