Snow Ball

Snowball is a 2004 puzzle game from Buzzabit Entertainment that casts you as Rollo, a snowball trying to roll his way out of a labyrinthine crevasse. The design leans Sokoban: short levels, careful pushing, and no artificial pressure from lives or timers, so you can poke at a layout until it clicks.

Guiding Rollo

Each level is a maze carved into the ice, and your job is to nudge Rollo along a route that avoids dead ends. Order of moves matters more than reflexes.

Relaxed by design

The author explicitly framed the game as a brain-flexer rather than a twitch test, and there are no lives or attempts to burn through if a puzzle stumps you.

An OS X title

Snowball is a Mac OS X release built for PowerPC hardware, putting it on the late side of the classic-era games preserved at Macintosh Garden.

What might have been

An expanded commercial version was planned for OS X and iOS but never shipped, leaving this preserved build as the definitive release.
