SNOW BROS 2 CHARACTER SELECT FULL

Nick & Tom Special – the boss battles are a highlight (pic: Clear River Games) There are three coloured potions but two are just minor upgrades to your speed and the distance snowballs travels and it’s only the green one, that lets you inflate to giant size and knock enemies out manually, that does anything different. Once again, that’s just like Bubble Bobble, although what isn’t is the relative paucity of power-ups. The more enemies you get at once the more bonuses you receive, in the form of lots of worryingly delicious looking foodstuffs. You can get in the snowball yourself, to travel with it, which is sometimes used to access otherwise unreachable platforms, but the enemies are so mobile this is rarely necessary. It almost is though, with the only missed trick being there’s not really an equivalent of using bubbles as impromptu platforms. If that all sounds very Bobble Bubble-esque then you see what we mean, even if, inevitably, the weapon system isn’t quite as nuanced. Even more so if you’ve got a second player helping out, which is made easy by the game being playable on a single Joy-Con – although predictably there’s no online options beyond a scoreboard.

Keep pelting them until they’re a full snowball and they can then be thrown or rolled until they smash against a wall and die.Ī rolling snowball will also take out other enemies as it goes, and push other snowballs, so you can cause an enormous amount of onscreen carnage with just a single nudge. Throw a few snowballs at them though and you can stop them in their tracks, until they or a comrade shake them free. They do so in single screen platform levels that are highly reminiscent of Bubble Bobble, including cartoonish but deadly-to-the-touch bad guys. As you might imagine, instead of bubbles, Nick and Tom are able to throw snowballs.
