Alright, I know what you’re thinking: “Snowman’s Dilemma?? Is he serious??” Yes, I am serious. Despite the fact that the protagonist is a snowman hell bent on collecting all the presents he can find, this game is actually a lot of fun. You are tasked with guiding the snowman to the exit in each room, gathering as many presents along the way as you can. It’s not as simple as it sounds. The snowman has only one tool at his disposal: ice blocks. You have a limited number of blocks at your disposal in each level. They can be used to help you get to hard to reach places, and to trap the snowman’s only natural predator, fire. The game looks, and feels a tiny bit rough around the edges, but the satisfying puzzle platforming gameplay more than makes up for it.

Snowman’s Dilemma is available now on the XBLM for 200 microsoft points. If you are into puzzle platformers at all, give it a try, you won’t regret it.
