Snow Worries!

Snow Worries! is a snow-digging game set inside a Christmas snow globe. After Santa crashes his sleigh into your garden and his sack bursts open, Christmas lies buried under snow. Dig it out alone or with up to three friends.

Dig and upgrade

Each scoop reveals the ground and may uncover presents. Sell snow by throwing snowballs into a dumpster, put presents in Santa’s sack and spend your earnings on upgrades. You begin with bare cookie hands and can upgrade to tools including a flamethrower, jackhammer, jetpack, snow vacuum, candy-cane dynamite and snow laser. The snow has real volume, so you can dig trenches, tunnels and overhangs, and build walls, ramps and forts.

Play together

Online co-op supports one to four players, with a shared wallet and shared upgrades. You can invite friends through Steam or join them from your friends list, and proximity voice chat changes with distance and surroundings: voices can be muffled under snow, echo indoors or sound squeaky on helium. Walkie-talkies let you talk to friends who are too far away.

You can bury friends under snowballs, dig a roof so a slab slides onto someone below, or pick them up and throw them. Open surprise presents together for effects such as a rain of coins, moon gravity, a disco ball, a giant potion or a hot potato. You can also have snowball duels, fight over snow forts or stack into a cookie pyramid. Up to two additional friends can watch as marshmallow-ghost spectators.

Join through Twitch

Twitch viewers can enter a channel name to appear in your street as penguins, with their messages shown in speech bubbles. Chat can vote, set challenges such as shovel-only play, inverted controls or moon gravity, and choose a secret traitor. Moderators can use commands such as !avalanche and !storm, while penguins can bring back a present when someone types !help.

Streamer mode turns on automatically when OBS or Streamlabs is running. It hides your join code and filters rude words. You can also hide the HUD, fly a free camera, take a greeting-card snapshot and keep a counter of every time you get buried. Viewer names appear in the credits.

Story and challenges

The game has a story with an ending, followed by endless storms and a giant boss. It includes 24 Steam achievements, and has no death or game over. You can also play solo.
