Play Snowball Run online
Snowball Run is an original downhill arcade game: roll a snowball down a snowy slope, gather snow to grow bigger and faster, and dodge rocks and pine trees.
Snow patches score 10 points and grow the ball; rare golden drifts score 50 and grow it much more. A bigger ball rolls faster — but is harder to steer through gaps.
Rocks cost one of 3 lives and shrink the ball. Reach 1200 metres in 90 seconds to win.
How to control Snowball Run
- Move: Arrow keys, WASD, or mouse/touch drag

Tips for a better run
Steer early: the ball keeps its momentum, so aim for the next snow patch before you reach the current one.
Golden drifts are worth five snow patches — cross the slope for them when the path is clear.
After a rock hit you get a brief moment of invulnerability; use it to escape a cluster, not to plough through more rocks.
Your best distance is saved on your device, so beat it next run.
Frequently asked questions
How do I steer the snowball?
Move with Arrow keys or WASD, or hold a mouse/touch drag to steer left and right. The snowball rolls downhill on its own.
What do snow patches and golden drifts do?
Snow patches add 10 points and grow the ball, golden drifts add 50 points and grow it more. A bigger ball rolls faster, but is also a wider target.
What happens if I hit a rock?
A rock costs one of your 3 lives, shrinks the ball, and gives a brief moment of invulnerability. Steer around rocks and pine trees.
How do I win?
Roll 1200 metres before the 90-second timer runs out. Running out of time, or losing all 3 lives, ends the run.
