## What is Snowball Dodge?

One thumb. One rule. Don't get hit.

Snowball Dodge is a fast, free, retro arcade game with a single move: slide left and right to dodge an endless storm of snowballs. Learn it in seconds. Try to walk away.
The twist that separates the pros from everyone else is grazing. Skim past a snowball close enough to feel it, without getting hit, and bank bonus points. Play safe and you survive. Cut it close and you climb. Risk pays.

What you get:

One-touch controls anyone can pick up instantly
- A grazing system that rewards nerve over caution
- Six unlockable characters: Yeti, Snowman, Elf, and three Santas (good, bad, and robot)
- Game Center leaderboards that put your best score up against the world

What you won't get:
- No ads
- No pay-to-win
- No timers
- No nonsense. Just dodge.

Think you can top the leaderboard? Prove it.

### 1/5 — Ads are not reduced

*2018-11-11*

I still get a video like ad every time a snowball hits. Wish there was a pay to stop ads. Totally makes this app unplayable

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4 — 2026-08-14

The sky now darkens as you close in on your best score.

Leaving the app mid-run shows a pause button: tap it for a 3-2-1 countdown before play resumes.

Clearer score screen text, plus a batch of small fixes to the shop and Game Center.

### 1.3 — 2026-07-31

NEW: Yellow snowballs. Catch one and everything shrinks for fifteen seconds. Earn them by skimming.

NEW: Skim past a snowball instead of playing it safe and the points multiply, up to 40 a snowball. Take one the easy way and the chain breaks.

- Every run ends with a letter grade and a card you can share.
- The board tells you what ended the run and how close you came to your best.
- Snowballs stop growing sooner, and one can no longer drop into the only gap you had left.
- Every character now kills across the width it is actually drawn at.
- Bigger text with a black edge.
- Your best score moved out of the way of play.

### 1.2 — 2026-07-21

- upgraded and fixed for iOS 26
- new mechanic "graze" to get combo points
- bug fixes

### 1.0.4 — 2016-02-23

1. Hate ads? Good! We've greatly reduced them to max. one every two minutes.
2. Like challenge? Snowballs now grow and speed up as you score more points.
3. Like art & sound? We've got a new background and game over jingle. No effort was put into them.
4. Like bugs? Too bad, we squashed some and the game is more stable.
5. That's it. There's nothing else to like or hate!
