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.
