Ho ho ho! Merry snowing! SnowHeroes.io is a competitive growth-based arena game. You play as a Snowball constantly rolling through a field full of snow. All the time you move, you keep growing bigger. Absorb colorful orbs and other Snowballs smaller than you to grow even bigger! Whenever two Snow Heroes collide - the bigger one absorbs the smaller one. So avoid those larger than you and strike on smaller ones. But note - there are some obstacles like trees, rocks and snowmen. If you hit one, you lose a significant amount of your mass, so be careful.

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Brutal.io holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Brutal.io has 5.1K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of Brutal.io's written reviews are positive against 67% of SnowHeroes.io's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Brutal.io ships an update every 2 months, SnowHeroes.io every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
