Snowball Santa is an addictive Christmas game about Santa Claus trying to stop rebellious elves from stealing all of the children's Christmas presents. Play as Santa and tap the screen to launch a snowball timing your throws perfectly to hit the elves and put down their rebellion, you will have 60 seconds to hit as many elves as possible and racking up more points with uninterrupted combo shots. 60 seconds isn't enough? Then target a reindeer and they will grant you an additional 10 seconds of Christmas combat. Watch out though some of the elves are carrying bombs and hitting one of these will deduct 5 seconds from your timer! If you can reach a 10x combo then you will enter power-up mode that allows you to throw a powerful snowball that hits all targets on screen.

Sandbox with demolition simulation Physically realistic simulator of destruction: release your stress, just chill out and destroy it all down! Main features: Sandbox part of the game can be very fun if you know what to tweak and tear down stuff more destructively! • Slow-motion - You have the full control over the time rate: slow it down, make it faster or just freeze the simulation • Burning system - Fire can burn down wooden constructions. Burn it down! • Gravity - Took it all from freezing time... Well, play with low / high gravity or just turn it off like you are in space ;) • Control of gameplay - Too many debris on the screen and the game lags? Try debris combination and debris freeze options to improve performance reducing CPU/GPU load - Not enough debris? Simply increase destruction resolution • Guns - 15 different explosives (missiles, dynamites, cascade grenades) - Destructive Tornadoes - Lightnings - Black holes - Spikes from hell - Different sized cannon balls • Maps - Destroy over 30+ prebuild map from skyscrapers to ancient structures - Map editor: Build your own map and save it to one of available slots - Different terrains to demolish objects on • Simulator I have created this game for our personal needs - always dreamed of the game that allows you to destroy buildings, but there wasnt any, sooo... had to do one ourselves : )

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Ultimate Destruction Simulator at 4.2 against Snowball Santa's 3.2. Ultimate Destruction Simulator also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 11 months) and ratings volume (245 vs 9). Snowball Santa's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Ultimate Destruction Simulator sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Snowball Santa asks for nothing beyond the download.
Ultimate Destruction Simulator holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ultimate Destruction Simulator has 245 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Snowball Santa's written reviews are positive against 55% of Ultimate Destruction Simulator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Snowball Santa ships an update every 11 months, Ultimate Destruction Simulator every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
