Somewhere under the sand, a masterpiece is waiting. Dig it up, scratch away the centuries, and hang it in YOUR museum. SCRATCH & RESTORE Every artifact arrives caked in dust, rust, and mystery. Scratch the grime away — gently! — with the right tool for the right spot. Brush the dust, chisel the crust, swab the tarnish, polish the gold until it glows. Nail it and the piece comes out gallery-grade. DIG FOR TREASURE Send your crew to Ancient Egypt, the Gem Fields, Greece, the Maya, Rome, Dynastic China, and the Inca. Every dig brings something back. Go deeper for rarer finds — but deeper pieces are fragile, and a careless thumb can shatter history. CRACK GEODES OPEN Plain rocks from the crystal canyons hide amethyst, agate, and opal inside. Find the fault line, load your strike, and split them clean. BUILD YOUR MUSEUM Every restored piece goes on your wall. Fill the collection, earn your Reputation, and open the Grand Exhibition hall by hall — plaques, crowds, and your name over the door. DAILY TREATS The morning post brings a scratch-off raffle ticket every day. The Curator's telephone rings with paying jobs. Come back tomorrow — there's always something on the bench. MUSEUM PASS Try it free for 3 days: no ad breaks, a second raffle ticket every morning, every dig insured, and every NEW museum wing the day it opens. Grab your brush. History isn't going to restore itself. Museum Pass is an auto-renewing subscription: $4.99 per week or $14.99 per month, starting with a 3-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. It renews automatically unless you turn it off at least 24 hours before the current period ends.

About

Snowlore

Read full description

Ski down a mountain. Tilt your phone to steer, tap to jump, and try not to hit anything. Snowlore is a remake of a small game I made in 2010, rebuilt from nothing with the one feature the original never got: animals crossing the slope in front of you. A hare bolts. A deer stops dead and stares. A bear does not hurry for anyone. FORTY-TWO COURSES, SEVEN MOUNTAINS Work up a branching map from the nursery slope to the summit, and then on to the next mountain: the Himalaya, Fuji, Triglav, Jotunheimen, Aconcagua, Hekla, Kilimanjaro. Each course is the same every time you ski it, so a better line is something you can learn rather than something you are given. Stars come from your time, the energy you have left, and how close you dared to pass. A PAGE OF LORE FOR EVERY COURSE Finish one and it gives you something back: a short tale about the place, and underneath it one thing that is true. Why a deer freezes instead of running. What a whiteout actually does to your eyes. Where the word "abominable" came from, and the mistranslation behind it. ENDLESS No finish line. It keeps getting harder for as long as you last, and past a point something starts following you down — and once you have beaten the creatures of the seven mountains, it is not always the same one. HONEST ABOUT ITSELF No advertising. No in-app purchases. No analytics. The developer receives nothing about you at all. Your scores go to Apple Game Center so they can be ranked — to Apple, never to the developer — and everything else stays on your phone. It is free because it was made for the pleasure of making it, and there is nothing in it to buy. Plays in twelve languages, with tilt or touch controls.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Snowlore at none against Impossible Museum Scratch's 11. Snowlore also leads on ads (none vs shown). Impossible Museum Scratch's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 9 days) and device support (3 vs 1). On price there is nothing between them.
