When winter rolls around and the snow starts to fall, everyone's itching to hit the slope. But lets face it not all of us have a mountain in our backyard. Well, don't fret! With Snow Rider, you can enjoy all the thrills of sledding and snowboarding right from your screen. Talk about bringing the Slope home!
Snow Rider is a fast-paced online game where you hop on your trusty sled and zip down endless snowy hills. You will dodge obstacles, collect presents, and do your best not to wipe out. The games as simple as pie, but don't let that fool you it is tougher than a two dollar steak when the speed picks up!
The game is built in a first-person view, so you're looking down the slope from the tip of your sled rather than watching your character from behind. That view is part of what makes the speed feel real once the hill picks up pace.
Folks often search for both "Snow Rider" and "Snow Rider 3D" and wonder if they're two different games. They're not. Snow Rider 3D is the full name of the game, and Snow Rider is just the shorter version people use out of habit. Same sled, same slopes, same game either way.
Getting started with Snow Rider could not be easier. Here's the scoop:
Before you know it, you'll be zigzagging like a pro, dodging trouble left and right. Miss a turn? Well, thats the way the cookie crumbles. Just jump back in and try again!
The game also works fine on a phone or tablet, with touch controls standing in for the arrow keys. No matter the screen, the sled handles the same way.
The game was created by gamebiz, an independent studio founded by Ashima Prabhakar that focuses on fast, skill-based browser games. Along with Snow Rider 3D, the same studio is behind other arcade titles like Tunnel Rush and Wave Dash. It's worth knowing that plenty of copies and unblocked versions float around under different names, but the sled, the slopes, and the game design all trace back to that one studio.
