Snow Drift was one of the first games I ever remembered playing. Along with Red Beard and Doodle they were known as the "Big Three" to me. I played Snow Drift firstly on Miniclip but for this review I played it on Nitrome's website as Nitrome created this game.
In Snow Drift you take control of a yeti as you jump and slide your way around ice and snow. With 20 levels it's a good game for people just starting out with platformers.
The controls are basic. You can use the arrow keys, space or WASD.Left Arrow/A: Walk Left
Space/Up Arrow/W: Jump
Right Arrow/D: Walk Right
Down Arrow/S: Slide. (On Ice Only)
Sliding is the only way you can defeat enemies. My holding one of the keys stated above and holding the direction you want to slide you can take out enemies. But watch out for spikes.
If I remember correctly their are 3 types of enemy. Reindeer Penguins who can hurt you by touching you. Snow Wolfs who have these bazooka's what fire flaming penguin toys. You have to time it to defeat them. The last enemy is a polar bear who throws flaming penguin toys bombs. Like Snow Wolfs you have to time it to defeat him.
Overall Snow Drift is a great platformer game for all skills and should be given a chance if your not sure. Overall this game gets a 8.5/10.
