Snowbound: Winter Reflection is a cozy 2D top-down snowball battle game created for Cozy Winter Jam 2026.

Step into a peaceful winter arena where two teams face off in a friendly (but competitive!) snowball fight. You play as the Leader of your team, guiding your side to victory while dodging incoming snowballs and defending your territory.

Each character has limited health:

  • Regular players have 5 HP

  • Leaders have 10 HP

Every snowball hit reduces 1 HP. When a character reaches 0 HP, they are eliminated. The last team standing wins.

Features

  • 1v1, 2v2, 5v5 and 10v10 modes

  • Simple but engaging AI opponents

  • Snowball projectiles with collision physics

  • A central red boundary line that no one can cross

  • Light winter atmosphere with cozy visuals

  • Minimalist, relaxing presentation

NPCs automatically throw snowballs every 2 seconds and attempt to dodge incoming attacks — but they won’t always succeed. Victory requires positioning, timing, and awareness.

Theme: Reflection

Beyond the snowy battlefield, the game subtly explores the idea of reflection — through atmosphere, visual elements, and the idea that even in playful competition, we reveal who we are.

Controls

  • Move: WASD or Arrow Keys

  • Aim & Throw: Mouse Click
