Nintendo

We are tons of bits, the developers of Mission in Snowdriftland and chick chick BOOM. AMA (AUA)!



Hi there!

We created the official Nintendo of Europe advent calendar platformer game in 2006. And we want to bring it back as a remaster this winter (Dec 2021) on Steam. Yes, 15 years later 🙂

Back then ***Mission in Snowdriftland*** was quite popular in the online Nintendo and gaming communities and many who played the original in 2006 are looking forward to the remastered version.

***Mission in Snowdriftland*** (with *Chubby Snow*, the Snowboy, as the main character) is an homage to the classic 16-bit Super Mario platformer games, including pixel art and retro style music. It’s easy to pick up for beginners, but becomes a tough challenge if you want to collect all 24 snowflakes in each level, even for core gamers.

Despite of being designed like an advent calendar, you will be able to to decide if you want to treat it like a classic advent calender (one level per day) or just play whenever you want to.

**Here are some of the key datas of** ***Mission in Snowdriftland***:

* Homage to classic 16-bit platformers
* 24 levels + 1 endboss battle
* 4 worlds with different settings (*Lake, Forest, Mountain, Cave*)
* Pixel art
* Retro music with several tracks
* Full controller support
* 60+ fps support
* Optional timer for speedrun trials
* Achievements

**Ports:**

We really would like to see *Mission in Snowdriftland* as a port on the Switch, but due to time and ressources constraints we have to focus on the Steam release for this year. We will consider any ports to other platforms/systems after the complete scope of the game has been finished.

**Support:**

Right now we have a Kickstarter campaign running, where you can support the project by claiming exclusive and limited goodies like a Chubby plushie, original and signed drawings, digital artbooks, stickers, your own enemy creations in the game, and a lot more. You can find all this and more details about the game over here:
