A Good Snowman Is Hard To Build is a very good puzzle game not too difficult with an original gameplay, some nice designs and a cozy ambient. It worth it with a discount price, I recommend it!!! ⛄❄️🤍

Difficulty: ★★★☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ Quality: ★★★★★★★★☆☆ Neat short little experience. I never properly got stuck on anything really (even though some of the puzzles took a bit to complete). There is somewhat of a difficulty spike when the meta world is introduced but it's still manageable. My only complaints are that the movement inputs are a little jank (there were a few instances of me wanting to undo through a room transition because I accidentally walked into one) and Freya's metapuzzle, which I solved by accident . The aesthetics are also a bit less polished than the newer Draknek games but that's just a natural part of a game being old.

Super fun. The dream world/alt area was fun and i liked the new challenge. Fun and relaxing puzzle game that doesn't look or feel like a puzzle game because you can roam the gardens and not just having title screens or menu screens to go between levels. Fairly kid friendly. My 5 year old solved several of the snowmen, even if by accident.

July 2024

This is a solid Sokoban-like game, which explores it's unique core mechanic to the perfect extent, without adding extra mechanics on top for later levels. The final part of the game does however play with another mechanic which feels derived from the original one, which also encourages trying to solve the original levels in different ways. Don't let my 9h of playtime fool you, most players should be able to finish and even 100% the game much quicker than that. But the game doesn't need to be any longer than it is.

It's not very long and not very hard and these are two main reasons why I liked this game so much. It almost felt like "puzzle vacation" :)
