Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“This game lives or dies on how it feels in the hands and how its difficulty ramps up.
Where players get stuck, and what feels unfair rather than merely hard, is something only players can tell us.

Rather than finishing it on our own and calling it done, we would like to complete it together with your feedback.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“About one month.

The game is already playable from start to finish, so this period is for polishing based on feedback,
not for building missing systems. If more work turns out to be needed than expected,
we would rather extend the period than rush the release.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We plan to add new content such as more snowmen and patterns and an expanded collection.
We will also retune the difficulty curve and the time and judgement values based on player feedback,
and we are considering more achievements, score competition, and a user skin system.

The list and its priorities will follow the feedback we get during Early Access.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Playable from the first wave to the ending.

- Input, judgement, combo, timer and pain meter all implemented
- Wave progression, the day to dawn to night cycle, and the ending at the target score
- Endless Mode, unlocked after you see the ending
- Result screen ranking, snowman collection, achievements and a built-in tutorial
- Korean and English, key rebinding, resolution, brightness and volume options

Nothing essential is missing. The balance and difficulty curve are still being tuned,
and finding the spots that feel rough to a first-time player is what this Early Access is for.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We do not expect it to change much.

Players who buy in early should not be penalized for it, so the plan is to keep
the current price after the full release. If a small adjustment becomes necessary, we will announce it in advance.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“The Steam community hub and discussion boards, along with our Discord community, are our main channels.

- Bug reports, balance opinions and feature suggestions are welcome any time
- When opinions split, such as on difficulty or new content, we ask players before deciding
- Every update post says which feedback it acted on

We may not be able to reply to everything, but we read all of it.”

About This Game

Smash the snowmen with a cigarette stuck in them!

Break Snowman is a high-speed arcade game where you clear a line of incoming snowmen using just three keys.

It is not a rhythm game. There is no beat to follow, just a score attack where sharp eyes and fast reflexes are everything.

Someone has been sticking cigarettes into the snowmen.

Break them before the snowmen pick up a bad habit!

Most snowmen have a cigarette stuck in them. Smash those with the key that matches their position.

But cute snowmen without a cigarette are mixed into the line.

Those must not be broken. Press the opposite key to let them pass by untouched.

The moment your hand moves out of habit, your combo breaks and your pain meter climbs. Watch closely, then smash!

The Clock Never Stops

Clearing a line buys you time; every mistake costs you some. And the timer itself keeps speeding up with each wave. Ten wrong keys and your run is over.

Wave by wave the world shifts through day, dawn and night, and a single line grows from 10 snowmen up to 80.

Reach the Ending

Hit the target score and the ending is waiting. On the result screen your run is graded from F to SSS. And once you have seen the ending, Endless Mode opens up, with no finish line at all.

Rebindable keys, resolution, brightness and volume options, a tutorial on your first play, a snowman collection. All in both Korean and English.

The rules take 30 seconds to learn. Your hands will need a little longer.
