Snowline

Snowline arrived during the era of Flash games, a simple holiday distraction you might find on a casual gaming site. It was a Christmas themed puzzle, one of many that appeared each December.

You control Santa, who slides down a slope with only gravity for momentum. Your tool is a mouse drawn line, which you sketch across the snowy landscape to create a path. The goal is to guide him past every present scattered on the hill and finally to a finish flag. You lay down a route, press a button to set him rolling, and watch. If the path fails, you erase and redraw sections, adjusting the angles and curves to catch all the gifts. The puzzles start gently but ask for more precision later, turning into a quiet test of foresight and geometry. It feels like sketching a solution on a frosty window, then seeing if your drawing holds.
