It's back! Snowman Survival joins the wonders of CubeCraft Games once again. Only available during Christmas, this mini-game brings a jolly and Christmas'y feeling to the infection themed games. Snowman Survival allows 8 players and there are 3 maps available to join and choose from.

Snowman Survival is a fun game where the objective is to survive as long as you can, without the Snowman giving you frostbite! The game starts with 8 players, then the sacred Snowman performs a ritual and the starting Snowman is chosen. The remaining players are human survivors and have a brief grace period of 7 seconds to run away before the Snowman is released. Humans need to run and hide whilst dodging the Snowballs that the Snowmen throw! The first Snowman needs to throw his Snowballs at survivors, this will convert the Survivors in to more Snowmen.

As a Snowman, you have TWO ways to shoot! Left clicking gives you a quick throw, with a predefined amount of force. Holding right click will charge your throw, it takes time but you'll be able to throw up to three times as far! You'll see this charging in your XP bar. If your throw hits a survivor, they will be converted into a snowman. HOWEVER as a Snowman you only get ONE Snowball, so use it wisely! If you miss, you'll have to run and fetch the Snowball by walking over it, or wait 5 seconds and it will come back to you automatically.

The Starting Snowman has the ability to track players every 30 seconds (by pressing the swap hands key), which the other Snowmen can see to hunt down the Survivors! If the Snowmen don't convert all the Survivors before the timer ends, they will explode and lose!​

When playing as a survivor, after 30 seconds of being released, you will notice there are powerups scattered around the arena which help you run, leap and teleport away from the Snowmen. Some powerups also allow Survivors to stun and gravity explode the Snowmen, as well as trick them with decoy survivors.
