If a snowball touches a player, they will be frozen and are out of the game. It isn't easy to run at times, as the pond is slippery. The Mr. Blizzards face the direction they throw in before releasing their snowballs, so players should take that time to get out of their line of fire.

The objective is for the characters to move around the ice pond, avoiding the snowballs thrown by the Mr. Blizzards.
