Snowman is an equal opportunity employer that is committed to diversity and inclusion. Snowman welcomes all races, religions, genders, countries of origin, and sexual orientations. We are proud to have completed disability awareness training through Liebs & Co and aim to continue to improve accessibility in our workplace and community.
Snowman is an independent studio at the center of artful experiences. Whether as a developer or creative partner, our goal has always been the same: to create meaningful experiences that you may sit with for a short time but that sit with you for a long while.
Founded in 2012, Snowman made their debut with the release of the to-do app Checkmark and later went on to launch Shifts, Circles and Super Squares.
Shortly after, they worked with Land & Sea on the critically acclaimed Alto’s Adventure and Alto’s Odyssey. Special editions of the original games were later brought to Apple Arcade with Alto’s Odyssey: The Lost City releasing in 2021 and Alto’s Adventure: The Spirit of the Mountain in 2022.
Snowman also worked with The Game Band to release Where Cards Fall as well as with Agens on Skate City in conjunction with the launch of Apple Arcade in September 2019. Both games are now also available on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, The Epic Games Store and Steam.
In September 2022, Snowman launched their first partnership with Netflix in the vertically-scrolling platformer, Lucky Luna. Their latest title, Laya’s Horizon, was released in May 2023 on both iOS and Android also through Netflix.
Master the art of flying in Laya's Horizon. Dive off mountains, weave across forests and glide over rivers to unlock new abilities as you explore a vast, peaceful world.
Use the ancient power of the Windfolk’s enchanted capes to hone your skills, take on challenges and fly through obstacle courses that will make your heart soar. Explore an expansive island in this open world wingsuit adventure.
Outcast on a mysterious island in an unknown land, Luna wakes up dazed and alone… In the distance ahead, a set of towering ruins dominate the skyline--beckoning her forward. Join Luna on a magical journey into the depths of hidden temples and secret dungeons.
Dive as deep as you dare to unlock the mysteries of her past by conquering the trails ahead. Each level in Lucky Luna introduces new mechanics through its environmental features. The only catch? There's no jump button!
Swipe to move Luna left and right in this vertical scrolling platformer as she plunges deeper and deeper into this enchanting and treacherous world. You'll have to take advantage of your surroundings and rely on your wits to reach what lies below.
The Alto Collection brings both the critically acclaimed and beloved Alto’s Adventure and Alto’s Odyssey into one experience for the first time. A whole new group of players will finally be able to see what millions of others have discovered as they explore the ivory snows and the endless desert on the big screen in one collection.
Join mountain shepherd Alto and friends as they set out to rescue their escaped llamas and find the adventure of a lifetime. In this collection, you will journey across the beautiful alpine hills of their native wilderness and soar above windswept dunes in a fantastical place far from home. Each procedurally-generated run provides new inspiration and a fresh set of challenges that seamlessly blends our unique landscapes together.
We’ve been lucky to have some incredible jobs working at and partnering with some of the biggest brands in video games.
But we’ve never had more fun and been more fulfilled than when we were working with indie game developers.
Everyone in games should have that much fun.
Our hope is that Work With Indies will connect job seekers with the most rewarding, most inspirational, and most fun jobs they've ever had.
