Spanish developer Concano Games released a demo for their 2D puzzle platformer, It Is Nice When It Snows, that involves a magical broken snowman.
The demo was released so that players from around the world can try out It Is Nice When It Snows, while also helping Concano Games complete their funding. At the time of this article there is less than a week left for potential backers to help fund the project.
Players looking to jump right into the demo can visit the It Is Nice When It Snows Kickstarter campaign page, linked at the bottom of the article.
