Snowman (company)
Built By Snowman, Inc., doing business and more commonly known as simply Snowman, is an independent video game developer and publisher best known for Alto's Adventure. The three-person, Toronto-based team previously worked on productivity apps before starting work on the game in 2012. In the snowboarding endless runner game, the player taps the touchscreen to make the on-screen character jump and perform tricks through procedurally generated landscapes.
In March 2016, Snowman announced Where Cards Fall, a collaboration designer Sam Rosenthal and his game studio The Game Band. Snowman will also publish DISTANT, a game created by the two-person team at Slingshot & Satchel. The game is confirmed for release on Windows, Mac, Apple TV, and home consoles. The studio released Alto's Odyssey, the sequel to Alto's Adventure, in 2018.
Snowman spun out play-based learning app Pok Pok in 2022.
