When creating your game you can select the following options:

- How many teams are playing: 2,3,4 or all against all.
- How long a game will carry on for: 2 minutes, 3 minutes or 5 minutes.

The aim of the game is simple: To beat your opponents by throwing snow balls at them.

Each player has a small power meter that shows how healthy they are. Once the meter has run down (due to being hit by snow balls) the poor Habbo will collapse into the snow and have to wait a few seconds before getting back up to reclaim his/her honour.

To throw a snowball at another user just click on them. To throw a snowball at an empty square (if your opponent is running for cover) hold down the shift key and click the empty square.

To throw over walls and other tall obstacles simply hold down shift and click for a longer period of time. When you have run out of snow balls click the refill button to get on your knees and start collecting snow- but be warned while refilling your hand you'll be an easy target!

Scoring in SnowStorm is as follows:

1 point if your snow ball hits another player.
5 points if your snow ball is the one that sends an opponent to the floor!

Your score is recorded in the High Scores Table; there are several skill levels to work your way through. Please be aware that you can only play in lobbies that match your current skill level.
