About Snowman
Snowman is a small studio at the center of artful experiences. Whether as a developer or creative partner, their 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 with the release of the to-do app Checkmark, Snowman went on to launch Shifts, Circles, and Super Squares before collaborating with Land & Sea on Alto’s Adventure and Alto’s Odyssey. In 2019, they released Where Cards Fall and Skate City in conjunction with the launch of Apple Arcade.
In September 2022, they 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.
