Snowy: Treasure Hunter 2 1.1

Snowy, a cute and lovable polar bear, just can’t sit still for a second. After scouring three game worlds and collecting all the treasures he could get his paws on in Snowy: Treasure Hunter, he is back to collect some more treasures in Snowy: Treasure Hunter 2.

In this sequel Snowy goes to Africa, the Mayan jungle and the Far East in search for treasures. The polar bear has to use his wits, agility and trusty pick axe to go through the levels (20 levels for each location) defeat the enemies and collect the treasures.

The best way to understand what this game is all about is to play it for yourself. There are two ways of putting game to the test. You can play the game online by simply clicking here. This way you don’t have to download or install anything. Just click the link and you start playing Snowy: Treasure Hunter directly in your browser.

Alternatively you can download the game (the download weighs in at 18.8MB) and install it on your Windows-powered computer. By doing so you can play the game free of charge for a trial period of 60 minutes. To my mind, one hour is more than enough time to realize if you like the game and to realize if you want to pay for a license.

Be careful during the installation process. You will be asked to change your default search provider, you will be asked if you want to change your homepage, and you will be asked if you want to install Game Box (contains Alawar Entertainment’s catalog of games). If you don’t want to change your homepage or search engine, or if you don’t want to install the Game Box, make sure to opt out.
