Wrath of the Snowager is an action game released on December 21, 2010. Users play as the Snowager as he tries to retrieve some of his hoard stolen by a Chia thief. The gameplay is similar to Meerca Chase.
How to play
Each level of the game takes place on a closed map, with different obstacles in the way. The player can turn the Snowager with the left and right arrow keys to avoid the obstacles and chase after the Chia thief. The thief runs around the level, occasionally dropping an item of loot or a pick up. The player must guide the Snowager into the loot to pick it up.
The player can run into the Chia - this will temporarily incapacitate him and force him to drop three items of loot. They can also use the space bar to make the Snowager fire a short icy blast - this will freeze the Chia if it hits him, and if the Snowager runs into him while he is frozen he will drop five items of loot. After recovering from being hit, the Chia will be temporarily invulnerable and flash white. Every so often while running away, the Chia will flash purple and attract nearby pieces of loot to him, where he can pick them up again. After a short period of time, dropped loot will begin to blink white and will eventually disappear if not collected. After loot has disappeared, the Chia may drop it again.
The meter at the top of the level shows how much of the loot the Chia still has and how much the Snowager has reclaimed. It also keeps track of the Snowager's lives and how many icy blasts the player has left for that level. The more items the Snowager has, the longer its tail grows. If the Snowager runs into its tail, the wall, or a structure, it loses a life.
There are three difficulty modes: Easy, Medium, and Hard. On higher difficulties, more items are required to complete each level and the loot disappears faster. The Chia gets slightly faster in later levels, which is more pronounced in higher difficulties. There is also more variety in the loot that may be dropped on higher difficulties.
Pick ups
There are nine types of pick ups the thief may drop. The player can collect these by running over them as well. Two types of these are harmful, and are red. The others are beneficial, and are green:
- Lose Loot - These pick ups show a number on them - when collected, the Snowager will drop that many items. The item count cannot go negative.
- Slow Down - This slows down the Snowager.
- Speed Boost - This speeds up the Snowager.
- Icy blast - This gives the Snowager another icy blast to use.
- Attract Loot - This attracts the on-screen loot to the Snowager.
- Freeze thief - This freezes the Chia thief in place for a short period.
- More Loot - This makes the Chia drop all his remaining loot at once.
- Score Multiplier - For a short period of time, all the points the player receives are multiplied by the number indicated.
- Extra lives - This gives the player an extra life.

- This game was a Daily Dare 2011 challenge on March 23.
