But Winter Story adds a lot of its own special flavour: from the appropriately beautiful surroundings to the all-new level setups, it certainly feels like a solid game in its own right. Most importantly, collecting three stars in each level still unlocks Christmassy mini-games which basically means you're getting five games for the price of one. The helpful ant friend who can step on buttons for you makes an appearance, and puzzle elements are largely unchanged. If you played Snail Bob 5, you'll recognise the gameplay immediately. He moves on his own (and pretty quickly for a snail), so all you have to do is click on him, or press the to stop him, and turn him around by clicking a button in the upper right corner. If you want to help him, you can guide him along the way. Santa has been kidnapped by a sinister hamster and taken deep into the woods, so Bob must travel through twenty-five puzzly levels to reach him. The point-and-click puzzle series has always been full of good cheer and silly humour, so the Christmas theme fits it as well as purple hats fit Bob.

Snail Bob 6 Winter Story is no exception – everyone's favourite slimy hero has to save Santa! Snail Santa, that is. It's that time of the year when games get a snowy makeover and come up with holiday-themed plots.
