Snow Bros. - Nick & Tom

Released by Toaplan in 1990, this title is a comical action game played on a fixed screen. Developed with the popular game Bubble Bobble in mind by a company already renowned for its shooting games, this release features adorable characters while showcasing the unique style for which the developer is known. Players defeat enemies by turning them into snowballs and kicking them, and the inclusion of sushi as a bonus item serves as a charming example of the game's quirky sensibilities. Please note that, consistent with the original hardware specifications of the time, some slowdown may occur during the final boss stage.

Nick and Tom, snowman brothers living in the peaceful Snow Land, find their kingdom taken over by monsters that suddenly appeared one day, with the princesses of the kingdom kidnapped as well. Possessing the ability to throw snow to turn their opponents into snowballs, they rise up to rescue the princesses and return to their original human forms. To restore their kingdom to the way it was, the two brothers set out to clear each stage, where numerous monsters await.
