Art Style

Snow Bros is a pixel art game. It contains cartoon-like characters and animations, very similar in style to Bubble Bobble. The game add monsters and demons in a comical and funny way to approach the childlike cartoon style, with the typical cartoon style of the 90s. The protagonists are two snowmen brothers, drawn with different colors to differentiate them, reference to Super Mario Bros. The story takes place in a fantasy kingdom, in which rare and colorful creatures live.
