Sokobond dev's latest A Good Snowman is Hard to Build gets a release date

Cute wintry puzzler due next week.

Independent developers Alan Hazelden (Sokobond, These Robotic Hearts of Mine) and Benjamin Davis (Sushi Snake) have revealed that their upcoming grid-based puzzler, A Good Snowman Is Hard To Build, is coming to Steam, the Humble Store and its official site on 25th February.

Available for PC, Mac and Linux, A Good Snowman is Hard to Build will generally go for $12 (about £9), though the developer suggested to Eurogamer that it might be on sale during its launch period, so keep an eye out for that.

Eurogamer YouTube editor Ian Higton took a look at this grid-based puzzler around Christmas and seemed to have a good time with it.

Now take a gander at all the mentally taxing snowman building in the new release date trailer below.
