Snowpack Park is a slow-paced life simulation game. Players take control over either a Mii character or one of the characters already prepared. The game revolves around gathering penguins and interacting with them by feeding, petting and playing different minigames with them. players brave various terrain and unexpected obstacles as they travel from island to island, finding penguins and bringing them back safely to the park. But getting them back is just the beginning. The penguins have different moods, which go up and down depending on how much interaction they have with the player, and if a penguin's mood gets too bad, it will leave the park. To prevent that from happening, players must learn how to feed, pet, and play games with the penguins in order to keep them happy. At the end of the day, players receive friend points depending on their friendship with the penguins. These points can be used to buy balloons, that help them travel to new islands where they can gather more penguins. Players can also find new items and items, accessories and headwear they can equip their penguins with. They can also fish at special locations, where they can catch e.g. tuna, blowfish and even more items. There are various minigames players can play around the park, such as Free-Throw Follies, Blowfish Bowling, and Chuck-a-Chowfish. There are also several minigames they can unlock by tracking down keys to igloos located throughout the park. The penguins play an important role in the minigames. An example of this is the basketball minigame, where players throw penguins instead of basketballs. Reception
