This game is the perfect mix between a lovely polarchuck, snow cubes (balls are so last season) and burping. What more can you ask from a game?
+ 
= Ultimate Fun
Well, maybe a lot more. But this one, despite the miserable neopoint reward, has a nifty avatar that you can obtain by getting a score equal or superior to 5000 (five thousand, yay) So, let's learn how to play! =D
Interesting Information
You'll guide Dieter, the polarchuck, with your arrow keys. If you turn him on different directions he'll eat the cube in front of him (or even above and under). To eat the cube press the spacebar. Simple.
Your objective is to get safely to the ground stage, by eating snow cubes. However, if you eat a lot of snow you'll get really bloated and if you get bloated to 100% you'll lose a life. You have three of them to spare.
To save you from the death from immense bloating you have a red potion that will allow you to burp 50% of your "bloating bar".
You also have a time set to get to the bottom. 90 seconds it is, per level. However... Losing a life from bloating is different from losing a life per time. If you lose your life for being bloated you'll restart from the point where you... exploded (per say). If your time runs out the level will restart and your level points will not be reseted. This will be important when we discuss the strategy of the game.
Interesting Objects
Objects consist on a variety of things that you'll find through your game and that are not ice cubes. Check the chart below (thanks to Scarvogue's Snowmuncher Guide, as I've never seen some of the objects myself):
As you see, there are bonuses, consisting of gems and... food; more time that will be precious on later levels and a thing that can kill you. They call it Worm, I call it Hymenolepis nana. But let's stick to "worm".
When released from its cube, the worm will walk around and eventually reach you and eat you. However, it releases the purple gem that gives out a pretty nifty amount of points. So... You will kill it. To kill the worm something will have to fall over it. So the best is to lure it when it's still trapped on the snow cube. What you will do is to go right next to the cube that's below of the below it (refer to image). Munch it and, quickly, munch the falling cube while it has not reached ground yet. That will kill the thing and give you 200 points.
Levels
Now that you know how to play, I'll guide you a small resume of what each level looks like (based on what others told me):
Level 1 - 3 colours of snow (pink, blue and green) and a few cubes of rock snow (remember that this grey rock like snow has to be eaten in two bites). You have green gems available.
Level 2 - Introduction of worms and purple gems.
Level 3 - Introduction of orange snow.
Level 4 - The available amount of potions decreases massively.
Level 5 - Distance gets massively wider.
Level 6 - Introduction of purple snow.
Level 7 - Distance increases again like crazy.
Level 8 and more - Introduction of cyan snow and more rock snow appears
Quick Tips
First of all... Training. Train is essential, very essential. Each high score table player suggest a different strategy, but I'll stick to the following 7 steps (gently taught by twisted_paperclip):
1 - Don't eat all the cubes;
2 - Blocks can be helpful. When you see a big amount of them touching each other eat them or make that a cube of the same colour falls over (whatever requires less bites)
Here, for example, I'd destroy that green mass and then the blue mass. Consequently all the pink would die too.
3 - On the first level, eat as many multiple blocks as possible - don't worry too much about gems - they aren't worth that much.
4 - Only go around the stone snow if it does not require more than two bites to do it.
5 - Aim for scoring somewhere near 500 - 600 on the first level - take your time with it, but watch the clock on the later levels.
6 - Only use the "buuurrrrrrrrp" code on an ultimate emergency and on later levels.
7 - Finally, you'll need some luck for the disposition of your cubes and potions.
And with this I hope that you can now enjoy the wonders of eating snow on a different way. Also, I found this interesting guide that made me laugh to tears (I had so much work getting the avatar and all I need is this?? HAHAHAHA) that you may want to take a look. Just a thought.
