Snow Plough Night

Clear the town's streets before the snow turns to ice. The blade is always down, and each street has its own time before it freezes: pink means close, light blue means lost. Plan the route so the streets that freeze first are cleared first, over six nights.

How to play

  1. Drive the snow plough with the arrow keys or the on-screen buttons. The blade is always down, so any road you drive along is cleared and turns dark.
  2. Each street freezes at its own time. Snow that will turn to ice in less than 25 seconds is shown pink, and ice is light blue and cannot be cleared any more.
  3. Clear at least 90 per cent of the roads before they ice over. Hitting the buildings damages the plough, and the night ends when the time or the roads run out.

Tips and strategy

  • The colours tell you where to go. Head for the pink streets first, because they are the ones about to be lost.
  • A long detour to a street that is about to freeze is worth it if the alternative is losing the whole street, but check that you can still reach the next one in time.
  • Do not forget the outer roads. They look quiet but they freeze on the same clock as the rest.

FAQ

Why do the streets freeze at different times?
In the game each street has a time that depends on the route a steady plough would take, so the streets nearest the start of a good route are the ones that freeze first. Real snow also settles unevenly, but the idea is the same: the streets with the least time are the ones to clear first.
What if I lose a street?
You can still win. The goal is 90 per cent, so a few streets can freeze. Losing a lot of them is what ends the night early.
