Snowball Showdown

Snowball Showdown is the most intense, over-the-top snowball fight that players will ever experience! Demolish your opponent by creating snowballs and sticking all sorts of wacky items inside them, such as a hand grenade, an acorn which sprouts a tree, and even your neighbor's cat! There are no rules in this fight!
