Bug fixes to multiplayer reconnecting
Minor tweaks and bug fixes
Update 1.23: New Graphics, Haptic Feedback, Gameplay Improvements, and a 50% Discount!
Happy Lunar New Year! The weather might not be warming up, but we are with Snow Fortress 1.23! To celebrate, we have a 50% discount and a number of game updates for you:
Hardware Update: bHaptics Integration - Oof! If you use bHaptics devices, you can now feel snowball impacts to the face, body, and hands.
Gameplay Update: Increased Hearts in Multiplayer PvP - Matches ended a little quickly in PvP, so we’ve increased lives from 3 to 5 hearts.
Graphics Update: New Models and Animations - We added a fresh coat of paint to the game’s models and logo. Gotta look good for the new year!
Graphics Update: Impact Feedback - Sometimes, it was hard to tell when you were hit, so we improved the visual feedback when struck by snowballs.
Bug Fix: Oculus Controller Mapping Bug
Bug Fix: Other Miscellaneous Bugs
If you have faraway friends who want to play, but don’t own a VR headset, Snow Fortress can be found at SpringboardVR, VR Junkies, Ctrl V, MontVR, and Synthesis VR arcades around the world - with more locations coming soon! (Hint: Brazil, Finland, and South Korea are about to get frosty.)
As always, thank you for continuing to play with us! Have a great Lunar New Year and we hope you have lots of fun with the update!

Tippy Tree Launch!
We're excited to announce that our latest VR game "Tippy Tree" has just launched on Steam for Vive, Rift and Windows Mixed Reality.
Tippy Tree is a virtual reality puzzle game that has you decorate the tippiest of trees. Celebrate the holiday season with trinkets aplenty, but watch out, without careful planning, all of your work may come crashing down!
If you like Snow Fortress and want to get into the holiday season or have something fun and simple to show off VR during the holidays, then Tippy Tree is the perfect way to do that.
Update 1.1 Coop Multiplayer!
It's been quite a while since we've updated Snow Fortress as a few other games have taken priority over the past year. So we've added a big new feature: Coop Multiplayer!
So now, in addition to PVP you can team up together with a friend and face off the snowman army together!
To get into a coop match, start multiplayer as usual and either find each other through your Steam friends list or Quick Match. Then once the level loads, select "COOP" from the settings panel (only the host can choose the settings).
You can choose between 3 fort setups, allowing you to each have your own forts or share one fort together.
Skytropolis, our new city building game has just launched
Hey snow fort builders, we have just launched a new game designed for both VR and desktop platforms called Skytropolis!
About Skytropolis:
You have secured a contract to build the world’s first vertical megacity. Start with a plot of land in the center of your city and build upwards into the sky, designing your ideal Skytropolis tower. Decide everything from the architectural design to every part of the interior. Do you maximize profit and use up resources from the surrounding city? Or balance sustainability by providing eco-friendly interiors and your own power generation. Be warned, the higher you build the more complex the city’s needs become.
To finish up 2016 with a blast, we're giving away 5 Steam keys for the full version of Snow Fortress and 5 copies of the soundtrack. To participate download the demo version of the game and build the coolest fort in any level of the game, then take a screenshot or video capture of it and share it here on the Steam community:
