Snowy Survival

Snowy Survival is an infection-style 2D gamemode on Gimkit.

How To Play

Players start with a 20-second grace period, Then the first "curse" happens, and a set amount of players are infected (changeable in options) and named The Cursed. Cursed players are equipped with a Snowball Launcher that when used on a normal player, will deal damage. Once a player runs out of health, they turn into a cursed. The game has no visible timer and only ends when every player is cursed. In the files, Snowy Survival is known as 'snowInfection'.

Map

The Map in Snowy Survival is a mash-up of every prior 2D game mode map (other than Cash Tycoon and This or That)

The Vortex basketball hoop, desk, and filing cabinets from Capture the Flag and Tag: Domination appear at the bottom right of the Map
The Answering Station and lake appear from Fishtopia appear at the bottom left of the Map, and you can fish in the lake.
Some farmland and crops from Farmchain appear at the top right of the map

Pre-Release

Before Snowy Survival officially released, it had gone through massive changes, map and gameplay wise.

During the first playtest in the Gimkit Discord, Snowy Survival originally did not have the Vortex and Echo area, as well as the Fishtopia and Farmchain area. These areas were just snowy and blocked by fences.

When it comes to gameplay, Snowy Survival was very different.

Cursed died in one shot.
Survivors spawned in with a Rare Snowball launcher, while Cursed did not.
Cursed were always a little faster with no configurable settings.
Players answer questions to get 1,000 Energy. (The Your Rules update was not out at the time.) This includes Survivors and Cursed.
Survivors regenerate one Snowball every two seconds and would max at 30 Snowballs.

Once playtesting was over, Josh made new changes to the map and gameplay, and just a few days later, Snowy Survival became what it is today.
