Anyone who’s played chess probably remembers the first time they learned how the pieces move. On that list is the bishop, which can only move diagonally, but will travel until it collides with another player’s piece. There’s something wonderfully freeing yet restricting about this ages-old mechanic, which has been adapted into a diabolically hard iOS game called Snow Roll . In it, you play a penguin that can only move diagonally as you race down a mountain slope while riding atop a giant snowball. Like Flappy Bird, it’s simple enough that an amoeba could play it, yet requires so much dexterity that you feel accomplished for surviving just 10 seconds.
Like many other endless runners, Snow Roll generates what’s in front of you dynamically....
