Game information

Avalanche

History

Spoiler
In the story for the game, the penguin on sled is trying to outrun an avalanche of snow so that she can get home to feed its babies.

In game

The player's object is reach the end of each level while trying to outrun an avalanche. The player controls the penguin with the arrow keys, using the right arrow to accelerate, the left arrow to brake, and the up arrow to jump. Holding down the up arrow while in the air will cause the penguin to rapidly flap its wings and gain a small boost of jump height.

The penguin can only die if she is overtaken by the avalanche, or if she falls down a ravine and off the screen. She can run into obstacles along the way, but these will only slow the penguin down and allow the avalanche to come closer.

Nitrome Must Die

In NMD

The penguin reappears as an enemy in Nitrome Must Die. She is not only fast, but the challenge level that she first appears on is very icy, slowing down the character's acceleration.
