Avalancher is a physics-based game that involves protecting an eskimo from the deadly force of an avalanche. Gameplay involves 3 steps: finding a safe haven, building a protective igloo, and then hoping for the best as the avalanche comes crashing down the mountain. There are twelve different slopes to unlock, with varying difficulty, and points are awarded based on the amount of health remaining after each avalanche as well as igloo efficiency (building a smaller igloo gets more points, but provides less protection).
