It's simple, but better than nothing. I started late and so there is much left to do. Animations are missing and the graphics in general need additional work and variation. There would have been so much more possible if I had started right away.\r\n\r\nI tried to incorporate both themes in my game. So you have two buttons (cursor keys left and right) to control an avalanche triggered by a snow goat. The goal is to let the avalanche grow as large as possible. The snowball grows slowly, so it isn't noticeable in a short run.\r\n\r\nHTML\/Javascript","title":"Snow Goat Avalanche"}
