'''Avalanche''' (full name '''Avalanche: A Penguin Adventure''') is a platform game [[Nitrome]] released for [[Miniclip]] December 22, [[2009]]. Players control a [[Penguin on Sled|penguin]] on a sled whose main goal is to outrun an avalanche. This game was made a [[Distributable games|distributable game]] on December 6th, [[2011]] and an HTML5 port was released during the time period of June 10th - August 12th, [[2021]]<ref>Cosmic Cannon HTML5 was released on June 9th and was the latest HTML5 release at the time. Avalanche was publicly present on Poki.com on August 12th according to [https://web.archive.org/web/20210812223955/https://poki.com/en/g/avalanche-html5 this page crawl] on Wayback Machine, the earliest know date it was known to be present on the website.</ref>.
 
Players can choose to play the game in two different modes. They can play through 15 levels, which require controlling the penguin until it reaches the designated finish line. A player can also play a survival mode, of which the player continues to slide away from the avalanche until it catches up or the player falls off the course.

==Controls==
*'''{{kbd|right}} Right arrow key''' - Move forward on sled
*'''{{kbd|left}} Left arrow key''' - Brake while moving
*'''{{kbd|up}} Up arrow key''' - Jump (hold [up] to stay in the air longer)

==Levels==
{{Incomplete/small}}
Avalanche has a total of fifteen levels, as well as a "survival mode" to see how long the [[penguin on toboggan]] can survive a course for.

===Survival mode===
In survival mode, the penguin is continually going over the same course. The goal of survival mode is to get a high score. The penguin can increase the score by picking up fish.

Every time the penguin goes over the course again, the avalanche is faster, and the enemies and hazards are trickier. The mode ends once the penguin falls down a gap, or is consumed by the [[snow avalanche]]. Every time the penguin goes back to play again, their highest score is shown.

==Pick ups==
:''Main article:'' [[Pick ups (Avalanche)]]
*'''[[Pick ups (Avalanche)#Fish|Fish]]''' - When the player picks up a fish, a certain amount of points are gained.

*'''[[Pick ups (Avalanche)#Rockets|Rockets]]''' - By picking up a rocket, the penguin will be rocketed in the direction they are going.
==Interactive objects==
:''Main article:'' [[Interactive objects (Avalanche)]]
*'''[[Interactive objects (Avalanche)#Rams|Rams]]''' - If the penguin lands on a ram, it will be thrown high into the air.

*'''[[Interactive objects (Avalanche)#Falling platforms|Falling platforms]]''' - Blocks of ice that make up some platforms. They fall once the penguin sleds over them.

*'''[[Interactive objects (Avalanche)#Ice|Ice]]''' - The penguin will gain speed once they sled on ice.

*'''[[Interactive objects (Avalanche)#Cable car|Cable car]]''' - The player will be taken up, then dropped off somewhere higher when they go in one.
==Enemies==
:''Main article:'' [[Enemies (Avalanche)]]
*'''[[Enemies (Avalanche)#Rabbits|Rabbits]]''' - The rabbits appear in some levels. The penguin can land on them as long as they are not out of their hole. If hit by one, the penguin slows down.
*'''[[Enemies (Avalanche)#Polar bears|Polar Bears]]''' - Sometimes bears run across the platform and can stop the penguin from moving for a brief moment.

==Hazards==
:''Main article:'' [[Hazards (Avalanche)]]
*'''[[Hazards (Avalanche)#Trees|Trees]]''' - If the player hits a tree, they will be immobile for a brief moment before they can move again. They are easily mistaken to be part of the background of the level.
*'''[[Hazards (Avalanche)#Snowballs|Snowballs]]''' - These can roll down hills and into the penguin's way. They will slow down the penguin if it hits them.
*'''[[Hazards (Avalanche)#Ice crystals|Ice crystals]]''' - Similar to the ones [[Ice crystals (Frost Bite)|that appear]] in [[Thin Ice]]. They will also slow the penguin down like the trees.
*'''[[Hazards (Avalanche)#Rocks|Rocks]]''' - They are similar to trees, except they cover a bit bigger area then the treas.
*'''[[Hazards (Avalanche)#Icicles|Icicles]]''' - Like [[Snowballs (Frost Bite)|the ones]] in the [[Frost Bite (Series)|Frost Bite series]]. They fall once the penguin sleds underneath them.
==Scoring==
Players are scored by the amount of fish they catch during the game, and the distance they travel. 
==Trivia==
[[File:Avalanche-icon.png|thumb|right|Notice the frowning face in the snow]]
*Avalanche was the last game in the [[2009]] winter trilogy.
*Unusually, Avalanche's [[List of Nitrome 1.0 icons|1.0 icon]] has a frowning face in the snow. This is possibly a reference to the frowning Nitrome face buttons used in the winter games section of Nitrome.com, since no other winter games would be coming.
