About this game

Avalanche is a paddle game of speed and dexterity for one or two players. An avalanche of rocks is poised overhead, ready to pummel you. The object is to score as many points as possible by absorbing the falling rocks with a series of shields before the rocks hit the ground. You maneuver your shields back and forth across the screen by turning the knob of your Paddle Controller. Your chosen bonus level determines the number of misses you're allowed and the number of points you must obtain to earn an extra turn. Compete against your own best score or against another player.
