About Avalanche

Manipulate a multi-storied platform using a spinner-knob to intercept falling rocks before they hit the ground. Clearing one of the six rows of rocks reduces the player's platform height by one level. As rocks descend from higher rows, they become smaller and faster, increasing the difficulty of maintaining a high score.

Player layout in our catalog: 2P alt.

If you are exploring by feel rather than by title, jump from the tags above into the matching genre rooms, or return to the Arcade hall for the full wall.

Open Play on this page to start Avalanche. Keyboard, USB/Bluetooth pads, and the on-screen touch gamepad all work inside the emulator bar. Save states and fullscreen live on that same bar so you can pause mid-session and resume later.
