INSTRUCTIONS

Race through each level while collecting as many fish as you can. But hurry! An avalanche of snow and a daunting rock slide are fast approaching! Don't let them topple over you. You must reach the hut at the end of each level with at least 15 fish before the avalanche or rock slide reaches you. To help you, collect a spinning orb in each level to gain the ability to slide across the ground!

CONTROLS

  • LEFT ARROW = Move Left
  • RIGHT ARROW = Move Right
  • Z = Jump
  • X (if spinning orb collected) = Slide
