About Avalanche

You control a small character, and your only goal is to survive by climbing higher. Blocks fall from the top of the screen, and you must jump from your current platform onto these new ones as they land. If you miss a jump or a block falls past you without providing a new foothold, you fall into the empty space below and the game ends. The mechanics are minimal: you move left and right to position yourself, and time your jump to land on the next descending block. The pace starts slow but steadily increases, forcing quicker decisions as the blocks drop faster and from different horizontal positions. It creates a tense, focused feeling, where your entire world shrinks to the next falling rectangle and the jump button.
