Powder Panic

Pick a hill

How to play

• Steer: tilt your device left and right. Or hold the left or right side of the screen, or use the arrow keys (A and D work too).
• Go fast: going straight tucks you in and speeds you up. Carving hard slows you down.
• Jump: tap the JUMP button (or Space, W or the up arrow) to hop over rocks, kids, strollers, animals, ravines and holes. You can’t hop over a tree.
• Ramps: ride up a snow ramp to fly for 40 points. The big ramp with gold flags sits right before a cliff: hit it for BIG AIR.
• Boost pads: ride over a glowing blue pad to shoot down the hill faster for a moment. Some sit right in front of a hazard, so look where you are going.
• Dodge: trees, rocks, parents pushing strollers and kids who throw snowballs. Packs of snow dogs, foxes and rams run in from the side. A bump costs a heart.
• Ravines: a crack across the whole mountain. Cross on the snow bridge between the red poles or you fall in.
• Cracking ground: when the snow cracks ahead, steer round it. It gives way just before you get there.
• Avalanche: on the big hills the mountain lets go behind you. Go straight to stay ahead until it runs out. If it catches you, the run is over.
• Near misses and jump-overs: pass close without touching for 25 points, or jump right over someone or something for 75. Each one in a row builds a combo (x2, x3 and up) worth extra points.
• Turbo: near misses, jump-overs, ravine leaps, ramps, clean landings and stars fill the orange ring on the TURBO button. Tap it (or Shift, E or B) for a burst of bullet speed. A full ring holds three bursts, and combos score double while it burns.
• Cliffs: the snow falls away and you fly. Steer to keep your skis level (the needle in the green) and land clean for 100 points. Land crooked and you wipe out.
• The yeti: near the bottom of every hill it comes after you. Tuck and go straight to stay ahead. If it catches you, the run is over.
• Medals: bronze for reaching the bottom, silver for losing one heart at most and grabbing half the stars, gold for no bumps and every landing clean.
