## Description
The player here controls a little snow mouse, frantically walking backwards
atop a ball of snow that doesn’t start out so big, but soon picks up both
speed and mass as it hurtles down what is revealed to be something akin to a
ski hill. Not a very well-maintained one, though — there are rocks in the
path which will knock the mouse violently from its perch should the snowball
roll over them; instead, with a mouse click the on-screen mouse hops up in the
air and somehow, like the invisible yo-yo connecting Tony Hawk’s skateboard to
his feet, the snowball sympathetically leaps up in the air also, both clearing
the obstacle.
The further along the course the mouse gets, the steeper the hill becomes, the
faster the scenery (and obstacles) approach and the larger the snowball
becomes, all forces conspiring to drastically reduce the response time
required to reflexively jump over every rock in the way. But with practice and
training, the player can manage to steer this unlikely winter athlete to the
end of the course successfully.
