Our sleepy hero must stay ahead of the relentless avalanche that threatens the local mountainside. As we like to call him, Sven can use animals to help him escape the icy end. The animals on each mountainside have different attributes that allow for faster escapes. Penguins slide further, snowmen are tougher and eagles soar high above the ground, each providing Sven with a useful advantage. Sometimes on the slopes Sven can be found on a fast snowmobile, which can transport multiple animals and maintain a very high top speed.

Staying ahead of the avalanche has its advantages and benefits. Completing objectives "upgrades" Sven and increases his score multiplier. Riding the animals and performing backflips will increase your score and as your score multiplier increases, Sven will easily reach the top of the leaderboard.

In the game, players need to be quick and agile to avoid obstacles in the snow. Rocks, grass and ice can cause Sven to fall and slow down his escape. If you accidentally fall, you must quickly tap the screen to make Sven get up and keep running, otherwise he will be swamped by the avalanche following him. On the descent, you can press jump once if there is a ridge to glide further and faster.

On the way, you will also encounter objects such as wooden houses, hitching boards and signs, which can help the character glide if they are used properly, but can become another obstacle on the escape route if they are approached in the wrong way. For example, if the player can cut through the roof at the right angle, the curvature of the roof can be used to accelerate the slope, if the angle is not right, Sven will accidentally take a big fall.

The avalanche warning sign at the top left of the screen flashes constantly to warn you when a snowbank is approaching, and the exciting thing about the game is that you can already see the snow rushing behind you in your field of vision, and if you climb up and keep sliding, it's not impossible to shake off the approaching snowbank.

Bonus stats are available at the top of the game screen, which can be filled by collecting coins and completing difficult manoeuvres to activate advanced tools such as rocket ships, which you can ride with penguins and snow monsters to faraway places.

At the start of each game you are given a number of small tasks to complete, which are usually uncomplicated tasks such as completing difficult manoeuvres, collecting rewards and so on, for which you are given various rewards.
