Snowball HillOriginal Title

Two snowmen on a snowy hill throw snowballs at each other in turns, through the wind. A snowball that lands digs a hole in the hill, and a snowman with nothing under him slides down into it. Each hit takes some of his snow, and the first to lose all of it loses the round. First to three rounds wins. Play one player against the computer, or two players.

On his turn a snowman can walk up to 40 steps. Besides the plain snowball, each snowman has special throws for the round: two icicles, which drill in and hit hard, one snow bomb, which bounces twice and leaves a big hole, and one gust, which blows the other snowman away.

The hill is drawn in the bitmap screen, so every pixel can be dug out and the snowball meets the hill pixel by pixel.

Controls: the player whose turn it is, on either joystick. Up and down set the angle, left and right walk, a tap of the button picks the next weapon, and holding the button swings the strength; let go to throw.
