Bend the pine. Fly the troll.
The snow troll from Avalanche Kick has found a new way to travel: he bends a giant pine all the way to the ground and lets it go. Hold to bend, release in the green zone and watch him soar over the snowy forest. How far can you send him?
How to play
- Bend: hold the button to pull the pine back. Release while the needle is in the green PERFECT zone for the strongest launch. Hold too long and the treetop cracks.
- Glide: hold again in the air to spread the troll’s arms and glide. Gliding uses stamina. Pine cones refill it.
- Bounce: land on a treetop to bounce back into the sky. Tap just before you touch it for a PERFECT bounce that keeps your speed. Watch out for the trunks!
- Land: glide in low and flat for a long slide in the snow. Drop straight down and the troll gets stuck with a plop.
Updrafts and wind
Shimmering columns of rising air lift the troll while he glides. Every forest also has its own wind, shown at the top of the screen. A tailwind carries you further, while a headwind slows you down.
Daily Forest
Every day there is a new Daily Forest with the same trees, cones and wind for every player until midnight UTC. Retry as often as you like and climb the daily leaderboard. Challenge a friend with a link and see who flies furthest.
Part of Troll Games
Pine Launch is part of Troll Games, a series of short one-button games starring the same snow troll. Each flight lasts 10–30 seconds, so there is always time for one more launch. Your achievements earn Saga XP on SagaArcade.
FAQ
Is Pine Launch free?
Yes. Pine Launch is completely free to play in your browser. There are no upgrades or paid advantages, so everyone flies with the same troll.
How do I get a perfect launch?
Hold to bend the pine and let go while the needle is in the green PERFECT zone. Hold too long and the treetop cracks, which gives a weak launch.
How does gliding work?
Hold while the troll is in the air to spread his arms and glide. Gliding uses stamina, shown by the bar at the bottom. Pine cones refill it, and the shimmering updrafts lift you while you glide.
How do treetop bounces work?
Land on top of a pine to bounce back up. Tap just before you touch the treetop for a PERFECT bounce that keeps your speed. Flying into a trunk stops you almost completely.
What is the Daily Forest?
A new forest and wind every day, the same for everyone until midnight UTC. Retry as often as you like and compare your best distance on the daily leaderboard.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. Everything is played by holding and releasing one button, so it works on phones and tablets as well as with a mouse or keyboard.
