Floe Flingers
Blast a sled-riding vole off an ice ramp, glide and bounce across the floes, grab fish, then upgrade the cannon in the igloo workshop. The wind follows your own clock: dusk gives a roaring tailwind, midday fights you.

Designer’s note
Idle launchers hide their skill in the upgrade screen; we wanted a little in the cannon too, so the gauge has a sweet spot and the wind matters. In everyday play the weather follows your own clock. In the daily and weekly runs it is fixed for everyone, and nothing is saved, so six flights is all you get.
