Snowy's Last Stand!

Mountain Invaders: Snowy's Last Stand!

Snowy, referred to by humans as an abominable snow creature, lives in the peaceful, woodland, mountainside realm of Oftenwhite with other woodland creatures. But humans, as they are wont to do, have been increasingly encroaching on Snowy's home. They are cutting down trees, blowing up parts of the mountain, and bulldozing earth away to clear way for roads, buildings, pistes (ski paths), and other human amenities and entertainments. The activity is about to destroy Snowy's peaceful mountain home, and what's more, hurt many more of Oftenwhite's other woodland creatures and the beautiful trees and other natural surroundings.

Guide Snowy in the creature's last stand for the safety and peaceful tranquility of Oftenwhite.  Hurl massive snowballs at the human equipment to incapacitate them! Rage at the invaders, stomping feet and growling! Will Snowy's last stand be enough to protect Oftenwhite?
