Tooth Protectors

In this game, you are T. P., the Tooth Protector, and are trying to protect some teeth from tooth decay by the Snack Attacks.

You must deflect the crumbs back up, hopefully hitting Snack Attack or a falling crumb for points. Each round is time-limited. You play until the time runs out then you get bonus points depending on weather you lost any teeth and how many. Occasionally, Snack Attack will try to swoop down and grab you. If you are caught, you lose a man. If one or more of your teeth are in danger of being lost, indicated by it flashin...
