Thin Ice

Thin Ice is a game by Nitrome. It is an indirect sequel to Frost Bite, and an indirect prequel to Frost Bite 2. The player must control the Eskimo to skate around enemies, cut the ice, and drop the enemies into the water. The player can collect Food, power-ups, and Bonus Letters to get extra points, too. It is widely similar to the Intellivision game of the same name.

Furry Creature

Furry Horned Creature
These enemies walk up and down. They have a fixed speed as well (slow).

Horned Jumping Creature
These enemies have horns and jump up and down while following you. They move quickly, but they also move slow at times, especially when the Eskimo is not in their sight.

Two Legged Bull
This monster appears in Frost Bite and Frost Bite 2. They will charge towards the Eskimo when it sees her. They can fall into water by walking into it, or by falling after the ice beneath it has been cut. They move fast when charging, and slow when walking.

Flying Monster
These monsters drop eggs, which create small blasts, when they are flying. They can only be dropped into water while they are on land.

Ice Shooting Creature
These monsters move around and will shoot out three pieces of ice that will go up in the sky, come down, and try to hit the player.

Giant White Walrus
These monsters are big, and they will stay in one place. Their only attack is to jump up and make a large blast. They appear in Frost Bite 2.

Bird Monster
These monsters come in three versions: big, medium, and small. They multiply a few seconds after they have been dropped in the water. The big sized version monster will turn into two medium monsters after falling into the water, then each medium sized monster turns into two small monsters after falling into the water.



Underwater Worm
This monster cannot be killed because it is already underwater, but it will follow the Eskimo. Once the Underwater Ice Worm reaches the Eskimo's resting place, he will break out of the ice in an attempt to injure her. The player can see him by his shadow underneath the water.

Ice Crystals
These will freeze the Eskimo in a block of ice for a couple of seconds. During this time, the player keeps the same momentum that she had while she slid into it. The Eskimo is also vulnerable to damage.

Snow Balls
These will roll completely one way, respawn, and come back the same way again. They will not hurt enemies.

Spinning Spike Heads
These will be spinning, either fast or slow. If the Eskimo touches any part of the hazard, she will receive damage.

Thin Ice
When the Eskimo skates on thin ice, she will fall in it. The ice has small cracks in it, and the player can see the water underneath it.
