Ending[]
This navigational box contains a spoiler. Click [show] to open the box.
Materials[]
Ice: The player is introduced to this material on the first level. Ice is immobile, and can easily be cut. Frozen vikings must be brought to the longboat for the captain to smash. However, if the ice is too big, the ice must be cut into smaller pieces.
Grey rock: This material is immobile and cannot be cut.
Ice Breaker was also ranked the 71st best game of 2009 by Gamasutra[1]
Development[]
Ice Breaker took around 6 weeks to make[2] and was being worked on during the development of Frost Bite 2, which was released on December 17th, 2008. The game was released on January 5th, 2009[3]. Nitrome decided on a whim to release it on this day as it was snowing in London on that day and it seemed appropriate given this circumstance[3]. The idea for the main game mechanic of Icebreaker originated from Chris Burt-Brown, the game's programmer, who thought of the idea when experimenting with Box 2D[4].
Trivia[]
Icebreaker Mobile
Mobile version of Ice Breaker
Ice Breaker was hinted in multiple games that were released prior to it.
In Frost Bite 2, there are frozen Vikings in blocks of ice on some platforms.
In Skywire 2, one of the passengers who rides the cable car is a Viking. This may have not been an intentional hint, however.
The Ice Breaker series is the first series to get two sequels in the same year it was released.
Icebreaker is playable on a mobile device on Kongregate's mobile app.
Spoiler
The longboat in the ending is moving right instead of left.
Mouse - Click and hold to drag a line. Letting go will cut the ice.
