Description from the packaging.

Easy to learn, difficult to master.

Icebreaker is about destroying pyramids. Pyramids are bad. They are evil and nasty. You're outnumbered and alone. All you've got are your wits and cunning. Oh yeah. And a real big plasma blaster. You face a bunch of different species of pyramids in Icebreaker. Some just stand there, waiting to be shot or rammed. Others- the dreaded Seekers- chase you around and try to whack you. Some pyramids are destroyed with the first shot; others take many shots. Some are smart. Some are dumb. Some regenerate. Some are immune to your plasma blaster. Oh well.

To survive, you've got to move around a lot. Unfortunately, you can't trust the very ground you stand on. There's slippery ice. And swamp. And lava. And pits.

There are 150 increasingly challenging levels packed into this game, each providing its own special challenges. Your job is to clear each one, at your choice of four difficulty settings- from Easy to Insane.

Product features:

  • 150 challenging levels. Play any level you want!
  • Three-quarter view scrolling screen for huge game feel.
  • Four variable skill settings from Easy to Insane.
  • Built-in tutorial.
  • Beautiful SGI rendered cinematic sequences.
  • High quality digital music and sound effects.
  • Slippery ice, steaming swamps, lethal lava and bottomless pits permeate the hazardous terrain.
  • Shatter the blue, blast the red, and lure the yellow to do your dirty work. One wrong move and you're in the pits.
  • Shoot a Meanie and you've got two Nasties. Shoot a Nastie and you've got two Grumpies. It's a survival of the fittest in a population out of control.
