88/100

Icebreaker: A Viking Voyage is a relic of the golden age of mobile gaming that still holds up perfectly today. Developed by Nitrome, the game takes the 'slicing' mechanic popularized by Fruit Ninja and applies it to physics-based puzzles. Your goal is to cut ice, ropes, and timber to safely guide stranded Vikings back to their ship. The level of creativity here is staggering; one moment you're dealing with gravity-shifting magnets, and the next you're dodging giant trolls or explosive chickens.

What really sells the experience is the humor and the pixel art. Nitrome has a very specific, high-quality aesthetic, and the world of Icebreaker is full of quirky characters and funny dialogue. The difficulty curve is satisfyingly steep, requiring precise timing and a deep understanding of physics in the later stages. It’s a perfect example of a game that is easy to pick up but incredibly difficult to master, wrapped in a charming and funny package.

Tips & Walkthrough

Precision Slicing

When cutting ice, the angle matters. A slight tilt can cause the ice block to slide in a different direction. Take your time to align your finger before making the final swipe.

Managing the Crew

Different Vikings have different requirements. Some must be landed directly on the ship, while others might be trapped in blocks that need to be smashed first. Always plan your route from top to bottom.

Why Ice Breakers Is SUPER fun:

Wed Sep 28 2022 Lummox0cara

This game is SO fun!!!!!!! Ice breakers is kind of hard, but that makes it AWESOME!!!! Especially Isle Of The Goat. It was SO hard. I tried it like 3 times or something!! But that’s why its so fun!!!!!! But, I just don’t think it’s fair that you have to pay REAL MONEY for upgrades. (P.S. I wanted the give Ice Breakers a 4 and a half review but I couldn’t find out how.)

Amazing, Great Graphics, And Addicting!

Great game! I used to play this when I was about 5 years old, and when later on, my dad deleted it, because he had finished it. When I got much older, I really wanted to play it again, because for some odd reason, something reminded me of it. I searched everything that would relate to the title, and it could never find it. Then years later, I was about to go on my moms ipad, and suddenly I saw the game, and it reminded me so much of my childhood. Now, I love playing it and it's probably one of my favorite games! Also, I would love an update with more levels! Amazing game keep up the great work!

I ❤️ Nitrome

Imagine a world in which you buy a game and then don't have ads and in-app purchases constantly shoved down your throat. Seriously, close your eyes and dream. Now, buy a Nitrome game and experience that world. My love for Nitrome aside, Icebreaker is just plain fun, a great mobile puzzler with enough optional challenges to allow the novice to progress and the pro to squeeze some extra value and enjoyment out of this great game. Also, I love the 16-bit aesthetic. The sound design is phenomenal too. Get this game!

I want a refund

I had previously downloaded this app when it was free and played almost all of the levels that come with it, however when I went to re-download it today it said it would cost $6 and I thought “Oh, I guess they added more as a part of this. It was a fun game before and I want to see how it improved.” When I opened the app I was disappointed to find that not only was it the same in pretty much every way, it also requires me to pay not just to use the power ups but also to play any more of the story than I had access to as a free-to-play customer.

Awesome game

This game is actually my favorite game on the App Store right now. It’s great if you really need to pass the time but after you finish all the levels you feel like you want to play it again because it was so much fun. They should honestly add more levels or add a feature where you could create levels.

Seriously one of the best physics puzzlers out there

I slogged through Angry Birds like the best of us, but to to tell you the truth, it kinda got old. Not so for this gem. It keeps you engaged with unique puzzles, a great sense of humor, and even a little narrative from our Viking friends. And the gorgeous pixel art doesn't hurt a bit. Buy this if you're not cold hearted.

Lots of ideas!!!!!😀

Hey I just want to say I hope you guys at nitrome respond to this but I just want to tell you I have lots of ideas for a 5th chapter like it could be in a type of factory or another town like hammerfest of a castle and an underwater base but in Norse mythology there is so much you could do with this game.

Cool game ruined by impossible levels

Yet another one of these games with levels specifically designed to get you to waste your money. Came back after a few years to see the game I paid money to play is still treated like a f2p game. Only upside is no ads. Not going to spend more money on a paid game to beat it. Just stick to the crappy f2p games. At least those don’t hide their desire to get you to spend more and more.
