Ice Reel

About this game

Ice Reel is a one-thumb arcade catcher set out on the open ice. Fish drop from above, bombs drop along with them, and your net is the only thing standing between a rising score and a lost heart.

Slide left and right to line up the catch. Every fish you land adds to your score and pushes your combo higher. Let one slip past and the combo resets, so the pressure is on to keep the streak running.

HOW IT PLAYS

Drag anywhere on the screen to move; the whole game works with one thumb
Three hearts per run, and every bomb you catch costs you one
Four catches in a row raise your multiplier, all the way up to ten times
A single miss drops the multiplier back to the start
KNOW YOUR CATCH

Lil' Blues are small and quick, and pay more than their size suggests
Huge Reds are the steady earners that keep a streak going
Big Oranges are worth the most, if you can get under them in time
THE ICE SPEEDS UP The longer a run lasts, the faster everything falls and the more bombs join the drop. A pace that felt comfortable in the first thirty seconds will not stay that way, and every extra second is worth more than the last.

CARD COLLECTION Eight cards to track down, from the lantern and the rod to the catch of the day. Cards come out of chests, and chests are bought with coins your runs have earned. Nothing is bought with real money.

CLAN STANDINGS See where your best run places on the clan board, with your own line pinned underneath so you always know your rank. The roster is made up of in-game rivals, which keeps the board working with no account and no connection.

MADE FOR SHORT SESSIONS

Music, sound effects and vibration each have their own switch
Runs start instantly, so a session fits into a spare minute
Reel in a bigger catch than last time, keep the streak alive a little longer, and see how far up the board you can push before the third heart goes.
