Frostfall: Pip's Polar Quest

Hiroki Igarashi

About this game

Pip is a penguin chick with one idea: reach Onni, the Land of Dreams, somewhere beyond the sky.

Run, jump, slide and sling snowballs across five hand-built stages — a crisp blue morning, a burning summer dusk, a night field of shooting stars, the secret world under the sea ice, and the white-out blizzard where the north finally ends. Each one has its own music, its own weather and its own boss waiting at the far side.

• FIVE STAGES, FIVE BOSSES — a glacier golem, a frost kraken, an aurora wyrm, a frost shark and a blizzard bear, each with its own trick to work out.
• SHOPS — spend the clams you collect on an extra life, a double jump, a snow gun, and things you will have to find the door to buy.
• SECRETS — a hidden shop beneath the ice, a bonus ice water-slide, and more than one ending.
• 78 LANGUAGES — the whole game, including right-to-left scripts:
Arabic, Bengali, Catalan, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English (Australia), English (Canada), English (UK), English (US), Finnish, French (France), French (Canada), German, Greek, Gujarati, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Kannada, Korean, Malay, Malayalam, Marathi, Norwegian Bokmål, Odia, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Portuguese (Portugal), Punjabi, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish (Mexico), Spanish (Spain), Swedish, Tamil, Telugu, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Urdu, Vietnamese, Afrikaans, Albanian, Amharic, Armenian, Azerbaijani, Basque, Belarusian, Bulgarian, Burmese, Estonian, Filipino, Galician, Georgian, Icelandic, Kazakh, Khmer, Kyrgyz, Lao, Latvian, Lithuanian, Macedonian, Mongolian, Nepali, Persian, Romansh, Serbian, Sinhala, Swahili.
• DRAWN AND PLAYED BY THE GAME — every sprite is drawn by the game itself as it runs, and the soundtrack was composed and performed for it (the title theme is the composer's own arrangement of a public-domain children's song). There is a Music Hall in the settings if you just want to listen.
• PLAYS ANYWHERE — no internet, no account, no ads, no in-app purchases, nothing collected. Ever.

Tap anywhere to jump. Hold SLIDE to duck and stomp. Tap SHOOT once you own the Snow Gun. That is the whole control scheme, and it will still take you a while to see the north end.
