About Ice Breaker
Ice Breaker is a 3D ice smashing game played along the frozen eaves of a long row of houses. Your pick slides along the roof on its own; hold to swing it up into the icicles and smash them, and let go before it hits a brick chimney or a pipe. Break enough of the ice before the finish line to clear the level.
The levels never run out. Every level is laid out from its own seed, with chimneys moved and added as you go, gold ice that pays coins from level 3, sliding chimneys from level 6, a Gold Rush bonus wall every fifth level and an Ice Fortress every tenth. The world changes every three levels, and so do the obstacles: brick chimneys on a snowy cottage, air-conditioning units on a sunset street, water tanks under the night lights, candy-cane chimneys in candy town, stone turrets on a frozen castle and carved idols on a jungle temple.
Coins buy new tools, from colour finishes and a real hammer, a kitchen knife, a giant fork and an ice spoon up to a line of ice tools: a wooden ice pick, a steel ice axe, a frost axe, an ice hammer, a crystal pick and a golden pickaxe, plus a Shield that survives chimney hits and a Coin Bonus. It runs in the browser on phones, tablets and computers with no download.

How to play Ice Breaker
- Tap the game to start the level; your pick moves along the roof on its own.
- Hold to lift the pick into the icicles and smash them; release to drop it back down.
- Let go before a brick chimney or a pipe, or your pick breaks.
- Break enough ice (the marker on the bar) before the finish line to clear the level.
Controls
- Computer
- Hold the left mouse button to smash, release to dodge.
- Phone and tablet
- Touch and hold the screen to smash, lift your finger to dodge.
Tips
- Short holds between chimneys break more ice than one long hold that ends in a crash.
- Gold ice is worth coins on top of the level reward, so it is worth a risky hold.
- Sliding chimneys move back and forth: wait for them to slide away before you hold.
- The Shield upgrade lets you survive one or two chimney hits per level.
