Ice
You have to cut ice using your fingers and make it fall to your boat where your character will break it, provided the pieces are small enough.

Vikings
The goal of each level is to free the vikings trapped all around the place. They can be encased in ice or stand in remote locations. Viings can collect coins, which are needed to unlock more levels.

A level is completed when all vikings are on the boat at the same time.

Dangers
Some levels contain different hazards that will kill vikings on contact. Those may consist in trolls that will eat your vikings, deadly surfaces or water.

System
The game sets "prices" for some areas, forcing the player to collect coins to unlock more levels. Each level also features a maximum cut counter, completing the level within this cut limit is called "par" (see golf for reference). Some levels require that you achieved the "par" on a certain number of levels to be unlocked.

Visual Art
The game features 2D cartoonish art. The characters are depicted as massive heads with no limbs or close.

Sound Design
The game features chip-tune medieval sounding music with traditional northern inspirations.
