Tips & Strategy
Wall off enemies early – trap monsters behind ice before they corner you.
Plan your route so you don’t ice yourself into a dead end.
Grab clustered fruit first to reduce time spent in open lanes.
Watch enemy patterns – most move predictably; bait them into ice traps.
In co-op, split duties: one player blocks enemies while the other collects fruit.
