Free your Viking friends encased in ice - Time Waster

Nothing makes me feel better about -40 degree temperatures outside my house than seeing cartoonish people actually frozen solid.
Ice Breaker is an addictive little Flash game where your goal is to free your Viking comrades from their icy prisons. To do it, slice off chunks of ice so that they slide (or fall) into the waiting ship. The brutish fellow with the hammer will then break the ice and free his friends.

I finally get why you guys have a 'Time Waster' series. Could it be because that other site claims to be about productivity and getting things done?

Yin/yang! I mean, what better way to debunk GTD purists or newbies than to feature games that waste time. :)

This would be fun if it didn't take 15 minutes to load each level.
