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.

The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
