IceBreaker is a game similar to Jezzball or Barrack. So, uh, there's a bunch of
|
|
penguins on an iceberg in Antarctica. You have been selected to catch them so
|
|
they can be shipped to Finland, where they are essential to a secret plot for
|
|
world domination.
|
|
|
|
In order to trap the penguins, you'll need to break the iceberg into small
|
|
chunks. (They're afraid of water, for no apparent reason.) You do this by
|
|
melting lines in the ice with Special High-Tech GNU Tools.
|
|
|
|
If a penguin hits a line in progress, however, it vanishes with a loud noise,
|
|
and you lose a life. (Yes, a life. This story is really breaking down, isn't
|
|
it? But never fear -- I'll keep going until it's completely dead.)
|
|
|
|
Once 80% or more of the iceberg is gone, the remaining chunks are small enough
|
|
for shipping. Of course, if you manage to get rid of more than that, you'll
|
|
save on postage, thus earning you exponential amounts of Geek Cred (a.k.a.
|
|
"score").
|
|
|
|
After you ship off one batch of penguins, it's time to move on to the next.
|
|
Each subsequent 'berg will have one more penguin, and you'll have one more
|
|
life. This will continue until you lose, or until you exceed level one hundred
|
|
or so, which Ain't Gonna Happen.
