Frost Bite

Well, I thought it was decent. I found it a bit too slow for my taste, such as when waiting for elevators to make their rounds, but it may just be my computer. I loved the art style as usual. I was expecting Hot Air 2 to be released soon, and I hope it does, because I'm really looking forward to it!

Cute game, fun music...nice diversion during lunch at work. Screens take way to long to load for a game like this. I gave up after a while. A game like this should load in less than 30 seconds.

Doesn't work in firefox for me

then i tried IE, it worked up untill level 3, then it kept loading, restarted but all i get is white ...

I thought it was cute, but I got stuck on level 2. Can't figure out how to get past the rock cliffs. Got onto them, but cant get past them. Fun game though.

If it doesnt work for you on nitrome, try going through miniclips.

Fun game, nice graphics and music, I just loved it!

I really like this game, especially because I am a fool for pixel-art at the moment. I am not much of a keyboard/mouse-acrobat, however, which is why I'm finding navigating the little Inuit over platforms slippery with ice too frustrating at stage 7.

It does work with my 2.0.0.2 version of FF (don't know about other versions though).

Hey this game is fun!

Playing this game reminds me of Mario+Bionic Commando (you know you remember this game!!!) with a Neo Geo feel. The game play is a little slow, but then again, I only played until the 3rd level. Does it get faster? In all this was a great flash game, kind of a blast from the past.

Game doesn't load in Safari 2.0.4 (419.3 for Intel).

Yes, Darius, it does get faster.

I finally made it to the tenth stage; there are some levels in which you have to dodge giant snowballs rolling down the hill you have to climb; you will also find levels that rely heavily on the handles (I can't remember the correct English word) that you can't jump on, so you'll be grappling your way up the mountain only relying on your trusty hook gun, with no place to rest. I can tell you, there is nothing contemplative about that ;).

Sorry for double posting, but I forgot the rotating morning stars in my list of hectic-klick-inducing obstacles/monsters...
I just completed the game (10th stage); for me, the hardest part was the middle stages (with the aforementioned morning stars).

It's been fun to play. I am stuck on the last stage of the tenth level. How do I kill the monster cyborg?!?

Kyle:
Hint...

You need to imitate Odysseus...

Shoot the monster's eye at point blank range. The eye will fall out and go rolling around the room. While the monster stands stunned with pain and surprise, jump on the pupil (of the eye ;-). Repeat.

I enjoyed Frost Bite quite a bit, being a sucker for old-school pixel graphics, but there were a few problems/bugs:

1) When you complete a level, the game doesn't save your progress if you quit immediately. You have to progress to the next level and *then* quit, or the map won't advance you to the next mountain. Quitting immediately means you start over from the beginning of the level you just finished.

2) Health boosts don't replenish when you die, which is a weird game design choice. If I didn't make it through the level *with* the health boosts, why do you think I'll make it *without* them? This is somewhat ameliorated by the fact that monsters don't replenish either, but that's no help with those levels that are mostly mechanically dangerous.

3) There are clickable links just outside the play area! My cursor wandered outside the boundaries for a moment, and I clicked something that took me to a new page. It opened in the same window, no less, so I lost my game-in-progress.

4) There's a death-bug in the last boss battle. I killed the final boss with one bar of health and one life remaining. Then, walking across the floor to the exit, game over! I thought it might be a fluke, but I tried again next time I beat him (with more than one life bar left!), and was able to injure myself just walking around on the bare floor. Perhaps shards from the falling icicles were still present? Regardless, it was quite an anticlimax.

There were a few more small issues, like edge detection (I fell through a corner between two diagonally adjacent crumbling-stone squares) and inconsistent hooking (sometimes your hook will catch only while you're jumping, sometimes not). But those are probably a lot harder to ferret out. And, overall, the game was playable and nostalgialicious.

I played this game and beat it. (After dying on level 7) So a few days later I came back and played it again and played it all the way through, and got to lvl 10 without dying. I died on lvl 10, though. But I got #9 on the Hi Scores. I also got all the bonuses up to there, so...yeah.

i thorght the game was good but it could have a bit more action like if you stand on something snow cold fall down and give you frost bite aka lose a life.

ive finally completed frost bite.
i agree it isnt very challenging or fast but its fun :)

how do u get past level 7? i keep dying during the rolling snowball stage,,

How do you kill the monster on level 10? Please help

ok am i the only one who has trouble on levle 4 on the hook stage?

i like this game it is cute but i wish there was a easier way to go past the perilous peak because i've never went past it!!!

Wow, this game is AWESOME! Nitrome sure should win some awards! I'm only on slippy summit, but i've benn playing hot air a lot. the goat-like guys are kinda weird, but then so are most of the other monsters!lol

whoa, you're right! anonymous! i just got to perilous peak, and even the beginning looks ominous! i hope i get past it!

i cant belive that you cant grab on to the solid rock

eskimo adventure
Im stuck on that one too!
Although here are some hints that may help you out a little:
Always click on the centre of the hooks,I know its a touch hard not to panic as soon as the first hook lifts you up, clicking everywhere to prevent falling into the spikes.
And also when you do fall, try moving to the left or the right with your arrow keys to stop yourself falling on the spikes. Lastly, dont give up! keep trying, and with practice and determination you will beat the level!
Best Of luck,

this game is SO cute and fun!! i love the music lol
can anyone tell me how to kill that caterpillar monster in level 5? the one that is in a cave with only hooks..but i cant hit him, so...what should i do?

seriously, how do you get past level 7???

I really need help getting past the of level 4 where you have to use the hooks. Any hints?

FIRST BOSS SPOILER!

This game is really nice, as all other nitrome games. The caterpillar boss is quite easy. Use the grappling hooks to jump over him when he comes forward, and shoot him from behind.

Though, i'm stuck on the last level (mount neverest), because i have no idea how to beat that last boss. I can get his eye out, but shooting him, shooting his eye, letting the icicles fall on him/his eye/jumping on his eye has no effect whatsoever. I wouldn't mind a spoiler.
