Just a short post to let you know that we have made a slight adjustment to Icebreaker: The Gathering to prevent the "game complete" screen from coming up after the end of each clan after you have completed all of the levels. The fix will allow you to carry on with the next clan at this point and thus achieve a higher score.

In the fifth instalment of Icebreaker: The Gathering we meet the Hunter Clan. What are their fur hats made of? Help them rescue all of their clan and watch out for a weird new type of rock that allows you to add in pins to hold it steady. Using this in combination with your power to slice the ice you should be able to help our viking friends escape the frozen perils of the glaciers and get back to their longboat.

The Red-Heads are back in part four of our Icebreaker: The Gathering levels. The Red Clan have gotten themselves into a bit of bother with a new level element: metal chains. These chains steadily hold objects together but they can't be cut through so you must use your puzzle-solving skills to figure out how to get the Reds to safety!
