Freeze!

It was a wonderful day for our anonymous hero, at least until the moment when he was torn from his loved ones by a viciously sharp grappling hook.

Locked in a cramped cell on a planet far, far away, our hero could give in to despair and abandon himself to his fate. But with your help he can overcome gravity, turn worlds, and even – escape!

Solving the rotating, physics-based puzzles is easy; just use your finger to continuously turn the cell in both directions around our hero. Of course you also have to make clever use of the Freeze! button, which can overcome gravity. Sound simple? It is – at first...

Freeze! offers completely new and yet immediately intuitive game mechanics, delightfully gloomy graphics from the internationally renowned pop-up designer and illustrator Jonas Schenk, and a very sinister soundtrack from noted Swiss electronic/trance musician Karl Lukas. 

Highlights of Freeze!

* use intuitive touch screen control to turn our hero’s cell
* take on lasers, deadly traps, and cruel opponents
* unique style of illustration and collage just looks really good 
* wonderful gloomy soundtrack from Swiss trance master Karl Lukas
* GameCenter Leaderboards & Achievements – who can escape the prison worlds the fastest?

### 3/5 — Great game, shame about the sound

*2026-05-04, version 2.04*

Have loved this game for years but unfortunately my music stops when I open the app.

### 5/5 — Timeless

*2026-03-30, version 2.04*

Freeze! is a classic, timeless escape game. You really can lose yourself in time playing this game.

### 5/5 — Buen juego

*2025-05-03, version 2.04*

Es un juego si olé pero entretenido si buscas algo para des aburrirte y estimular tu mente está es una buena opción además de que no hay comerciales

### 4/5 — Available

*2024-10-23, version 2.04*

Fun but ao wish there were more Freeze! buttons

### 5/5 — Five Star Game

*2024-09-25, version 2.04*

How do you not give this game a top rating? 
It’s totally free, it has NO ADS, and it’s a premium quality game.
Thank you for making your excellent Freeze 1 and 2 games free for all. This developer deserves our support.

### 5/5 — An old game but still good.

*2023-12-03, version 2.04*

I downloaded this game quite some time ago. It was available for free or discounted at some point. I don’t remember but I haven’t played it and I noticed it does not offload. So I opened it and started playing.

Considering some of the reviews go back 10 or 11 years I’m going to guess this was an early app for the iPhone. It holds up nicely. Even with all the capabilities that the iPhone has now this game doesn’t suffer from its own simplicity. In fact I don’t think other puzzle games have advanced much beyond what this game is.

I’ve only played about the first 10 puzzles and the puzzles have gotten progressively harder. I hope there are more changes as the game goes on. It is entertaining. Being a casual game it’s not something you dedicate hours to really. You pull it out when you’re waiting at the DMV, sitting in the lunch room at work, waiting for your order to come up at the restaurant, etc. Great game in small doses. But you don’t have to take it in small doses…

### 3/5 — Bonus levels

*2022-01-25, version 2.04*

It says I unlocked the bonus but won’t allow me to play them. The game is pretty decent other than this issue.

### 5/5 — Fun

*2021-11-26, version 2.01*

Challenging but not too frustrating. The difficulty level is great. The physics work perfectly.

### 5/5 — Cool Concept

*2021-11-17, version 2.01*

I like the B&W graphics. It’s a simple yet challenging physics game. You sometimes have to try every single move even the one that doesn’t seem like it’s it. It will have you stumped thinking it’s impossible but keep trying! This would be fun on long car rides or on the bus.

### 5/5 — Fun

*2021-11-16, version 2.01*

I just downloaded this game and it’s great. No fees, no ads, just fun! Levels get harder and more challenging. Great game. Keep up the good work.
