### 5/5 — Fun puzzle game

*2026-01-23*

I’m excited to see this classic game is back!

It’s a fun, straightforward game that doesn’t require a huge time investment to learn. You can play at your own pace. 

That said, I prefer the old art style. The new 3D graphics aren’t as cute and the snow animations are distracting and obscure the game field.

### 4/5 — Fun!

*2022-03-17*

Great game. Very challenging in spots. Be advised that there’s no support so you’re on your own.

### 4/5 — Ice breaker

*2022-01-28*

This reminds me of a board game that I played when I was little. It had plastic blocks of ice and you try to break them without getting the penguin  to fall down. Iced In gives me winter holiday vibes. 

In this game you try to free the penguin by moving ice blocks to the buttons. The graphics are 3D and silly. Games play starts out simple and gets more complex. A silly game that works your brain.

### 5/5 — I love it, Great came to wind down to!

*2021-12-10*

I played this game 7years ago & loved it. Very relaxing and challenging too. I thought I’d lost this forever & now it’s back!! 🥳
Thank you 🙏🏼

### 5/5 — Big fun

*2021-11-29*

It’s very funny game, my 7 year old son playing all day along.

### 4/5 — Looks easy

*2021-11-23*

It looks easy however it’s not as easy as you might think! 
Smooth graphics and play. Will try to get past the fifth puzzle tomorrow! I am stumped for now and it’s late!

### 4/5 — Excellent game

*2021-07-27*

Love this game.  Puzzles are challenging and interesting but not too hard.

Unfortunately there’s no hint feature and you cannot skip a level if you get stuck.  I am stuck on Episode-2, Level-15 and would like to play the remaining levels but cannot.

(I believe there is a bug in E2 L15 which makes it unsolvable.  Please prove me wrong or allow me to move past this level)

### 5/5 — So challenging!

*2019-09-28*

When you can’t get enough of Boxed-In, along comes Iced-In to keep your brain challenged and sharp as a tack!  Really like this one!
