Publizoid Meltdown is a simple, free arcade game designed to help you enjoy the next few moments. You play as a cheery ice-cube who is trying to keep the ice they are standing on frozen, while avoiding the fireballs raining down. Levels are time-bound, and you can choose the difficulty level that will make the game challenging (but not frustrating) for you. Please, do not feel any pressure to complete all levels. My wish is that this is a game that calms you, and brings a smile to your face.
