Common questions
FAQCan I play this game alone?
Yes. You can melt ice, buy tools, and upgrade your power entirely on your own.
How do I get resources?
Resources come automatically from melting ice, so you do not need to do anything extra to collect them. Just keep your hairdryer — or whichever tool you have — aimed at ice and your total will climb on its own.
What do I do when a frozen room will not open?
Check the unlock conditions shown on screen for that room. If you need a tool you do not have, buy it first; if the problem is power level, run upgrades until you meet the requirement, using the time to melt other nearby ice for extra resources.
