Frost Push
Shove ice blocks through a frozen maze so they slide and squash roaming frostlings, shatter pinned blocks to open lanes, and stop eggs from hatching.
The game's own interface may still be in English.
Overview
Frost Push drops you into a frozen cavern where every wall is ammunition. The 13-by-13 maze is packed with ice blocks, three immovable diamond pillars, and a handful of roaming frostlings that want to bump into you. You have no attack of your own — your only weapon is the push. Face an ice block and shove it: if the lane beyond is open, the block slides across the cavern until it strikes an obstacle, crushing every frostling in its path for 400 points apiece. If the block is pinned against a wall or another block, the push shatters it instead, carving a new lane through the maze for a small score. Some ice blocks hide frozen eggs; ignore them and they crack open into fresh frostlings, so the enemy count creeps back up unless you deal with the eggs first. Cornered frostlings retaliate by chewing straight through the ice, permanently reshaping your maze. Clear every frostling and every egg to open the next of six caverns, each denser and faster than the last.
How to Play
Press Start Game. Each arrow keypress steps one cell and turns you to face that direction; movement is deliberate, one tile at a time. Space pushes whatever block you face — slide if the far side is clear, shatter if it is not. On touch screens, tap the direction pad to step and PUSH to shove. P pauses, R restarts. The HUD's Left counter tracks living frostlings plus unhatched eggs; when it reaches zero you advance. Contact with a frostling costs a life and respawns you in the corner with brief invulnerability. Three lives, six caverns, and the run ends in triumph or on the wrong end of a frostling.
Tips & Strategy
Think in lanes, not chases. Before pushing anything, trace the slide path with your eyes: a good push is one where a frostling is already walking into the lane, because leading a moving target is how the 400-point crushes actually happen. The diamond pillars are your best friends — blocks parked against them stop at exact positions, so you can stage a loaded lane and wait like a trapper instead of skating around after prey. Deal with eggs early and violently: shattering an egg against a wall removes a future enemy for zero risk, while letting it hatch adds a hunter you must later crush. Never shatter blocks idly near your own corner — every block you remove is one less wall between you and a chewing frostling, and late-level mazes get sparse fast. When a frostling gets adjacent, do not run blindly; sidestep one cell and push the block between you — a point-blank slide is the most reliable kill in the game. Finally, watch the chew: a frostling eating through a wall announces a new flank, and hearing that crunch near your back means move now, not after one more push.
What Makes It Distinct
Most maze-chase games give you a gun or a sprint button. Frost Push gives you neither — the maze is both shield and weapon, and every push trades defense for offense because a block that slides away can no longer protect you. Combined with eggs that restock the enemy roster and frostlings that tunnel, the cavern is never the same puzzle twice within a single level.

Frequently asked questions
How do I actually defeat a frostling in Frost Push?
You cannot touch them — the only weapon is the maze itself. Push an ice block with a clear lane behind it and it slides until it hits something, flattening every frostling in its path for 400 points each.
What are the dark blocks with the oval inside?
Those are frozen eggs. Left alone they hatch into new frostlings after a while; shove them like normal ice to relocate them, or shatter them against a wall to remove the threat permanently.
Why did a frostling suddenly break through a wall of ice?
When a frostling has no free cell to step into, it chews through an adjacent ice block to escape. Maze damage is permanent for the level, so corners are never safe for long.
What is the deal with the glowing diamond blocks?
Diamond blocks can be neither pushed nor shattered. They are permanent fixtures you use as backstops: a block slid against a diamond stops dead, which lets you park crush-lanes exactly where you want them.
