push sliding ice blocks into places and figure out where they should go?\u00a0 Well this whole game is just that.\u00a0 It\u2019s available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.<\/p>\n<p>There are 50 levels in all, and in each one, you move your bundled up character with the control stick or D-pad and press the button to push ice blocks.\u00a0 They will slide until they hit the snow border or another ice block, and you must figure out how to get them to certain spots on the playfield.\u00a0 When you do that, you can exit via a gate and start the next stage.\u00a0 If you mess up or get stuck, you can always start the level over by pressing the triangle button.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, this game has many problems, both minor and major.\u00a0 It gets really tough early on, and a hint feature would\u2019ve been nice, or maybe at least an option to reverse moves instead of having to start all the way over.\u00a0 Your character also walks around REALLY slow, like, 8-bit RPG slow.\u00a0 And finally, the game is pretty buggy.\u00a0 It wouldn\u2019t record trophy achievements sometimes and if you push blocks and they didn\u2019t line up quite right for some reason, you couldn\u2019t push them again even though it looked like you clearly could.\u00a0 I wouldn\u2019t think it would be possible in this day and age to mess up such a basic block pushing game concept, but they sure did here.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/shivering_screen\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-24207\"
