About this game

Game Introduction

Jackfrost is a puzzle game released in February 2025 by Nitrome. You play as Jackfrost, a cheerful ice character, with the goal of covering every brick with ice to complete each level. The game offers single-player and two-player modes, suitable for all ages. You must strategically manage your ice supply by collecting snowflakes scattered around the location. Jump on enemies to temporarily freeze them into ice statues, but avoid direct contact to prevent losing a life. With three lives per round, careful planning is essential. The game uses HTML5 technology and works on all modern browsers.

How to Play

To start, choose a mode by clicking the icon with one or two characters. Your main task is to completely cover everything with ice. If any brick remains unfrozen, you cannot advance. Monitor your cold supply on the counter near the snowflake at the top. Replenish it by collecting snowflakes. Jump on enemies to turn them into ice statues, but note the freeze is temporary. Avoid swooping down on enemies without jumping, as this costs a life. You have three lives per round; losing all three ends the game. Use strategy to freeze all bricks efficiently.
