Our take on Arctictopia
The bounce point is the move-by-move route planning: players who want to advance without reconsidering their path may hit a wall as the ice melts beneath the bear. Retracing steps is available, but choosing a route remains central to progress.
What is Arctictopia?
Guide a mother polar bear across the Arctic Ocean to find her cub as the ice beneath her melts with each move.
Arctictopia has 150 levels built around 10 different mechanics, with route planning at the center of each puzzle. Its hand-drawn, picture-book-style setting depicts a cold North Pole, with a cub, seal, and puffin among the animals. Players can retrace their steps or try a different level, and the game allows puzzle-solving at a relaxed pace.
