Story:

Many years ago, our old hero from „Freeze!“ was kidnapped from evil aliens and locked in a tiny cell on a planet far, far away. He never found his way back.
Now his little brother heads to the stars in his self-built rocket to find his lost brother and to free him from the clutches of the aliens!

Game Mechanics:

You’ll solve twisted physics-based puzzles by rotating the cells around our heroes with your finger. And of course you’ll have to use the Freeze-buttons to arrest gravity for the brothers. Sounds simple? Well, yes, it is – at first.

New in Freeze! 2:

The basic gameplay is the same as in „Freeze!“, but there are many exciting extensions: In the levels you’ll encounter liquids like water and deadly rocket fuel sloshing around. The brothers have to pass most levels together, fighting against lethal electric fields, smart batteries (what?!?) and slightly sadistic level design.

Highlights of Freeze! 2:

• Premium game, no ads, no IAPs, designed and developed by Andreas von Lepel
• New look and unique graphics by art director Jonas Schenk (jonasschenk.com)
• With surreal alien worlds by illustrator Jonas Littke (lufthoheit.com)
• 4 alien worlds, 100 varied and exciting levels, designed by Hiro Yamada
• New dark tracks from the Swiss Trance Master Karl Lukas (bit.do/karllukas)
• Simulation of fluids such as water and deadly rocket fuel
• High Scores and Achievements – who’ll escape fastest from the prison worlds?

• “Winner of the “Indie Prize Europe 2013”-Award – Casual Games Association
• “One of the 10 best games of 2013” – Android Quality Index

• “Freeze! is what you’d get if you commissioned Tim Burton to make some of those little plastic ball-mazes that you find (or at least used to find) in cereal boxes.
  The twisty-turny physics delights on offer here are cleverer, darker, and more devious than what’s on offer in your average casual puzzler.”
