Step-by-Step Guide
Ice Physics Introduction
Movement feels different in the ice levels! Your aircraft slides slightly after changing direction due to reduced traction. Make smaller, earlier movements to compensate. Practice in the starting area before enemies appear.
Crystal Formations
Shoot the blue ice crystals to clear paths and reveal hidden items. Some crystals explode and damage nearby enemies - use this strategically! Large crystals take 3 hits to break.
Frozen Enemy Patterns
Ice enemies move slower but shoot freezing projectiles. If hit by a freeze bullet (blue color), your movement speed is reduced by 50% for 3 seconds. Keep moving to avoid being frozen in place.
Crystal Golem Mini-Boss
At 70% progress, the Crystal Golem awakens. It's stationary but has 3 vulnerable spots (glowing blue cores). Destroy all 3 cores to defeat it. The Golem shoots ice shards in 8 directions every 4 seconds.
Enemy Guide
Ice Drone
(Basic Enemy)Tips: Slow-moving but shoots freeze projectiles. Prioritize destroying them before they can shoot.
Frost Bat
(Fast Enemy)Tips: Flies in erratic patterns through the cavern. Fast but fragile - one shot destroys them.
Crystal Golem
(Mini-Boss)Tips: Target the three blue cores. Destroy the top core first (easiest to hit), then sides. Dodge the 8-way ice shard pattern by positioning between the shards.
