About Arctictopia
Artictopia is a puzzle game set in the icy seas of the Arctic. Navigate a safe route for the parent polar bear to save the cubs.
Every time you move the parent polar bear, the ice under your feet will melt more and more. The game has 150 stages in total. As the stage progresses, the parent polar bear will face various new difficulties and ways to interact and solve the stage.
There is no time limit, so explore and move along the ice carefully.
A unique and fascinating arctic world and story told with adorable illustrations like a hand-drawn picture book.
The polar bears and their cubs are also joined by seals and seabirds and other arctic creatures.
This is a game that will soothe those who are tired of the harsh world.
Comment from Producer KobaP
“A polar bear parent and child separated by the drift flows that have begun to melt. Solve the ice puzzle as quickly as possible and help the mother and child reunite!
A healing puzzle that is a must-see for fans of animals and lovely hugs.”
