Description
The object of FrostByte Freddie is similar to Pengo in that you are a penguin that is stuck in a maze of Ice Blocks. It is your job to rid the maze of pesky SnoBees that are trying to kill FrostByte Freddie!

FrostByte Freddie (FBF) has several weapons at his disposal including:

- Crushing Ice Blocks
- Push Ice Blocks
- Freezing the SnoBees using the Walls
- Power Ups

Game Play

The game is played by either a single individual or two players simultaneously. In single player mode your objective is to kill all the SnoBees before the time runs out.

Two player mode can be played either competitively or cooperatively. It's up to you! Try both styles and see which you like best. (Hint See the "Scoring Section")

In order to kill the SnoBees, the best method is to crush them with an Ice Block. Alternatively you can Freeze one or more SnoBees by pressing against the Wall that the SnoBees are currently touching. This will cause the SnoBees to Freeze for a short period. This short period is determined by the difficulty level you choose and what level you are on.

Occasionally, you will find a Stun SnoBee powerup which Stuns All the SnoBees that are currently awake. If you see an Ice Block that is flashing GREEN, then you should try to Crush that block as it contains a sleeping SnoBee. Crushing these sooner rather than later will go a long way towards your survival!

Each level is timed. The higher the levels get, the shorter that amount of time becomes. If you don't kill all the SnoBees in the allotted amount of time, you will loose any bonus points you have accumulated for that level!
