Frost Summit

In the spirit of the classic ice-climbing platformer.

Climb the frozen mountain: type the block above to break it, then the hole to climb through. Mr. Pesar’s cats in knitted hats roll snowballs into your holes — and at you: type the hop letter to jump them.

How it plays

Each layer of ice is a row of characters. Break a block, climb through the hole, and keep going up. The cats patrol the layers, filling holes with snowballs — and when one is on your layer it pushes its snowball at you. A hop letter appears: type it in time and you jump the snowball.

Why it helps you read

Choosing a route means reading several characters and picking one — and the snowball adds a moment where speed counts.
