Frozen Hippo for iOS

Frozen Hippo is an original SpriteKit arcade puzzler for iPhone and iPad. You guide a hippo-powered launcher through hand-built routes in Expedition mode or survive an endless pressure climb in Surge mode.

What Makes This Version Its Own Game

  • Original Swift codebase written specifically for iOS and SpriteKit
  • Distinct Frozen Hippo theme, UI framing, and character presentation
  • Two modes with different pacing: Expedition and Surge
  • A charge-based Frostburst mechanic that rewards successful clears and lets you crack nearby clusters with a powered shot
  • Optional colorblind bubble set and local high score tables

Controls

  • Tap above the launcher to fire
  • Tap near the launcher pocket to swap the active and reserve bubbles
  • In Settings, drag across the lower area to adjust music volume
