Development[edit | edit source]
Ice Beak was being worked on as far back as late October 2012[2] and was later released on December 6th[1]. Giuseppe Longo, the game's artist, created the game's art using a colour palette that was smaller than what was used for regular Nitrome games that use regular sized sprites. [3]
