Level 7[edit | edit source]
The player has to cut some ice off so the ice the top bomb is on will slide over to the beam connected to the rock, and the bomb gets near the rock. Now, detonate the bomb so that the the rock beam is swinging. Now, cut across the big slab of ice so it falls into the water, but make sure the bomb is in the same position it was in when the ice slab was there.
Now, cut the ice so the bomb moves down, then, when the bomb gets close to a link (silver circle) close to another link, detonate the bomb at the first link. This way, the hammer will come down, and push the ice the two vikings are in, onto the boat.

Incomplete section
This section is incomplete. You can help by adding the missing info.
- Ice Bomb - Ice Bombs are very powerful. They can take out whole chunks of ice or rock.
- Bolts - Are small, silver, and circular. They can hold things in one place and if one is attached to something, and there are no other links, the object can swing.
- Sign - If the player hovers their mouse cursor over the sign, instructions will appear in a box on a screen.
- Ropes - Brown cords that are always attached by bolts. When an object that has a rope on it is stationary and the object is dislodged, ropes will make the object swing.
- Wood - Wood appears in many levels, and they can be in many shapes. Wood cannot be sliced, and wood is lighter then rock.
- Rock - Rock cannot be sliced. It appears in many levels, and may sometimes have links in it. Rock is heavier then Wood.
- Crows - Crows are birds that will fly up. They always fly left. And they may sometimes have ropes attached to them.
- Shield links - Shield Links are links that are yellow, look like a shield, and bigger then usual links. These links will move in one direction, and cannot be made to go the opposite direction.

Slider differences[edit | edit source]
In the slider video of the game, screws, spotty rock and square shaped valkyries are seen in a First Clan's stage, despite these elements not appearing in those stages.
Level Editor leftovers[edit | edit source]
Some level editor leftovers can be found at "DefineSprite (1318)" and "DefineSprite (1333)". On the first one there's a menu to edit the level by snapping the objects and locking/unlocking them and a field to set the amount of moves allowed. On the second one there are buttons for the level editor, which features an early version of the ice bombs.

Trivia[edit | edit source]
- The Icebreaker series is the first Nitrome series to have three main games with the same gameplay. The Frost Bite series was the first to have three games before the Icebreaker series, with the third game, Thin Ice, being a spin-off with different gameplay from the previous Frost Bite games.
- The Icebreaker series holds the record for having the most sequels in one year, that being two Icebreaker Red Clan and Icebreaker Gathering. The Test Subject series has three games in one year but the third game (Test Subject Arena) was actually a spin-off.
- Every clan was not available to play when the game was first released. If player completed the first clan, they had to wait one week until the other clan was available to play.
- This game is the only Nitrome game which has feature called "I'm stuck". If the player feels that he/she cannot complete a level, and he/she has tried multiple times to complete the level, then he/she can press this button, and the next level will be unlocked in twenty-four hours.
