Arctic Quest 2

About

Arctic Quest 2 is a single player puzzle game where you stop the Snow King's son from freezing the world. Your goal is to capture shards of ice and fit them into animal outlines to bring creatures back to life. The challenge comes from managing your grid carefully because filling the surrounding water with too much ice means you lose. You will also encounter special mechanics like fire elements that can destroy your work or water tools that help fill empty spots. This sequel includes one hundred levels that test your spatial reasoning and planning skills against a new antagonist. The game features updated graphics and sound effects that improve on the original without changing the core loop. Players often enjoy the branching storyline which adds some variety to the standard puzzle format. Alawar kept the controls simple so anyone can jump in, but the later levels require real strategy to avoid accidental failures. It is a solid entry for people who like inlay puzzles and want something with a clear winter theme. The difficulty ramps up gradually as you progress through the hundred stages.

Storyline

In the first Arctic Quest, players defeated the Snow King, who was turning Earth into an icy prison for all living creatures. Now, his son sets out to finish the task. To foil his evil plans, you must solve 100 inlay puzzles. Each one will challenge you to capture shards of ice and then place them within the outline of an exotic creature to bring it back to life. Allow the surrounding waters to fill up with excess ice, though, and you'll lose. Arctic Quest 2 brings more than new levels to the table, it also offers amazing new visuals and audio effects, a branching storyline and spectacular twists. The latter includes water elements that can fill in the empty pieces of a puzzle and fire elements that can wipe out all of your hard work! Easy to learn and fun to play, Arctic Quest 2 will please fans and newcomers alike.
