Help the hero accomplish his mission by controlling him using the [wasd] or [arrow] keys, and some parts of the game also use the mouse. move with [a] and [d] or [left] and [right], [w] or [up] jumps, and [s] or [down] attacks with a three-strike combo. jumping on enemies is ineffective, so it's important to get used to using your weapons early on. you have a health bar at the bottom of the screen that decreases when you're struck by enemies. it can be restored by collecting health kits strewn throughout the caverns, though these are fairly uncommon and most of your healing will be done through continuing after being killed. while you can regenerate health over time as well, this is such a slow process that it's almost negligible so you shouldn't rely on it. as you progress through the game, you'll run into three bosses, including a homicidal pirate and a psychotic psychic. these battles are the high point of the game by far, each requiring you to adapt to a new strategy. you can also search for several hidden items throughout the game in order to unlock an additional fight against a secret boss. all in all, heart of ice is slightly longer than your average flash game. expect around 45 minutes to an hour of gameplay for your average player.
