How to Play Melt All The Ice: The Basics
Melt All The Ice drops you into a fully frozen world created by The Frozen Studio. Your job is simple in concept: use heating tools (starting with a hairdryer-style device) to melt ice blocks, clear routes, and uncover what happened to the world. The game blends Adventure, Story, and Simulator elements into one progression loop.
The three systems you interact with constantly are:
Melting Tools
- Heating devices clear ice
- Power determines melt speed
- Upgrade or replace as ice gets thicker
Frozen Rooms
- Ice blocks routes between areas
- Clearing ice opens new rooms
- Some passages hide secrets
Upgrades
- Boost melting power and tool strength
- Directly controls progression pace
- Buy early, buy consistently
When you spawn, do not chase distant or thick ice. Melt the nearest blocks first to learn the mechanic and build enough resources for your first upgrade before exploring outward.
Step-by-Step: Your First Session
Follow this route during your first play session to progress without wasting early resources.
Melt Nearby Ice
Clear the blocks directly around the starting area. These melt fastest, teach the core mechanic, and generate your first upgrade resources.
Open Paths, Not Piles
Prioritize ice that blocks routes into unexplored sections over low-value ice in areas you already cleared. New paths mean new progression.
Buy Melting Power Early
Spend your first earnings on upgrades that increase melt speed. Every future farming cycle gets shorter the sooner you buy this.
Push Into New Areas
Move forward through newly opened frozen rooms. Keep alternating between clearing, upgrading, and advancing.
Loop Back for Leftovers
Ice you skipped because it was too slow can now be cleared quickly. Revisit old areas for missed rooms and resources.
Tools and Upgrades Priority
Upgrades are the engine of progression. Not all purchases are equal — the table below ranks what to buy and when.
| Upgrade | Effect | Priority | When to Buy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Melting Power | Increases ice clearing speed | S - Buy First | As soon as affordable in early game |
| Tool Strength | Keeps equipment effective vs stronger ice | A - High | When current ice melts noticeably slower |
| Progression Upgrades | Supports advancement into later areas | A - Medium | After core melting speed is strong |
| Higher-Cost Equipment | Large late-stage improvement | B - Situational | Save up once cheap upgrades lose value |
Do not save for expensive equipment early. Skipping cheap Melting Power upgrades to hoard currency slows down every farming cycle and delays your reach into new areas.
Room Types and How to Handle Them
| Room Type | What It Is | Recommended Approach |
|---|---|---|
| Starting Area | Opening zone, thin ice | Clear fully, learn mechanics |
| Connected Rooms | Spaces revealed by melting | Check room edges for hidden openings |
| Blocked Passages | Thick ice, slow to clear | Return later after upgrading |
| Side Paths | Optional routes off the main line | Explore after clearing nearby ice |
Classes and Progression Tips
The class system adds a second layer to progression by emphasizing different advantages. Choose based on how you like to play.
Melting-Focused
- Fastest ice clearing
- Best for pushing map progression
- Ideal for speed-oriented players
Progression-Focused
- Balanced benefits
- Consistent advancement through new areas
- Safe pick for new players
Farming-Focused
- Long-session efficiency
- Best for repeated resource collection
- Pairs with saving for big purchases
If a frozen barrier takes too long, walk away. Come back after one or two more upgrades and the same ice clears in a fraction of the time. Consistent upgrading beats brute-forcing any single wall.
Co-op Play Basics
Playing with others speeds things up when the work is divided:
| Co-op Task | How to Split It |
|---|---|
| Main route | One player pushes the forward path |
| Nearby ice | Others clear separate sections in parallel |
| Slow barriers | Regroup and focus together |
| New rooms | One checks forward route, others check corners |
Beginner Milestones Checklist
First Session Goals:
- Clear all ice in the starting area
- Purchase first Melting Power upgrade
- Open at least one route into a connected room
- Check corners and edges of every cleared room
- Return to one previously skipped barrier with better power
Hidden openings often sit behind partially melted walls and corner ice. Before leaving any cleared section, finish suspicious wall patches and check side routes — secret rooms are usually found this way.
How to Play Melt All The Ice: FAQ
Q: How do you play Melt All The Ice?
Use your heating tool to melt ice blocks, clear paths into frozen rooms, spend earnings on melting power and tool upgrades, then push into newly opened areas. The loop repeats with progressively thicker ice and stronger equipment.
Q: What should I upgrade first?
Melting Power is the strongest early purchase because it shortens every farming cycle. Follow with Tool Strength when ice starts melting noticeably slower, and save expensive equipment for later stages.
Q: What do I do when ice takes too long to melt?
Leave it and progress elsewhere. Return after another upgrade or two — the same barrier will clear much faster, and you avoid wasting time on walls your current tool is not meant to handle.
Q: Is Melt All The Ice better solo or in co-op?
Both work. Solo gives full control of pacing, while co-op is faster when players split tasks: one pushes the main route while others clear side sections and regroup for slow barriers.
