The game – Eskimo

Little Eskimo boy is late for supper. It is your mission, should you choose to accept it, to guide the little fella back to his igloo.

This is a Box2D game, and the controls are very simple. Tilt the device and the Eskimo will move. If you tap the screen, the Eskimo switches shape between a snow ball and a block of ice, each shape with its own physical characteristics and degrees of maneuverability. The ball has a higher friction, for instance, and the block of ice has none.

And the only way the Eskimo may reach his destination is by hitting the gravity switches spread out all over the screen.

Eskimo combines elements from an arcade game with elements of a puzzle game, as each level was planned with one perfect solution in mind as to how to take the little Eskimo home. Note, however, that multiple solutions are possible.
