Description

Have a ball escalating the arms race in this cold war. Show “snow” mercy because revenge is a game best served cold!

Gameplay

Aim to Freeze gameplay from Toothy's side.

The game gives the player a choice of "1 Player" or "2 Players". In "1 Player", the player controls Toothy, while Lumpy, the opponent, is computer-controlled. The "2 Players" mode is on a single screen and device, with the second player controlling Lumpy.

The game uses a mouse. Move the cursor to decide on where to aim the player's snowball. Click and drag the cursor to decide the Stretch power, after which releasing the mouse button will make Toothy or Lumpy throw the snowball, where the snowball lands are determined by the throw Angle and Stretch power. Hitting the opponent with the snowball will add one point to the thrower's win count. If the opponent is hurt three times, he will freeze and then shatter, ending the game. The opponent's position is random every round. Other than the opponent, there are buckets of water that freeze any snowball thrown into them, giving the character that pulled it off another chance to throw using the frozen snowball. If this snowball hits the opponent, he will die immediately regardless of how many hits he received prior.

Prerelease and unused content

A sample of unused Ren & Stimpy's Robin Hoek sprites remaining in the game.

Aim to Freeze is a reskin of Ren & Stimpy's Robin Hoek, which shares the same gameplay. Decompiling the Flash file for Aim to Freeze shows unused sprites from Robin Hoek. Toothy and Lumpy are stand-ins for Ren and Stimpy respectively, the snowballs replace arrows, and the water buckets replace the torches. Despite this, there are still differences:

• In Robin Hoek, the torches are placed behind the characters, while the water buckets are placed randomly on the playfield in Aim to Freeze.
• Robin Hoek has chickens as another type of ammo by hitting one on the playfield with the arrow. Aim to Freeze has no such equivalent.
