The new app Frost is a puzzle game in which you bring hundreds of lights to their destination. You do this in an almost meditative experience with soothing music.
Particle rain
In Frost it is the intention that orbs of a certain color must be filled with particles of the same color. Those particles fall through the image like rain. As a player, you activate the swarm by swiping your finger over it and bringing the particles to the orbs. Only then are the balls filled and the level complete.
That sounds simple and it is. But of course the levels are getting a bit more difficult. For example, multiple orbs are used with multiple colors. Other times you will have to direct the particle rain past obstructions. Later in the game you completely lose your influence on the rain and you have to determine its route with the help of other particles.
Soothing
In this way developer ‘kunabi brother’ keeps the 55 levels fresh and fruity. However, Frost mainly relies on his presentation and the music. The game is almost a meditative journey. That’s because you try to focus the chaos on the screen to one point, all the while hearing sounds of the wind and soothing piano sounds.
The developer calls Frost “a tender hymn to life” and “an emotional journey through a dreamlike space.” The game is based on the phenomenon of swarming behavior that is common in nature. A flock of birds sometimes seems to move as one, formed by all individual birds.
Download Frost
Whether you recognize these influences and thoughts of the developer in the game is up to you. In any case, the game is worth it and will keep you busy for a few hours. You can play most levels at your own pace, so the few are less under time pressure.
