… and good replay potential IMO. At first you’ll start with just moving the frozen Prince over the ice to learn the basic, but as you progress new stuff (?) will be added. There are two play modes Adventure and Relaxed. The game keeps track of numbers of moves you use, time and score.
In Adventure mode there are 3 difficult levels, as a Servant you have plenty of time, as a Prince the timer is hard to beat and the Knight is in between that. If you shift the frozen Prince over an edge you start over (if you haven’t got an Angel to save you) while the timer is still running. The Witch gets bored now and then and offers you to play a round of “Magic Marbles” for double points or nothing – this is optional.
In Relaxed mode the timer count upwards and there’s always an Angel nearby to catch the frozen Prince. You also have the option to practice “Magic Marbles”.
The story is well know or the same old, but as a wrapping is okay, it’s only there to set the scene IMO. I didn’t care much for the music, so turned it of.
I like the different kind of challenges this game offer my brain and that I need to be able to calculate ahead if I want to improve my numbers of moves and/or time used.
I recommend this game!

This game is a little pearl. If you like different and would like to support the variety of games that is made – you should try this one out. It runs smoothly and the 15 min demo time is IMO enough to see if it’s worth (for you) to explore further. Also if you are familiar with this sort of troubleshooting (?) you have time to solve the first challenge.
I demoed it, bought it, leaned back and enjoyed the

There is no help! But Genkicoll has posted a “get started spoiler” in the Reviews Thread in the Game Forum and there’s also a walkthrough to be found on the internet if you really, really get stocked …
Only one tip: If you think, you’ve tried everything; you may have overlooked a (small?) detail.
I recommend this game!
