The Freeze Factory

A worker walks the floor of a walled factory strewn with ice blocks while four sparks chase him. Walk into a block and, if the cell behind it is free, it slides until it hits something; if it hits a spark, the spark is frozen for 1,000 points. If the cell behind is a wall, a block or a spark, the block is crushed for 10 points. A frozen spark thaws after a second. A spark that reaches the worker, or a worker who walks into one, costs a life. Four freezes clear the level, with 25 points for each block left, a time bonus, an extra life and more blocks for next time. The clock counts down from 60 and runs faster each level; at zero, or with the last life gone, the game is over.

Controls: Use either controller. The stick walks the worker (hold it to keep walking) and pushes the blocks. A button starts from the title.
