💖 icebreaker(6) 💖

okay bestie, pull up a chair, we're playing icebreaker and I'm gonna explain it to you like a real person, not like a manpage. (It is a manpage though. Section 6, Games Manual. Iykyk. ✨)

✨ NAME ✨

icebreaker — an addictive action-puzzle game for X. yes, addictive. I said what I said. 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

icebreaker

that's it. that's the whole thing. she just runs. 🦋

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so, uh, there's a bunch of penguins on an iceberg in Antarctica. 🐧🧊

you have been selected to catch them so they can be shipped to Finland, where they are essential to a secret plot for world domination. no cap. that's the lore. we're not asking questions.

in order to trap the penguins, you'll need to break the iceberg into small chunks by melting lines without hitting any of the birds. 😭 once 80% or more of the 'berg is gone, you advance to the next level.

use the left mouse button to start lines, and the right (and/or middle) button to toggle between horizontal and vertical. beyond that, it's probably easier for you to just figure out the game by playing than by reading. so go.

Go! 🔥

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -n, --nosound — do not attempt to initialize the sound system. this causes the in-game Sound option to be marked N/A, and the config file setting gets ignored. bye bye audio. 🙈
  • -f, --fullscreen — start in fullscreen mode if possible. ignores the config file setting. main character energy, full screen. 👑
  • -w, --windowed — start in windowed mode. this resets the config file so that windowed becomes the default. you probably won't ever need to use this, but it's there in case fullscreen somehow is broken and you're too lazy to edit the config file manually. (respect. real.) 🫶
  • -tthemename, --theme=themename — select theme themename — this overrides the config file. for more information on themes, see README.themes or the IceBreaker web site. ✨
  • -l, --listthemes — show available themes. window shopping but make it aesthetic. 🎀
  • -v, --version — display version and copyright information.
  • -h, --help — display the simple command-line option help screen. when in doubt, ask for help, bestie. 💖

🦋 FILES 🦋

  • $HIGHSCOREDIRicebreaker.scores — the system-wide list of high scores. this is where your legacy lives. ⭐
  • ~/.icebreaker — the per-user options file; see the comments in the file itself for more info. it literally explains itself, iconic. 💜
