Jellyneo

Hannah and the Ice Caves

Heads up! This game requires the Shockwave plugin to run, which was discontinued in 2019, but became hit or miss with its functionality before that. You will likely be unable to play this game unless you have an older computer running older versions of your operating system/web browser (which we do not recommend for security reasons).

Our lovely Hannah is back into another adventure. Leaving the pirate caves, she's now heading to a colder place...the Ice Caves! With the help of her friend, Armin, the cute Bori, she'll need to get through the caves and through the different enemies.

Welcome to the cold adventure of Hannah and the Ice Caves (HatIC)!


"Yep, that's how I rock it!"

How to Play

Like the other two adventure games starring Hannah, the goal of this game is to retrieve all the treasure chests in a level before exiting through the door with your newly-found loot. Of course, the frozen caves are not without their fair share of traps; along the way the adventurous pair will be faced with spikes, arrows, enemies, and more! Below is a typical screen of HatIC:

The top bar, from left to right, features these:

  1. A heart bar shows you the number of lives you currently have. If you have four lives or more, the last heart will have a little plus sign in the center. Keep in mind that the heart bar is shared; if Hannah gets killed, Armin will lose a life as well! Characters can die even if they are not currently active.
  2. An End Game button that takes you to the Game Over screen. From there you can choose to either restart your level, send your score, or start a new game.
  3. A button of the inactive character, which switches you to the currently inactive character. The S key has the same function.
  4. Two numbers next to a coin: the left tells how many treasures you've collected so far; the right is the total number of treasure chests in the level.
  5. Your current score.

The ten bubbles, located in the bottom-left corner of the screen, are only relevant when your character is swimming or underwater. When Hannah is underwater, a bubble pops every second or so; if all the bubbles pop before Hannah gets a chance to replenish her bubble supply, she drowns! Armin, on the other hand, will drown almost immediately after stepping foot in a pool of water.

Controls

The following keys control the character's movements around the map. To crawl left or right, for example, one would hold down the "crawl" and "right" keys at the same time; that is, "down arrow" and "right arrow." The same applies for jumping, just like the Pirate and Kreludor Caves games.

Key Action
Left arrow Moves character left
Right arrow Moves character right
Down arrow Crouches, moves down ladders
Up arrow Looks up, moves up ladders
Spacebar Jump
S Switch characters

Tiles

Listed below are the tiles that make up the many levels of HatIC. Unless otherwise stated, all of these tiles can be destroyed by arrows and dynamite. Crates are not featured in this section, as they are outlined in their own section below.


Treasure Chest: What you're here for! Treasure Chests cannot be destroyed by arrows and dynamite; the only way to collect them is by running through them with Hannah or Armin.

Terrain: Terrain tiles make up the walls of the caves. They are completely indestructible.

Secret Area: Secret Areas act like terrain in every way, except you're able to walk through them. They are mainly used to hide extra lives and gems.


Icicles: These icicles are found all over the cave walls. Be especially careful when you're around them, as they are dangerous to touch. Another way of destroying them is by crushing them with a boulder or a crate.

Boulder: The boulder has three unique features: it can be pushed around by Hannah and Armin; it breaks platforms; and when a boulder is pushed onto another boulder with at least one blank tile next to it, it rolls to the side. If a boulder falls on your character, you lose a life.

Ladder: Ladders bring the characters up and down places where jumping isn't feasible. Does exactly what a ladder is supposed to do.

Platform: To ascend to a platform, stand below it and jump up. As mentioned above, they can be crushed by boulders.

Snow: One of the features found in HatIC, but not its predecessor. Armin's sharp Bori claws let him dig through the snow tunnels, but Hannah is unable to do anything about them.

Crates

There are two types of crate in HatIC: wooden crates and metal crates. Both types of crate can be destroyed by arrows and dynamite, however, only wooden crates can be broken by Hannah or Armin. If a wooden crate falls on top of Hannah and Armin, it breaks; if a metal crate falls on top of a character, you lose a life.

Note that if an arrow or a wooden dynamite crate falls on top of a character, he or she will die anyway, as the resulting arrow/dynamite will be launched straight into Armin or Hannah.


Wooden Crate: The most basic of the crates, the Wooden Crate has no special functions but are good for a couple of extra points.

Arrow Crate: Arrow Crates shoot an arrow in the direction shown. If a character is hit by an arrow, you lose a life.

Wooden Dynamite Crate: The way the dynamite flies depends on the direction from which you shoot it. Being too close to the resulting explosion can kill your character.

Steel Crate: The steel counterpart of the basic Wooden Crate. These cannot be directly broken by Hannah and Armin and you will lose a life if one falls on them.

Steel Dynamite Crate: Similar to the Wooden Dynamite crate, only in a metal packaging. Once detonated, this destroys all breakable tiles within a one tile radius.

Enemies

There are also enemies in HatIC. they can be hard to defeat so here's the how-to.


Icy Skeletons: They can be killed if an arrow hits them or if a boulder/metal crate falls on them. Armin can run and destroy these skeletons.

Snowbeast: The Snowbeast can only be defeated by falling boulders/metal crates. Hannah can jump over them while Armin can't do anything against them.

Ghost: They can be killed by falling boulders/metal crates and by arrows. You can also duck down to avoid them.

Bonuses

Here are the items that give bonuses; most of the time, they are hidden in secret places.


Extra Life: The Extra Life is really worth the walk. In addition to giving you an extra life, they add 555 points to your score.

Gems (Heart of the Mountain): Gems are good for your score; they give you 5,000 extra points at the end of the level.

Helpful Tips

  • Pay attention to the little phrases written in the back of the game screen, they give hints to what you should do sometimes.
  • Armin can swim if you keep pressing on the space bar while clicking the up and left/right key.
  • Press the left/right key repetitively if you want to run faster.
  • There are no codes for this game.

Level Solutions

Ollie Appearance

Like many Flash games on the site, this game was worked on by Ollie, also known as the Phantom Orange Shirt Guy. During the final level 30 (Muahaha!), he will randomly appear in the background, but doesn't do anything. Additionally, the falling crates form the word OLLI.
