What Makes Pop The Ice Stand Out
"Pop The Ice" is a truly fun and exciting ice cube popping game. The goal of this game is to hit the table hard and pop the ice cube up to the top.
You need to use different glasses to catch the ice cube on different floors; these tricky glasses might slide, vanish or explode anytime. Whenever you beat the bosses and reach the top floor, you'll receive new cocktails as gifts! Be careful, if you drop the ice cube, you fail the mission!
HOW TO PLAY
• Simply tap the screen to pop the ice cube.
• Watch out! Glasses might change shape, sliding speed or fall off the floor any time.
• Every few levels you’ll encounter “crazy boss challenges”, try to beat them and collect all the fancy cocktails!

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We love this game SOOOO much! Theres barely any ads and it never glitches. It is so fun, and we definitely recommend it. Hope this helps.
Beat the game a couple months ago please make more levels.
We got this game thinking we could play it during a plane ride. It kept us happy during the whole time. The challenging and fun levels provide a great way to kill time. We ended up beating the game on the plane. We really hope there is a second one coming out.
Ive experienced a glitch where the ice gets stuck on the corner. Other than that it was a great game. Not much of a challenge! However it was fun beating the game.
Love it! Beat it! Please add more levels.
We usually dont do reviews, but this game was awesome, it gets progressively more challenging but never frustrating. Not too many ads either.
TI we IG GE we TIK YO O KE EO OE EE TI OE IG we OE IT IT' IG.
Ive found a bug in which the player is forced into an endless loop of advertisements. When one advertisement is closed, another appears. We recommend fixing this bug.
We finished the game and let us say IT WAS HARD to get through 90 levels but it was very enjoyable and very addicting Ive been playing it for maybe like a week and we have to say it was a very fun 10/10 recommend.. Also the ads are kinda annoying but theres not that much of them to annoy the heck out of us…5 stars.
Such a wacky concept to slam your fist on the table to pop up ice, but it couldnt be more great to pass time.
Im still going to give you 5 stars but you really need to fix the glitches and the lags after you do that its a perfect game to 1 place you go if you fix that.
Love this game! Any chance for some new levels.
Awesome fun to be had! Truly saved our life. So inspirational and purposeful. We owe everything to you.
This game is simple but soooo relaxing. As Im playing it actually allows us to focus on our thoughts.
Its definitely a great game and even though the ads become a bit excessive, we understand you need to receive revenue from the game in some sort of way. Also and most importantly, could you add an option to turn off the vibration every time you lose? It becomes a bit annoying as well. Thanks.
This game is really fun and addicting and greatly made, but we finished all the levels in a couple of days, really wish there were more. Maybe add some new mechanics/cups.
Deserves 5 stars but the game was incredibly easy, we made it through 90 levels within 2.5 hours of on and off play. Would love to see much more difficult levels and just more levels in general! Will receive 5 stars once we feel challenged.
Really fun but several glitches that need addressed, and need more levels.
The ads. A lot of the time the ads do not work and we do not get a second chance. But we finished the game!!!!!! Totally try this game.
We like a game with an end. And the ads arent too intrusive.
The game is very addicting and fun but the last few levels often set up no- win situations, especially the final boss level. On top of that, the revive doesnt work for the final level either so you watch a 30 second commercial only to find that the cup the ice was in doesnt exist anymore.
Ok so this is a great game so far but there is literally an add every 3 minutes and we think thats just way too much.
Every time we tap to make the ice go up a level, we tap the banner and we quickly exit it and it makes us lose the level. 3 stars til ad removal.
What a fun challenge this game is. If adds didnt pop up faster than groundhogs in heat, we would consider keeping it on our phone.
Made it to level 69 but experience constant issues with the second section of a slanted one and a moving one. It puts it in a spot that makes it impossible to do and if we use a beer to save our spot it turns our glass, and ice, invisible and causes our game to freeze up and crash.
A lot of fun but man you get slammed with so many ads, definitely pulls you out of the experience with the full screen ads.
We keeps on erasing the last 3 levels we do and we cant get to the next level.
Too many ads mid game its ridiculous will be uninstalling because of it.
Level 75 is impossible to beat. If you make it that far (which is no easy feat considering how difficult level 73 is) just stop right there. Dont even bother trying level 75 because it is impossible.
It is so addicting and we love it so much.
We love it so so much ! Best use of our time.
Really fun and progressively challenging. Cool style, nice sounds like ice clinking in a cocktail glass and now we want a gin on the rocks.
Its a cool game to help pass time, we like it.
The music is our favorite! The game is a great quick time killer! Easy concept thats fun and enjoyable.
Good for… When youre killing time. Trying to look busy.
This game is addicting thanks for making our day.
This game is by far the best game ever. It took us 2 days to complete but it wasnt easy. It teaches you patience and consistency. Thank You for making this game.
Im not a robot ok? Ok. So as a 1008 year old living in this harsh world, Ive experienced many great games but this one took the cake.
This game is just lit. You should get it.
Went through the first few levels and was fun! Cant wait to do more.
So addictive! We love this game and we recommend it to anyone who wants a challenge.
Im a fan of simple, but somewhat challenging games. This strikes the right balance. And it doesnt require WiFi to play.
Its a pretty fun game and the ads arent that bad good job.
Great game but ads are annoying.
This game is amazing the only thing we dont like is the ads but Ill get over them for this game :).
Its good easy at first then challenging but theres many adds.
We like the concept. Think it would be cool if it would offer real drink recipes for each level you beat to match with what you unlock.
-1 star for excessive ads, -1 for very aggressive 5-star push. :p.
The ice gets stuck between a glass and non existent place on the side of the screen and no matter how many times you tap the x on an ad it wont go away.
We expect ads periodically, but seems like every 30 seconds, or after every level, theres an ad. Its an ok game, but the ad propensity was too much for us.
