How to play Glacier Dash
Press play and the first round teaches you the rest. You will want a keyboard for this one — the arrow keys / WASD carry most of it, and the table below has the rest. The game runs in portrait, so on a phone you can play one-handed, and on desktop it stays centred rather than stretched out of shape. There is no penalty for failing, so push a little harder than feels safe.
