I'm sure we've all found strange things in the fridge, but never flying food, guardian robots, ladders between compartments and lasers.

As Mr. Freeze, your objective is to dodge the flying food and robots etc. and use your flame thrower to defrost all six compartments. Whenever you bump into one of the hazards or fall too far, you turn into an ice cube and lose one of your six lives.

The first compartment has an astonishing wizard - an intelligent flying chicken leg. Whenever you're racing towards it and let loose with the flame thrower, it manages to stop its movement just out of range. However, if you turn your back, it goes for you. Enough to put you off Kentucky fried chicken for life.

The blues and whites used for the graphics give a good impression of cold and the animation of the robots and the other hazards is good. The laser is deadly accurate and this contributes to the high degree of skill required to complete your mission.

In addition to manual dexterity, you'll have to use brainpower, particularly to solve the sixth compartment, which initially you might think is impossible.
