2: - The sword

The sword, or dagger, is an interactive object used by the player in the Ice Breaker series.

Appearance[]

The sword is not actually seen during the games. However, the sword's icon appears as a brown T-shaped hilt with a sharp metal bar pointing out of the top. The sword is never actually seen in the game, it is only recognized by the small image in the corner of the screen. In Icebreaker: A Viking Voyage, only the sword's stylized blade is seen.

Game information[]

The sword is an object used by the player used to cut ice throughout the Ice Breaker games. The sword is not actually named in the games, but is known to be a sword by the image on the cut counter. The cut counter is located at the bottom left side of the screen in the Flash games and the top left in the mobile version. This counter counts how many cuts the player has made, and turns red the closer the player reaches there cut limit. The player is only allowed thirty cuts, and upon reaching the mark the sword presumably breaks and is unusable, forcing the player to reset the level.

The sword can be used to cut ice, ropes, and deflate valkyries. The sword cannot cut all objects, some types of rock cannot be cut as well as wood, chains, and other objects. The sword cannot be used to kill any creatures, neither Vikings nor Wolfrats. Cutting is done in the flash games by clicking somewhere on screen and dragging to create a white line, which when the player releases the mouse button will cause the player to make a straight cut through whatever objects were under the line. If the area cannot be cut, the line will flash red and not count towards the player's thirty cuts. The player cannot make cuts in the air where there is nothing to cut.

Cutting in the mobile version is done the same but by tapping and dragging the screen instead.
