A puzzle game for your phone
Melt the ice, rescue the pictures.
Tap a fire spirit and it melts ice of its own color from the top down. Clear the board before the hearths fill up, rescue the picture under the ice and bring it home to the snowy Shelter.
- Free to play
- No account needed
- One hand, portrait
- 200 levels
How to play
Three taps of rules
You learn it in a minute. Working out which spirit to send, and when, starts over on every level.
-
Tap a fire spirit
Each spirit melts ice of its own color from the top down. Ice with nothing above it melts; the rest waits its turn.
-
Keep the hearths free
A spirit with no ice to melt waits on a hearth. If all hearths fill up, the level ends. Press and hold to see which ice a spirit will melt.
-
Rescue the picture
When the last ice melts, the picture underneath appears. Fox, owl, husky: every picture you rescue moves to the Shelter.
Features
A new knot on every level
As you go, the board brings out new toys. They all follow the same rule, and none of them is luck.
-
Chained spirits
Tap one and both fly off together. They hold two hearths until both are done, so you need two empty ones.
-
Seals and keys
Sealed spirits and locked ice stay put until you get the key. The key uses no hearth and breaks the seal.
-
Undo, +1 Hearth, Merge
Stuck? Take a move back, open one more hearth, or merge two same-color spirits waiting on hearths.
-
Flame Path
Win levels to climb tiers; every tier holds gold, a spell of unlimited lives or a Merge charge.
-
Lives only go when you give up
Rewind or Revive and you keep your life. The first 10 levels cost no lives at all.
-
Your streak stays safe
A daily reward waits for you every day. Miss a day and your streak stays safe; pick up right where you left off.
Shelter
A snowy valley for everyone you rescue
The pictures you finish live in the Shelter. The snow fox wanders, the owl perches in the tree, the husky warms up by the fire.
- It starts with the Snowy Valley; Dappled Cove opens as you progress.
- Every new resident brings the valley a little more to life.
- The busier the Shelter, the more gift gold piles up.

FAQ
Good questions
Is Meltaway free?
Yes. The whole game is free to play. The Market has optional items: the Ad-Free Pack, gold packs and the Golden Path.
Do I need an internet connection?
Not to play. Ads and store purchases need a connection.
Where is my progress saved?
On your phone. There is no account or cloud backup, so deleting the app deletes your progress too.
How do I move my purchases to a new phone?
Sign in with the same store account and tap "Restore purchases" at the bottom of the Market. Permanent items such as the Ad-Free Pack come back.
How do I change my ad choices?
Where consent is required, a "Privacy options" row appears in the game's Settings; change your choice there. On iPhone, manage tracking under Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.
