How to play

Drag your finger (or use the arrows and the space bar) to melt the ice and reveal the hidden shape, without melting too much around it. There are three rounds of twenty-five seconds.

The story behind it

In the Prose Edda, the cow Auðumbla licks the ice and Búri, Odin’s grandfather, emerges from it. The rounds in the game are made up. Read the story in Auðumbla, the cow of the ice: the Norse myth in which the first god emerges.
