Play Artic Online
You slide across icy cliffs, dodging seals and polar bears while the timer ticks down—every jump’s a gamble, and that’s what makes it great. The physics are janky in the best way, like Ice Climber but with more chaos.
Game Overview
Artic on the NES is one of those games that looks simple at first—just a little guy sliding around on ice—but then suddenly you're yelling at the screen because a seal knocked you into a crevasse for the tenth time. The controls are slippery in the best way, where every jump feels like a gamble, and that polar bear stealing your treasure? Absolute menace.
It’s got that classic NES charm where the graphics are blocky but weirdly immersive—like you can almost feel the cold when your explorer faceplants into the snow. The timer adds just enough pressure to make even easy levels tense, and the music? Pure 8-bit nostalgia. If you’ve ever played Ice Climber and thought, "This, but with more chaos," Artic’s your game.
Fair warning: you’ll either love the janky physics or hate them. There’s no in-between.
