Play Ice Age on GBC Online

Ubisoft released Ice Age for the Game Boy Color in 2002, a time when licensed platformers were common on the handheld. It arrived as part of a wave of games based on animated films, aiming to capture the movie's humor and characters in a portable adventure.

You control Manny, Sid, or Diego, each with a unique movement style, navigating side-scrolling levels filled with obstacles and enemies. The main goal is to guide a lost human baby back to its tribe, which involves sliding across ice patches, herding dodos into traps, and pushing boulders to clear paths. The game requires careful timing to avoid hazards like falling icicles and bottomless pits, and the pacing can feel unforgiving in later stages. It feels like a straightforward but sometimes slippery challenge, relying on repetition to master the trickier jumps.
