About Arctic Blast
Arctic Blast is a 60-second tapping game on a snowfield. Animals appear for a moment and disappear again; the rarer the animal, the more it is worth. Wolves appear too, and tagging one costs you.
How to play Arctic Blast
- Press Freeze it to start. The Temp counter at the top is your 60-second timer.
- Animals appear at random spots and stay for about two to three seconds.
- Tap or click an animal to tag it. Its points appear where it was.
- Don't tag the wolves (🐺). Each one takes 50 points off your score.
- Animals appear faster as the round goes on. When the timer reaches zero, your score is compared with your best.

Tips for a higher score
- A single reindeer is worth 28 penguins. When one appears, tag it first.
- Wolves are about one appearance in nine. Check the icon before you tap, especially in the busy final seconds.
- Your score can't go below zero, so an early wolf only hurts if you already had points.
- Keep your finger or cursor near the centre of the field so every spawn point is a short move away.
