In Hannah and the Ice Caves you have help from your friend Armin the Bori. He may not be able to jump as high as Hannah, and he can't swim but Armin can crawl through snow and destroy some enemies by running them over.

Introduction
Hannah is back - and this time the challenge is so tough, even she needs help!
After her adventure in the Pirate Caves, Hannah is back and ready to tackle the all new Ice Caves - and this time, she's brought her Bori friend Armin along for the ride! You can play as both characters, switching between the two at will, while you tackle thirty different levels.
Controls and Instructions
When you first begin a game, you will see something like this:
At this place the Negg Faerie will exchange your regular neggs for very special Neggs. The only thing that distinguishes them from regular neggs is the fact you can sell these neggs for tokens. On this page you will be able to find out what the value of your regular neggs are, and also what these special neggs can do for you and what they cost.Token NeggsThe token neggs have no special powers, they are just food. The NeggeryIn the on is a place called. Neopets negg festival.
This screenshot was taken on a slightly later level (so I could get more of the various things in one shot), but the first level will look fairly similar.
Basic Controls
Hannah and Armin are the two characters you can play as in the game. Their basic controls are pretty standard - basically you use the arrow keys to move and the spacebar to jump. Alternatively, you may use o to move left, p to move right and q to look up.
Key | What It Does.. |
---|---|
Move to the left with the left arrow key. | |
Similarly, with the right arrow key you move to the right. | |
To crawl or duck under enemies use the down arrow key. | |
Use the up arrow key to 'look' up | |
To switch between Hannah and Armin use the S key. (You can also switch by clicking the 'Inactive Character' in the topbar.) | |
Finally, to jump use the spacebar. |
Each character has their own set of strengths and weaknesses - and you will need both to complete each level. For example, Hannah can jump much higher than Armin and can therefore reach ledges and things that are further away. There are, of course, parts of every level that both characters could do, and as you play you will probably find one you prefer to use for these parts of the game.
To complete each level you must collect all the treasure chests and then find the door. The door will only open when you have found all the treasure. In some of the levels there is a gem or an extra life for you to collect as well. You don't have to collect them, but the gems award an extra 5,000 points and another life is always useful!
Hannah
The larger of these two friends, Hannah is also more athletic than Armin. As mentioned above, she jumps much higher than Armin and this is something of a double-edged sword - you will need her to reach higher areas, but its also more likely that you will hit a spike on the roof of the cave. Always try to remember to look up (with the up arrow key) before you jump with Hannah - its that old saying, look before you leap!
Hannah can also swim. The 'Breath Left' bar along the bottom shows how much air she has left when she is underwater, as she stays under the bubbles will pop until (if you don't come up for air) they run out and you lose a life. The controls when swimming are slightly different - the left and right arrow keys are still for moving left and right, but the up and down keys now move Hannah, well.. up and down!
Armin
This little Bori has two special strengths - he can burrow through soft snow, and he can destroy enemies simply by running them over! To make Armin burrow, walk up to the soft snow and hold down the down arrow key (while moving forward) so he crawls through it.
Armin can destroy enemies either by jumping on them, or by just running over them - while both will work, the latter is better as a glitch in the game means that sometimes when you jump on an enemy you actually end up losing a life.
In Zurroball, you must keep whatever ball you decide to use from touching the ground by clicking on it and causing it to bounce up. Doing tricks in the air will score you bonus points! In order to collect your points, you must get your ball to cross back above the red. Apr 27, 2013 Metal Ball – This ball is almost as good as the reg. Zurroball, but is probably for more advanced players with lots of practice. Of course, since this ball is metal, it doesn’t bounce very well. Of course, since this ball is metal, it doesn’t bounce very well. Neopets zurroball guide.
Technically, Armin can't swim - if he landing in water higher than his ankles he'll drown - but there is a glitch where he can sort of 'glide' over pools of water if you push the spacebar down repeatedly as you move along the top of the water. Neopets icons. Its not foolproof, but if you miss the first secret area in Gunther's Revenge then you can get Armin across the pool of water.
Snowbeasts and Icy Flames
These are the two enemies in Hannah and the Ice Caves that Armin can't just run over to destroy them. You can destroy them with a well-placed arrow or a falling boulder (see below) if you're lucky, but don't count on it - for the most part you need all these items to set off various things in the levels and you won't have any to waste on these enemies! Avoiding them is best, if the Flames are flying low to the ground you can use the down arrow key to crawl under them with either character.
As for the Snowbeasts, they are much too big for poor little Armin! The only way past them is for Hannah to fly over them with a well-timed jump. It will probably take a bit of practice before you get the knack of it, you have to jump just before the beast reaches you - only don't wait too long, or the arc of your jump won't clear the Snowbeast's horns.. you get used to it after a couple of times!
Arrows, Dynamite and Boulders
These are the useful items you'll find in the game. Arrows are set off by bumping into them, and are strategically place around the levels so that once you set them off they can release treasure or destroy a platform that might be in your way. Dynamite in wooden boxes is set off in much the same way and is most often used to clear a path through the level. Occasionally you will find dynamite contained within metal crates - this can be set off either with some boxed dynamite, or with an arrow.
Single boulders can be pushed around by either character and if they fall onto an Icy Flame or a Snowbeast it will destroy them. Similarly, they will break through any platforms that they fall onto. Boulders can also be pushed along in front of a character to destroy any spikes that are in your way.

Conclusion
This is a very addicting adventure game, and while it might take you some time to get used to all the controls once you've made it to the final level (Muahaha) you can simply play that three times a day for a guaranteed 3,000 Neopoints. Hopefully this guide will help you on your way to unlocking all the levels, and perhaps even help you gain another trophy for your cabinet!

Neopets Ice Caves
It's been an amazing six and a half years now, but it's time. It's a shame to have to close IC after such a great run. I got to meet many great people from all over the world, I got exposed to graphic design, programming, marketing, product management, and more. But it's time; IC has for some time now been a ghost of its former glory days. But with every door that closes, a new one opens up. I've decided to finally close IC not because I have given up on it but because it's time to work on newer, different projects. Lastly, I would like to keep in touch with the amazing members of our community, so I will pop up again on the web again some time soon with something I've been working on for some time now. I haven't decided yet if I will keep this domain, but you will still be able to find me on Twitter and Facebook (even though I don't post often, I check regularly), although Email is still the best way to get a hold of me. Thank you, Thomas, Aashni, Anna, Jenny, Scarlett, Frisby, Rachel, Jules, Kyra, Rhama, Lion, and so many, many of others over the years.
