Frost is an award-winning puzzle game that invites players to interact with thousands of glowing particles in a serene, abstract world. By drawing paths with your fingers, you create flows that guide these spirits toward their home planets. Each level presents a new cosmic mystery, introducing unique mechanics like gravity, friction, and light-based barriers. With its minimalist design and atmospheric soundscape, Frost is a meditative journey that challenges the mind while soothing the senses.

Our Expert Score

90/100

Frost is a mesmerizing experience that feels more like digital art than a traditional puzzle game. Your goal is to guide swarms of glowing particles—representing 'spirits'—to their home planets. You do this by drawing paths on the screen, creating currents and flows that the particles follow. It’s incredibly tactile and fluid, making you feel like you’re manipulating light itself. The music is ethereal and perfectly complements the stunning, abstract visuals.

As you progress, the puzzles introduce new elements like gravity wells, color-shifting barriers, and aggressive particles that you must avoid. It’s never overly stressful, but it requires a high degree of spatial reasoning and timing. Frost is the kind of game that showcases the unique potential of a touchscreen device. It’s elegant, innovative, and deeply relaxing. For anyone looking for a puzzle game that prioritizes wonder and beauty over high-pressure challenges, Frost is a must-play.

Love This Game!!
Thu Oct 26 2017 YourWebGirl

There are 50 levels to this game. Each increasing in difficulty as you progress. I was able to solve all the puzzles in a couple of hours, obviously I did not have much to do today, but it was a great way to spend the time. I found most of the puzzles quite challenging. I got lost in this game and was a little saddened when it ended. The developers ask, at the end, if you would like to be notified when new levels are released. I’m looking forward to the new levels... please make them soon!! After you answer the question about being notified, the game starts over and if you are like me, you may not remember how you solved some of the more difficult ones, so the fun starts all over!! Good thing I’m between projects at the moment 😳

Great App - Takes a While for Challenge to Begin - ONLY 2 DIFFICULT LEVELS! :(

It wasn’t until level 42 that I actually felt challenged. Was gettting really bored after the visual effect became a regular thing. After level 18 I thought about just stopping the app because it wasn’t any fun anymore because it was the same old thing. 20s were ok, some new things introduced then 30s were mundane again. Finally! Level 42 and I had to actually figure out something! Then it got easy again. I got to level 53 and I think that one was difficult but not crazy. At the end it was so easy it was like the developers gave up. This game is much more about what it looks like than a puzzle game. I get that they worked hard on the visual effects but come on. Where in the world was the challenge. Make more complex levels. Make more intricate ways you have to move things. Make some doors or latches you have to hit in sequence to open up a path to the goal. Really REALLY REALLY DISAPPOINTED that this cost me $5 and was nothing more than an interactive screen saver really. I expected more in terms of challenging puzzles by the 50s. Visual effects are amazing but way too long to get to challenging puzzles. Also, it took me a small portion of one day to solve them all. So, I just spent $5 for one day of playing an app on my phone. NO reason to restart the levels because I know how to solve them all now!

Beautiful, Zenlike Puzzles
Fri Nov 17 2017 Lindisty

I downloaded this for something to play while winding down in the evening. It is close to perfect for that. The UI is extremely minimalistic and smooth. The graphics are beyond mesmerizing. The reason for the 4 star rating: as beautiful as a minimal UI is, it would be nice to be able to go to one screen and select any level instead of going forward or back one at a time. Also, (and I’ll be contacting them to see if this is a bug) the game keeps my screen at 100% brightness and will not let me dim it at all. Since I play in the evening this is more light than I’d like and the option to keep my screen dim would be very good. Last note: a free play, zen, or sandbox mode where you could just push around the lights freely would make this app amazing. Making your own puzzles in it (a la Kami 2) would skyrocket it to the best app ever.

I couldn’t stop

If you think that this game is pricey, think again. Breathtaking graphics, stunning features, wonderful music, as well as serene, beautiful, yet challenging puzzles. I have completed all of the puzzles which only took me a few hours, but was the best experience I have ever spent my time on with my device. I definitely recommend purchasing this app and I also recommend you listen with your headphones or earbuds, for it will make it an even more awesome experience! Thank you for taking the time to read my review and I hope you guys keep working hard the way you do and publish more levels and other games as you continue to venture forth through a game I call, “Life.”

Absolutely beautiful and calming

It’s rare for a puzzle game to be both intellectually stimulating and calming. Frost not only achieved that, but took it a step farther by making the completion of each level a delight. From a user point of view I felt it went too fast. Other games would normally have you play three or so rounds at the beginning before introducing a new elements. Frost sort of sped through that. There are some puzzles where the user is involved, and others where the user creates these light “factories” and lets the glow accumulate on its own - those were my favorite. Taking elements from how light particles work in physics was a brilliant idea. Light waves/particles have been fascinating physicists for centuries. Basing a game off that seems like it could be, well, infinite. Good job.

I use it to go to sleep

I love the game itself. The graphics are soothing yet not to much to where my phone starts lagging so thank you for that. People have trouble with the blue backgrounds but that’s ok because you can just turn on night shift and it makes them a purple. I love the last 55 cause the bass when the little thing goes in the circle it makes a big boom and I like it. The only reason I’m giving this 4 ⭐️ is because I kinda got disappointed when I found out there’s only 55 levels. Please make an update with more levels not a new game that costs another $5 with 75 new levels. Also the brightness thing is kinda creepy but thanks for making a new way to adjust it. Waiting for those levels tho. I reeeee when I found out just 55 xD. Thanks!

Why aren’t there more games like this on the App Store?!
Mon Oct 30 2017 Schimizzle

50 hand crafted, drop dead gorgeous levels, all for a small upfront fee. That’s it. No IAP, just a well crafted game that’ll have you hooked for hours. After being an iPhone user for close to a decade now, its gotten to the point where if I see the developer has IAPs, I immediately refuse to read further, just because I already know it will be awful. And I do know, I’ve played a ridiculous amount of games in my time with Apple, and this game, this game right here is a triumph in every way at this point in 2017 for daring to have a user pay for their product upfront and not shoving $99 loot boxes down my throat. Gamers, THIS IS THE TYPE OF DEVELOPER YOU WANT. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My issue is not the $ so much or even lack of more levels. I can’t complain about lack of levels when I CAN’T EVEN GET PAST LEVEL 9 in a 55 level game!!!!!! U kno what I think? I think whichever level some1 gets stuck on depends on which device & what year that device is that u’re playing on. 1 reviewer got stuck on 10. Another on 45. It’s 9 4 me. So my guess is that it’s glitchy due 2 fact it’s a particles concept/coding/plat4m. Not much u can do with that & the “independent” devs r slick guys who KNO that. Y else would it have been abandoned 4 2yrs?! They probably “Heeyuck heeyuck”ed their way 2 the bank after the last upd8. I’ll play with it, c what happens, but, meh. I’ll delete it soon I’m sure. Just b wary of buying games that r still full price 2yrs after their last upd8. I rarely do that. After this tho, never again. W8 until it’s in Apps Gone Free or .99cents. YW.
