DESCRIPTION:
Wild Ice is an action tower defense game set in a frozen apocalypse. Players explore a handcrafted open world as they work toward powering massive furnaces to survive the frost. Along the way, they’ll need to stay warm, gather resources, and prepare for relentless waves of enemies.
Whether playing solo or in couch co-op, every battle needs strategy, and quick thinking as they place traps and fortify defenses, before chaos breaks loose and hordes rush the furnaces. And yes.. they’re playing as hockey players!
The world of Wild Ice is brought to life through talented voice actors and an original soundtrack composed by Clark Aboud.
The game is inspired by the developers love of playing games together, and their hope to create a world players could get lost in. Where semi peaceful exploratory moments contrast battles filled with panic and chaos. And honestly, to see how hockey you could make an apocalypse feel.

About the Developers:
Wild Ice is the second release by Journey Bound Games, a creative duo that has decided to venture into game development for their love of storytelling and playing games.
Hi, we are Andrew and Hana, the dev team behind Wild Ice!
We are a married couple who share a love for video games and most of our date nights were spent taking turns eating pizza and playing games, so we decided it would be equally fun to try to make one together.
After making a calming puzzler: Path of Giants for our first game, we decided we wanted to pump up the action, so we dove into making a split screen tower defense game! We may have been over ambitious, but after a few years, we are excited to share Wild Ice with everyone!
Thank you for checking out our game!
Andrew is the man with many hats and technical wizard of Journey Bound Games. If he’s not animating, scripting, or fixing bugs he is pulling his hair out over pathfinding.
Hana handles the visual side of Journey Bound Games as the resident character modeler, level designer, and world builder. She’s also pretty good at keeping Andrew on his toes by trying to “help” with things she probably shouldn’t.
