How to play these ice fishing builds
3 November — controls I used while filing the frazil ranking. Each build opens in the browser on this domain.
Minnow Rise — swim under the ice
- Drag, WASD or arrows to steer the minnow with inertia.
- Eat fish smaller than you to grow; avoid larger jaws.
- Watch for hooks falling from holes above.
- Ride school rushes and aurora multipliers when you dare.
- A pike or a hook ends the run — reopen from the menu.
Rod Tug — keep the line honest
- Wait for the bite, then drag the rod tip against the pull.
- Hold tension in the green sweet zone; overpull snaps the line.
- Tap or Space can speed a bite during the wait phase.
- Trophy fish yank toward cracks — near-misses pay if you survive.
- SNAP or a crack ends the fight; try again from pause or over.
Sled Scoop — drift the pack
- Steer with drag or A/D; the sled keeps sliding after you release.
- Scoop fish from holes; hold for a boost at the cost of braking.
- Read thin ice and cracks before you commit to a trophy hole.
- Near-miss a crack edge for bonus points if you stay dry.
- Falling through ice or hitting a hazard ends the drift.
