Environmentally speaking, Fire & Ice features two prominent scenarios lodged at either end of the temperature scale, yet also more moderate ecological habitats that sit somewhere in between these two bipolar extremes. Fire and Ice (subtitled The Daring Adventures of Cool Coyote), aside from being climatically jarring for those of us susceptible to chilblains, is a traditional platformer escapade that entails killing meanies to recover the individual components of keys required to make progress.

Adding a soupcon of subtlety to the proceedings, Cool Coyote can encapsulate enemies in an icy straightjacket, subsequent collisions shattering their mini prisons in a manner reminiscent of Bubble Bobble's joyous bubble-trapping function. Tiny puppy followers can be gathered to bolster our ice-powered pellet projectiles. Whilst blindly attempting to track Cool Coyote's route through the territories, they zap enemies in synchrony with their esteemed leader of the pack.
