Ice_Bricks (Guide, Glitches, and Speculation)

[Vital Viper]

Ice Bricks is the new game that is hidden in the agent mission. I’m sure most everyone has passed it up in order to continue the mission. I took the time to evaluate the game and I would like to share all that I found.

Guide:

Ice bricks is a relatively simple game. In order to have maximum control over the ball you have to understand where the ball will go when it hits each part of the paddle. Look at the diagram below. If the ball hits in the middle (as the black arrow indicates) it will go straight up and slow, if it hit’s a little to the left/right (as the blue arrow indicates) it will go slightly in that direction at a moderate speed, and if it hits near the outer edges of the paddle (as indicated by the red arrows) it will make a sharp slant in that direction moving a considerably faster pace. It is important to understand that the ball will reflect in these directions no matter what direction the ball comes in from.

Glitches:

Endless Round- If you are playing the game and louse all three balls it will ask you if you would like to play again. When you play again it will be Impossible for you to beat level one. Even after breaking all the bricks it doesn’t continue to the next level.

Missing Bricks- Level 5 has no bricks, all you do is click and you win. (more on this further down)

Speculation:

The empty level just seems suspicious to me. At first I thought it must have been something like the Astro-Barrier secret levels trick but waited a long time for nothing to appear. I also tried getting to that point in the game and trying every possible combination of items, clicking on everything (like the Golden Viking Helmet trick). Also despite the games “ending” it still says Level 6 in the corner. There must be some way to continue playing, and who knows what reward may lie at the end of this complicate puzzle?



I will continue to investigate this game and ask you to post anything you may have figured out about it here.

I played a little bit but got boring at lvl2.
It isnt really needed to finish the mission so I just moved on

That is what most people have done, and thats exactly what CP expects us to do. I'm convinced there is something extra tucked away for us to discover. Using the information I provided about guiding the ball should make the rounds go MUCH faster.

I've looked at a few of your posts and it seems you say exactly what someone else says who posted before you. It is important to develop your own opinion. People will get mad when you copy them. How old are you, and how old is your penguin?

I hate that game because it is just an idoit game + black and white + small game, but you made a really good helping good.

Good luck finding wat ever it is!!
Ill be trying too, cuz ur talk made me curious about this.

I have a game for my DS that is a similar concept except it has power ups and stuff. The computer in the mission looks rather old and needs a floppy to boot so an old model game on it just makes sense. If you think about it they had to put SOMETHING else on there besides just the lock combination. The game and item list are just fillers. I'm less interested in the game its self and more interested in the secrets the game may be hiding.

I do my best to help others.

I've tried everything I know of. It is always fun to speculate but it might just be glitches. There might just be more levels to the game but something is going wrong on level 5. I hope to receive a response from one of the CP mods to see if the glitches can be fixed so we can find whatever is meant to be found if there is anything.

It will most likely be a part of the next mission, just like G's invention room in the HQ which needs to scan your eyes, and the duck floatie which is locked in the agent HQ.

So your suggesting that the missions will now have an ongoing plot line and that in future missions we will be able to go back to the places where we were in the previous missions?

So you are suggesting that there will be more Ice_Bricks levels in the next mission?

U may be right about the scan thing, but I dont think a silly game would do any difference.

Well, there were more programs on the computer than you had to use, for example the item list.

CP made many little things like that for a reason, they have never put extra features in the missions that weren't used.

The game could be used in the future, since now the gift shop has been expanded as a room on the mission map, as well as the nightclub, which has access to the lounge.

I'm not saying they will use it in future missions, but it does give them more versatility to use them as access to other rooms and/or features.

As for the extra programs on the computer I think it was CP just trying to use them as fillers. They couldn’t have the computer with only the combination on it because that would just have been lame. At the same time I would like to see the game gave some sort of significance.

I think that missions may come out faster once CP has a larger collection of rooms. Now they don't have to create those core rooms again. If you add up the different rooms that where made available through the 3 existing missions you have about half of club penguin. It is nice to finally see the long range mission agenda come into play. I think that CP waited to give us a cliff hanger until they were ready to produce missions faster.

I would just like to see something that we can use come out of missions. The thing I know everyone wants is ninjas and I know CP has been holding them back for a special time. I'm not saying that I think ninjas have anything to do with this mission but I would not be surprised if that is how the ninja items get released. Turning invisible would defiantly be a good spy move that a secret agent could make use of (or celebrity penguins like myself could use to escape crazed fans, lol). Realistically I think that by completing an in mission game like Ice Bricks we should get a pin, background, or maybe even a new color.

I was about to post a topic about Ice Bricks (BREAKOUT). You beat me Vital.

[MarioFan107]

How many Levels are in Ice breaker?

[hawkshoes]

think they did it for the same reason as you vital viper i just think they did it to fill up the space or it would be wierd just a combination and nothing else and i dont see the point in the catalog items and prices either:)

[Vital Viper]

I was about to post a topic about Ice Bricks (BREAKOUT). You beat me Vital.
Well I posted this way early in the morning. What were you planning to post about it? Anything you think I should add?

-Vital Viper

How many Levels are in Ice breaker?
Technically there are 5 levels but the 5th level is completed simply by clicking the paddle.

-Vital Viper

[Bill Rimers]

How many Levels are in Ice breaker?

4 you can play, the 5th you click to start and you win. The 6th level is just when it says "You win! Play again?"

[Black Skully]

Good speculation Vital Viper. I believe that the door that said "Keep Out" was the way to the Ninja Outfits. I know Club Penguin will probably make it possible soon enough, but I know that they wouldn't add that door just to make the HQ look more spy-ish if you know what I'm trying to say.

[JEFF hardy]

hey it just like blasterball on my older computer i beat that game in like 2min
it was easy

[iceddude]

I beat that game today because i wanted to see how long it was.

There is a lot of interesting items in the HQ, and the "KEEP OUT" door is one of the most!

PS the most weirdest thing is the white hair... Houston we have a new animal incoming!

Yes, Club Penguin is finaly giving us hints for the next missions.

yea, once you figure out how to get the ball to reflect right it is easy to beat. I would like to see it extended.

It is going to be interesting to see where CP goes with this. It's going to be hard to come up with a bad guy. Someone stole the blueprints and used it to make coins fly up? Something is missing. How did they get access to the roof if we had to get a key to do it? If they can just fly a jet pack up there why can't we?

Indeed, there various questions that lie unanswered.

The whole mission finished in mystery.
Worse after it ended.

[M3l0dy]

i like the game... bcoz im good at it... but i couldnt b bothered playing... im soo lazy... i only played the first level... and was like i want to hurry up and complete the mission... and yea...

[Juancri98]

I do not like the game, it have nothing to do with the mission, and when I fnished the level 1, I got very bored and close it and played the mission. :|

It's an attemt to end on a cliff hanger.

Yup, I'm sure thats exactly what most people did.

[Holagurrl25]

I played to Level 2, there's 5 levels evidently...
Maybe you're just too superstitious... :P
You can remind me of this post if you're right, though. ;)

[Powdinet]

See this:



It has info about secret levels

[Holagurrl25]

See this:

That says that there aren't any secret levels found. :|

Wouldn't it be cool if you could get coins for that mini-mini-game?

[zmactarheel]

Wierd ummm I got to level 9 I'm playing it right now... wierd. It actually has TEN levels not six.

[Powdinet]

Wierd ummm I got to level 9 I'm playing it right now... wierd. It actually has TEN levels not six.

I was at ten but I messed up and lost the game...
Strange, I never lost at that game before...

[soul lord111]

i agree with (insert name here) who said that the plot is ongoing, for example in the latest mission we found some fur near the magnet, which is obviousley the fur of who did it, so in that case the next missioon would include tracking him down... maybe

[Holtmann]

no way, cause what about newbies? the whole thing would be twisted for them, impossible to unwind...caught forever!:mad:

[Vital Viper]

I guess they expanded it. They should have had it finished when the mission was released. I doubt many people are going to go back and play it.

[Poisenman101]

Maybe CP is just trying out the game there, to see if we like it. I am sure they are keeping track of the hits on the game and how far players progress. If it's popular they may make it more colorful and put it in a room to play. Would be perfect in the Sport's Shop, perhaps?

That would be cool. It would be a nice addition to the arcade. I would so play it.

That'd be a good idea except for the fact that its kinda slow and a little boring, so I doubt it would really pick up.

[Oagalthorp]

There are alot of new levels. I am right now on Level 8, and I'm not even finished.

EDIT: The game ends at Level 10. No prize though. -_-
