About the Game

Meltopia is a minimalist game that takes you to a snowy world full of mysteries and glacial secrets. You'll explore its frozen landscapes, melt the snow, collect valuable resources and ancient artifacts. Bring them back to your hub platform, where they will gradually thaw.

But your ultimate goal is to find and assemble the remains of an ancient Mammoth!

Melt the Snow

Snow isn’t an obstacle—it’s the way forward. Use a heat gun and other tools to unlock frozen areas and delve deeper into the icy world of Meltopia.

Gather Resources and Artifacts

Rare resources and ancient artifacts are hidden in the snow-covered expanse. Every discovery brings you closer to uncovering the story of this frozen world.

Experience the Contrast

Beneath the snow lies a completely different world: icy caves, the sound of dripping water, and shimmering reflections on the walls. This unexpected transition creates a striking contrast and enhances the feeling of exploration.

Uncover Hidden Secrets

Icy caves, snowy tunnels, and forgotten dungeons hold many secrets. Explore every corner to uncover surprising stories and hidden passages.

Use Dynamite

When heat isn’t enough—it’s time for explosions! Dynamite will help you blast through thick layers of ice and access hard-to-reach areas.

Upgrade Your Heat Gun

Over time, you can enhance your arsenal. Upgrade your heat gun to melt snow faster and defeat icy enemies more effectively.



Don’t Let the Cold Win!

Everything in this frozen world resists your warmth. But you have the power to melt the ice, awaken ancient secrets, and collect the Mammoth’s remains. Don’t stop—Meltopia awaits its hero.

The game offers a slow-paced, relaxing experience with no strict rules, allowing you to explore, thaw, and uncover mysteries at your own pace.
