Remember the time arcades were actually existent and all of the machines ended making you use up all of your allowance as you played those hardcore games they had to offer?

In it, you're a snowman named Igor brought to life when a sorcerer steals your carrot nose, who also happened to kidnap and slave all the sentient fruits of the orchards of Hammerfest [[For the Evulz|for no apparent reason]]. Now, Igor must venture to his subterranean hideout and go [[Harder Than Hard|through 100+ levels without dying]] ([[It Got Worse|did we mention there are]] [[Check Point Starvation|no save points?]]) in order to recover his honor and free his fruity friends from the clutches of Tuber the evil sorcerer.
Line 19 ⟶ 18:
With the ability to throw bombs that freeze your enemies, to progress you have to clear the levels out of the bewitched fruits by sending them to the [[Bottomless Pit|bottom of the level]] with them. It's not as easy as it sounds, unfortunately, as you'll see in latter levels. To help you on your way, though, there are the aforementioned 300+ items, most of which have twisted effects of all sorts that go from dandelions that make you flutter to trophies that summon a three-eyed-god to make your enemies dizzy. [[Serial Escalation|And these are among the weakest.]]
The game can be found [https://web.archive.org/web/20131020034200/http://www.hfest.net/ here]. There is a downside, though: you can only play once per day (you can buy more games if you're impatient). This marketing strategy may seem like a problem at the start, when your runs don't go past level 10 and they managed to get you addicted already, but once you're skilled enough and your plays start to, literally, take more than 1 hour, it won't bother you much anymore.
Note that [[Non-Indicative Name|there aren't even many hammers in the game]], as it is rather named after [[wikipedia:Hammerfest|Hammerfest]], one of the coldest and
{{tropelist}}
* [[An Ice Person]]: Igor. Sandy also counts.
* [[Ambiguous Gender]]: Not gender per se, actually, but there have been a lot of discussion whether the red fruits are apples or tomatoes. Even the dev team acknowledges it. Though if one thinks closely, he might remember that enemies are all fruits, while all vegetables are items. And there is actually a tomato item.
Line 33 ⟶ 31:
* [[Beneath the Earth]]
* [[Big Eater]]: And Igor [[Black Hole Belly|somehow doesn't gain a pound from all those candies]]. Played straight with the Ghost Candy item.
* [[Blind Idiot Translation]]: As pointed out in this [https://web.archive.org/web/20150910175955/http://www.hfest.net/forum.html/thread/4727 thread]. The developers [[They Just Didn't Care|don't seem to care]].
* [[Bonus Level of Hell]]: P.D. 54; Also a [[Brutal Bonus Level]].
* [[Breath Weapon]]: The ring items, which allow you each to breath fire, freezing balls and... arrows.
Line 42 ⟶ 40:
* [[Deadly Dodging]]: When there are strawberries in the levels, or swarms of watermelons, or [[It Got Worse|both]].
* [[Death Throws]]
* [[Defeat Means Friendship]]: That's how bombing the
* [[Degraded Boss]]: All of the 'bosses', the exception being the final one, are more like introductions to new fruits.
* [[Difficulty Spike]]: Once you get to the 90s. Alternatively, the parallel dimensions, compared to the levels they are found at.
Line 62 ⟶ 60:
* [[Gotta Catch Them All]]: The items, which are considered by most what really makes the game addicting. However, nobody still unlocked all of them.
* [[Guide Dang It]]: Okay, if you want big scores, you '''must''' check walkthroughs about the orders in which you must kill the fruits in order to get the big crystal. It's nigh impossible to figure them out by yourself, mainly when there more than one of the same fruit.
** There's [http://www.cadomax.com/astuceshammerfest.php Cadomax], which is in French, and [
* [[Harder Than Hard]]: Hell in Nightmare Mode. And it's required for a virtual [[100% Completion]].
* [[Harmless Freezing]]: Turning the fruits into cubes of ice only makes them [[Turns Red|angrier]].
Line 104 ⟶ 102:
*** Don't forget the bubbles that wrap Igor, the umbrella items that make you skip levels and the big crystals that fall when you kill the fruits in a certain order.
** [[Snow Bros]]: The protagonist's a snowman. That's all, interestingly enough.
** [[
** [[Super Mario Bros.]]: Collect all of the four mushrooms and you get Mario's signature quest. Also, P.D. 16, the Secret Coins and the Koopa shell item.
** [[Sonic the Hedgehog]]: P.D. 62.
