As Polar, you maneuver around the maze of ice blocks, avoiding the roving trappers along the way. Stand next to an ice block and press the button to send it sliding. And if any trappers are in the way, they'll get squished and disappear. Slide ice blocks into igloos and cabins so no more trappers can come out. Push around dynamite blocks for a big bang. Knock over snowmen, polar bear ice statues, and caged polar bears for extra lives and bonus points."

The jerky jerk-face Mr. Big and Globoco Inc. are destroying the arctic forests and are practicing off-shore oil-drilling without concern for the cute and cuddly wildlife or their environment. You may find yourself feeling as though you have transformed into Mr. Al Gore to save some polar bears. Your not just any polar bear, you play as a polar bear named Polar Bear. Okay, so our players parents weren’t too imaginative with the name, but does this ice cube-sliding action-puzzler have enough creativity to grab you and your cold hard cash?
Console Monster writes :"The premise behind Polar Panic is straight forward enough. Taking the role of Polar (the polar bear!) you must navigate your way around a maze saving your family and destroying the enemy in the process. To make things interesting the maze is filled with different types of blocks, from simple blocks of snow that require smashing, to explosive crates that require careful handling to ensure correct use. Being very snowy the floor is quite slippery, so pushing a block will generally set it off sliding in the direction pushed, making things a great deal more challenging requiring careful planning in order to ensure no mistakes are made."
