Gameplay

In this humorous epilogue to the motion picture, ‘Disney Frozen: Olaf’s Quest’ hands center spotlight to Olaf, the outgoing, innocent and comically carefree snowman from Disney’s epic comedy adventure. It pairs tightly tuned platforming action with light puzzle-solving elements across 60 imaginative levels, complete with hidden collectibles, side challenges and unlockable customization items. ‘Frozen’s’ gameplay mechanics are informed by Olaf’s unique design, allowing him to use his own frigid yet fluid form to help him out of slippery situations. The game is designed with challenges appropriate for young or new gamers.

Development
