Cold War
Raise the flag. Begin the match.
One coast, one rival, one flag left standing. Calm is a lullaby, Brisk fights fair, Blizzard cheats.
The Cold War just got colder
Hold the ice.
A real-time strategy game of penguin war. Build the colony, feed the flock, and hold your stretch of coast against rival flags, hungry locals, and eventually the saucers. Coming soon to iPhone and iPad.
THE COAST IS QUIET
The colony, on the move
A parade of penguin workers and soldiers marches across the ice, tailed by one hopeful leopard seal.
Four ways to hold the ice
Pick your war
Survival: Polar Night
The morning never came. But they remember.
Hold one colony through the long dark as the Hunger climbs six rungs. Every day you last is the record.
Campaign: The Fish War
It started over fish. It always does.
The whole war in twelve missions, one stretch of coast at a time.
Two Flags
Sled House: open. Bring a rival.
Head-to-head against a friend on the same wifi. No servers, no internet, no mercy.

Field dossiers
Meet the colony
Every unit in the game is somebody. Sixty-nine characters report for duty; here are twelve of the files. Tap one for a word from the field.
The Chick Engineer
Emperor · Fisher
Hard hat, no fear. The entire war economy rests on this baby.
The Ice Trooper
Emperor · Infantry
Railgun rifle, standard goggles, unshakeable discipline.
The Aurora Mesmer
Rockhopper · Mind Control
Stares into the lights so you don't have to. Steals one enemy at a time.
The Husky Sled Team
Emperor · Fast Raider
Three rescue huskies and a sled full of bad intentions.
The Elephant Seal Howitzer
Emperor · Artillery
Four tons of artillery with whiskers. Outranges base defenses.
The Krill Tide
Rockhopper · Swarm
One order buys five. Individually pathetic, collectively an apocalypse.
The Belly Sledders
Rockhopper · Fast Raider
Belly-down at highway speed. Aim them at fishing lines, never apologize.
The Kraken Deepcaller
Rockhopper · Sea Hunter
A colossal squid with a grudge and excellent reach.
The Skua Bomber
Emperor · Bomber
A sky pirate with a payload problem. Buildings hate this.
The Weddell Frostsinger
Rockhopper · Medic
A siren seal whose song knits feathers back together.
Little Green Invader
Wild Coast · Tier VI
Big head, bigger eyes, no manners, and a ray gun that goes PEW.
The Colossal Squid
Wild Coast · Night Terror
It only surfaces in the dark. Four tentacles, four places at once.
That's 12 of 69. The rest introduce themselves in the game.
Two flocks, one coast
Choose your colony
Tech
Emperor Dominion
The old empire of the deep ice. Railguns, thermal cores, discipline. Fewer, tougher, colder.
Magic
Rockhopper Clans
Wild crests riding the aurora. Hexes, totems, krill by the billion. Cheaper, faster, louder.
Both flocks recruit the locals: leopard seals, skua bombers, orcas, and one colossal squid with a grudge.
Meanwhile, offshore
The coast fights back
POLAR NIGHT is survival against the food chain. The Hunger climbs six rungs, every rung hungrier than the last, and above them all waits the Star Trawler.
- Pests
- Hunters
- Packs
- Siege
- Leviathans
- The Visitors

What you are getting into
The dossier
The Field Promotions
Units that survive get promoted. Knockouts earn chevrons, chevrons sharpen the soldier, and an Admiral wears a star and a name it earned. Losing a veteran hurts. Good.
The Hunger
Survival's threat ladder has six rungs: PESTS, HUNTERS, PACKS, SIEGE, LEVIATHANS, THE VISITORS. Above them all: the Star Trawler.
The Colony Economy
Fish is the everyday currency: everything eats. Driftwood and stone raise the buildings, crude gets pumped and refined, and fuel, steel, and guns win the war. 15 maps of coast to fight over.
The Sled House
Two Flags PvP and survival co-op run device to device over your own wifi. A friend's phone can drop into your live POLAR NIGHT run. No servers, no accounts, no internet required.
Made for Touch
Landscape only, built for touch from the first tap. The command deck keeps orders one thumb away on iPhone and iPad, iOS 17 or later.
Honest by Design
No ads, no accounts, no analytics, no tracking, no third-party anything. Saves live on your device and the whole game plays offline. Every sprite and every sound is generated by the game's own code.
