Ice Baby Quest is a weird little indie game that exists almost entirely because of an internet joke. The goal is simple and ridiculous: find the Ice Age Baby and get rid of him for reasons that make very little sense. It doesn’t try to explain itself much, and that’s part of why it works.
The game plays directly off the Ice Age Baby meme, where the character is treated like an annoying villain instead of a cute movie mascot. You usually play as Bernie Sanders, running around rooftops, caves, and strange areas while NPCs say things that feel half-random and half-deliberate. The tone stays silly the entire time and never takes itself seriously.
Gameplay is basic platforming mixed with light puzzle solving. You jump across gaps, collect coins, buy items like swords or machetes, and cut through vines or blocked paths. Exploration is quick, and nothing is overly complicated, which keeps the game moving.
Once you locate the Ice Age Baby, you choose how to end the run. The options include fire, drowning, crushing, or lightning. Speedrunners usually go for lightning since it’s the fastest, and the game has built a small community around finishing runs as quickly as possible.
