About Floe Sumo
Every winter the herds of the northern lakes settle who gets the best grazing on the ice itself. Eight floes, from a quiet mill pond to the foot of a glacier, and the water is very cold.
A sumo io brawl on a shrinking ice floe: shove musk oxen into the water, scoop snow to grow heavier, shed it to dash or throw. Solo or with friends.
How to play Floe Sumo
Steer your musk ox around the floe and shove the others into the water; the last ox on the ice wins the bout, and if the clock runs out, the one on the ice with the most knock-outs wins. Slide over a snow drift and it packs onto your coat: every clump (up to three) makes you bigger and heavier, so your shoves move anyone while theirs barely move you, but you also turn slower and slide further. Spend a clump to Dash forward and ram with double weight, or to Throw a snowball that knocks a rival back and kicks you away from the edge. With no snow you still have a short shove on a cooldown. The rim breaks off ring by ring, warned by a crack a moment before, so the floe gets smaller as the bout goes on.

Features
Eight floes, 24 bouts
Millpond, Blackwater, Fjord Gale, Harbour, Turnstile, Twin Floe, Thaw and Glacier Front each have three bouts and their own rule: cracking ice, wind, mooring posts, a turning wall, a floe that splits, slush and breaking patches.
Snow is weight
Each drift you scoop adds a clump, up to three, and makes your ox bigger and heavier. Spend one to dash and ram with double weight, or to throw a snowball.
Three kinds of rival
Bruisers grow heavy and shove, Skaters stay light and dash, Pitchers throw. Each floe ends with a champion that starts with two clumps.
Endless and daily floe
Endless mode keeps sending rivals while the floe changes its rule every 45 seconds. The daily floe is the same for everyone and shows how many players you beat.
Play with friends
Two to six people share one floe, with rivals filling it to eight oxen, over three rounds. Send a link to start; a rival takes over if someone drops.
Looks you earn
Seven woven blankets, brass or ribbon horn caps and four coat colours open as you clear floes, knock oxen out and play endless runs.
Tips
- Come at a rival from the middle of the floe, so your shove sends them toward the rim and not past you into open ice.
- Three clumps make you hard to move but slow to stop: near the rim, shed one with a Throw away from the water to kick yourself back.
- A Dash rams with double weight for a moment, so even a light ox can bump a heavy one off the edge.
- Watch for the crack line: the ring outside it breaks off a moment later, with anyone standing on it.
- In Blackwater keep moving while you are heavy: standing still cracks the ice under you.
Frequently asked questions
Who wins when the time runs out?
The ox still on the ice with the most knock-outs. If two are tied, the one nearer the middle of the floe wins.
Who gets the knock-out?
Whoever touched the ox last in the three seconds before it went in, by a shove or a snowball. An ox that slides off alone gives nobody the point.
Why can I not stop near the edge?
Snow makes you heavier, and a heavy ox carries its speed further on ice. Shed a clump with a Throw toward the middle of the floe, and the push kicks you back from the water.
How do I play on a phone?
Put a thumb anywhere on the screen and slide it the way you want to go, like a joystick. Tap Dash or Throw with the other thumb.
