We now move into the Habitat, a place in where habitants of IF-1 live I suppose. As you might probably notice, I try to be methodical while exploring the maze, by going one floor at a time and going everywhere possible on that floor or section before moving to another. Otherwise it might turn tedious looking for just one piece of ice I haven't checked, trying to remember which ones were left on purpose. An alternative I have been trying a couple of times is full cleanup by destroying all spherids, which lets you make sure you addressed every single ice block found. But that takes considerably more time to do, freezing is a bit faster, but can backfire if you don't remember the ones you re-freeze heh.

This one is still simple to navigate. Unfrozen soldiers can be tedious to work with sometimes, specially when you want to destroy a spherid, because soldiers always try to freeze. Also they might have some facination with ice/fire balls, they often run towards them for some reason. Speaking of balls (lol), it's one of the things in this game that often takes me by surprise, as you will see, it can hit in your face like one of those bouncy toy pranks. Quite annoying. Luckily those just bounce around in a 2D plane.

Things can also escalate quickly when too many spherids are running around as well.
