Thinicetrobarrier was a temporary game that appeared only during the April Fools' Party 2008. It is a combination of Thin Ice and Astro Barrier. Despite being a mixture of the two, it is the exact same as Astro Barrier, gameplay wise, with a few aesthetic changes, changing the start screen and the ships in the game to puffles. During the party, standalone Thin Ice and Astro Barrier were not playable.

- A line of text is changed in the game instructions ("Press the LEFT and RIGHT arrow keys to move your ship." is changed to "Press the LEFT and RIGHT arrow keys to move your... um... puffle?")
