This is obviously a Q*Bert clone.

It sounds like "Mr. Freeze", to me.  In that game you were an
ice cube with a face, arms, and legs.  You bounced from platform
to platform, changing the colours.  The bottom of the screen was
a fire pit.  Monsters would start bouncing down the pyramid too,
and others moved horizontally across the screen.

When you got hit by anything, you melted in a little smear down
to the bottom of the screen.

Are you sure about the name "Frozen Land"?  Perhaps the game
was marketted under both names.
