No goombas here, but Icycle is better for it. Jagged icicles, heavy falling objects, ice flows that push you ever faster through increasingly tight spaces, and more stand to keep you from progressing. The only things you’ll have to worry about now are environmental hazards that stand in your way as you work to your next objective.
Unlike Mario and his adventures, there are no enemies or powerups in Icycle: On Thin Ice. In terms of control, it feels mildly reminiscent of a Super Mario game. In midair you can press and hold the jump button again to deploy your umbrella. The controls are incredibly straightforward. You’ll controller Dennis as he rides his bicycle across the frozen landscape with nothing to aid him but an umbrella he found to slow his fall. Icycle: On Thin Ice is a puzzle platformer. After a brief daydream, he sets out to explore and see what he can find in this forsaken world. How did he get here? Where is everyone else? Where are his clothes? He’s awoken to an ice age, naked as his name day, and the only other thing available to him is a children’s bicycle. Dennis has survived, deep asleep in his cryogenic chamber. For all intents and purposes, the world we once knew is now no more. How does the sequel, Icycle: On Thin Ice, hold up? Will you lose yourself in time playing it or should it have stayed in cryostasis? Now, Damp Gnat has brought out the sequel to Icycle, a puzzle platformer that has you cycling (literally, on a bicycle) through environments, simply trying to survive. Chillingo are no strangers to bringing out unique games that few others would be reticent to touch.
