[Icy tower]       4/5 pants

is a simple 2D game with no extra graphic frills. Claims to have reached 20 million downloads. Even if you own an old rusty processor you can be pretty sure at least one good game – Icy Tower would run without a lag. The game hosts a funny character, the best thing I like about it is the “yo!” it yells at the start of the game.

It  is a vertically scrolling type in which you have to keep jumping on the randomly positioned/scaled floors to save your self from the scrolling screen.  The basic aim in the game is to get a hi-score either a combo hi-score or a total hi-score. Well, my highest score was around 4000 and the combo was some 50 odd floors. Another good feature is that you can record your replay and share with friends.

Some game freaks have reached floors like 428 in tournaments.

It scores a 4 pant rating. One less because it lacks some things games like soldat and Little Fighters have, also I cannot give it and equal rating to soldat and Little Fighters. Otherwise a perfect game for its genre. Very addictive. The games beauty is its minimalism. Most importantly it is a freeware. :)

Addictive game-play – you’ll come back for more! Custom characters – play as anyone! Custom game modes – experiment! Profiles – track your progress Replays – share your best moments! Awesome music and sound – keep humming! Gorgeous pixel graphics – enjoy! Unlocks – what will you find? Truckloads of combos – get more points! Ranks – how good can you get?
