Icycle: On Thin Ice is well worth a pop, with varied, exciting, clever gameplay the dish of the day. In later levels when the action became more heated, I found myself slip-sliding around a bit too much, and wished the movement were a bit tighter.

#ICYCLE ON THIN ICE FULL#
For the first half of the game, I felt like I was in full control and the virtual buttons were doing the job a-ok. At least that’s what I could piece together based on the developer’s website for Icycle: On Thin Ice ( out now, 0.99 ), a game where you control an utterly naked man riding a tiny little tricycle across various frozen wastelands. The controls are refreshingly solid – to a point. The award winning sequel to the classic platform adventure puzzler - Icycle (included). Don’t collect anything! Stop jumping! It’s all rather simple, yet works wonders to get you going back over and over to collect absolutely everything (and if you do manage to collect everything, you’ll get the original Icycle game for free!) You’ll want to keep going back to see each level again and again too, thanks to special challenges that ask you to try tackling scenarios in different ways. You’d be hard-pushed to find a game on iOS that looks as fantastically smooth and crisp as Icycle, and given there are hundreds of games released for iOS every day, that’s really saying something. The visuals are tidy and vivid, and slide around with gorgeous finesse. The amount of creativity that has been bunged into every corner of this experience is rather extraordinary.Īnd the game is remarkably good-looking throughout. Remember when I said in the intro that you’re looking to kiss a fish? That’s probably one of the less-strange things you’ll witness in this game. It helps that Icycle isn’t just varied – it’s wonderfully weird and hilarious too. You should definitely consider forgoing a day’s worth of caffeine fix, when you can pick this game up for the cost of a small Americano.
