Game Icy Tower was developed in 2001 by the Swedish studio Free Lunch Design as a free (freeware) platformer in which the goal is an incredibly simple but addictive challenge: to jump as many floors as possible inside an infinite ice tower.
Gameči preuzthere isju kontrolu nad likom Haroldom the Homeboyom, koristeći tipku SPACE za skok te strelice za kretanis and izgradnju zamaha – what alreadyi zamah, to je viši skok. Posebna čarolija jest u izvođenju "kombija" – nizova višekatnih skokova u nizu, what gameču brings dodatne bodove kvadwarno proporcionalne broju katova .
Kada Harold dosegne peti kat, katovi they start polako padati — a svakih 30 sekundi tempo se ubrzava, what izaziva alarmantan napis "Hurry up!" Game završava when Harold padne ispod ekrana or ga kat obrne. Tada game čuva najviši doseg i najbolji combo, with mogućnost spremanja replaya.
The tower has various types of floors - from stone, ice, wood, metal to clouds and rainbows - which change every 100 floors. Players shared replays, organized tournaments, changed skins and created mods through communities, which is why Icy Tower remains popular 20 years later.
Although simple, Icy Tower attracts casual and hardcore players with its intense rhythm, competitive nature and the possibility of constant improvement. Moreover, in 2012, Icy Tower 2 was released for mobile platforms, and faithfulness to the original is evidenced by numerous ports, including Facebook and Android versions.
Icy Tower is the perfect balance between simplicity and challenge – ideal for quick fun as well as serious competitions among fans.
