CNET Editors' review
Though it lacks complex gameplay or a detailed plot, Icy Tower is a carefree way to kill some time. Your goal is simple, but trickier than it sounds: to advance your character as far up the icy tower as possible without falling or being knocked offscreen. You ll be able to jump higher if you run faster, but you must take care not to slip off the platforms into the abyss. The game takes a rather humorous approach, with cartoon-style graphics that let you play as a hip-hop kid or a disco dude in a leisure suit. Although the demo version appears to disable a few of the game s more advanced features, you can still adjust the volume and reconfigure the controls to suit your taste. Icy Tower won t keep many folks on the edge of their seat, but it s likely to provide a few laughs.Publisher's Description
From Free Lunch Design:
Harold the Homeboy has decided to climb a huge tower he found the other day. It's up to you to help him get as high as possible without falling down, and collect extra points by doing cool moves on the way. Icy Tower is a fun and short, yet addictive game, where your only goal is to gain as many points as possible. This can be done in two ways. By getting as high as possible (you get points for each floor you reach) or by making combo jumps. A combo jump is a jump high enough for you to reach platforms two or three floors above you. By doing several uninterupted combo jumps you get bonus points. The best way is to climb really high and make combo jumps on the way. The game brings you custom characters, unlockable floor types, replays to share with your friends, and lots of combo rewards.
Version 1.3.1 may include unspecified improvements, enhancements, and bug fixes.

"Fun Fun Fun - a throwback to earlier games!"
Version: Icy Tower 1.3.1
Pros
It's a really simple concept but it takes practice which makes it a challenge. Love the Dude that says Sweeeet! Funny music also.
Cons
Can't save the game so any progress you make is lost when you die, which I do very often.
Summary
This is a simple, funny and playful game that gives plenty of challenge. It's very addictive. It's easy to forget that the mouse isn't used, but that's part of the challenge too. Minimal graphics - which I think is a good thing.

"Simple but addictive."
Version: Icy Tower 1.3.1
Pros
Challenging, but just right for any level of player. Even if you (ever) get bored of playing this game, you can make your own characters to jump up the tower (if you're into that sort of thing). Watch the recorded demos!!! <3
Cons
Eye candy can be slightly distracting, but WHO CARES! It looks flashy. <3
