John Bedford (Modojo): Nothing need make too much sense in the world of mobile gaming, and in Icycle: On Thin Ice that's allowed one-man developer Reece Millidge to create something suitably surreal. Putting you in charge of a naked man on a bicycle, you'll have to gently steer and jump him through some beautifully crafted stages in pursuit of the love of his life. Millidge's eye for detail has led to a lengthy development cycle for the game, so how's it all turned out in the end?
Icycle is kind of a racing puzzle game, where you're riding a bicycle through an icy landscape and you have to find out (sometimes through patience, sometimes through trial and error) how to get from the left side to the right side. It was certainly a hard sale for me, I didn't think it would be a very good game when I picked it up.
I was happily incorrect.
"But free-to-play is good for the market, as long it's done respectfully, Chillingo General Manager Ed Rumley told TabTimes Games."
This week’s Cost of a Coffee game is Icycle: On Thin Ice from Damp Gnat, where you are a cyclist who must negotiate a series of dynamic levels… tackle out.
