Gamezebo - "Icycle leaves so many questions floating around in my head. Why is the protagonist naked, especially in such harsh, freezing conditions? Why is he riding on such a tiny, ridiculous bike? Why is he so desperate to kiss a fish on the lips? I'm totally OK with having these questions left unanswered, though, given just how entertaining this entire, messed-up experience is."
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.
