You can change the scrolling speed of the screen, platform size, and the strength of gravity to create an extremely easy or incredibly challenging platform jumping experience. One downside is the lack of options to adjust the difficulty settings. There's no way to make the game any easier or more difficult. You can play the Custom Mode and adjust some settings, but some can't be made easier like scrolling speed and nothing you in this mode counts towards your profile or rank.
While it's not a huge issue or setback, it would have been a nice addition to have some difficulty choices like easy, medium, hard, etc. One positive aspect of the game is the relatively simple controls.
You'll only need to learn a few keys to start playing the game. The arrow keys can move you left or right while the space bar makes you jump. The controls and combos are clearly outlined in the instructions of the game. Additionally, you have the option to customize the controls and change them to something more comfortable for you.
The presentation in Icy Tower is positive overall, with clean and colorful graphics that look very good, especially compared to similar games. There is also a decent although limited soundtrack that complements the gameplay well. The only negative aspect may be the sound effects played when jumping. These sounds can quickly become annoying, but can be disabled if you choose. Another issue with the game is the repetitive nature of the gameplay. In both modes you are constantly jumping from platform to platform until the game ends.
It can get a bit boring after playing for a while. On the other hand, the profile and ranks do give you something to work toward and a reason to replay. Good luck! One of the greatest freeware games of our time! Icy Tower combines great graphics, catchy background music and addictive gameplay. This is another classic by Johan Peitz.

It's about a dude that's you who loves to jump around. One day he found an icy tower which is very slippery and tall. Since then he spends most of his time everyday jumping aimlessly there, alone. You control your character to move right or left, and jump. For me, it is the kind of game that I played and played until the point the frustration grew to be more than the fun I was having. I found this to be a major chore and hard to do as you do not do it through the actual game.
To be fair this could be my lack of technical ability. Also when you download the game, watch that it does not try to install this weird toolbar on your computer as well! Icy Tower can be a fun game for what it is. I think that it is the kind of game that you will either get addicted to or rage quite. I kept going back to try and beat my high score and I did have a lot of fun with the game.
At the same time though, I did get frustrated and this led me to shut the game off. Browse games Game Portals. Is there any feedback you would like to provide?
