Icy Tower

Post by eMTe »

One of the few freeware games that achieved cult status.

Harold the Homeboy and his friends have decided to climb a huge tower they found the other day. It's up to you to help them 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 much score as possible. The game brings you custom characters, unlockable floors types, replays to share with your friends, lots of combo rewards and more!

Quite addictive little game. The last days I returned to it over and over again, just to reach a higher level or to get a better combo. So here are my highscores (and I have no idea if they are any good):

Best Score: 2646
Best Combo: 31
Best Floor: 226

Anyone better???

No

Score: 1290
Floor: 129
Best combo: 0 (I dont really get this...)

But I will surely try this game again. IT is very addictive. I just dont have the reflexes for it currently...

I must admitt that I find this game quite dull in many ways... Except the combo thingee :D So I have played a few games (that's a few more than Scythe I assume ;) ) just trying to get a good combo. I do not remember other scores (floor or overall), but my best combo is 50.

I played for 10 minutes before work, and pulled a combo to 32. I also got a much higher one, but I didn't manage to finish it - hit the bottom after a huge jump.

Yeah, the combo aspect is the best part of the game. I rarely got to floor 100, because all I'm doing is trying to combo and failing.

Get down and bust it totally in this crazy platformer with a huge addiction factor! It's simple, but it's fast paced and utterly stylish.

To make combos you need to jump more than once more than one floor up at once (I don't know if you get what i mean) Besties:
Score: around 10k
Combo: around 70
Floor: around 400
I havent played it for a long time thats why I don't know the exact. In fact I never saw a combo as big as 400+ floors O-o
