Level 7, Jesus christ. Finally beat the game, but gosh thought I was gonna have to stay up all night.

This reminded me of Samorost. Somehow.

I love this game so much! Everything about it. It's unique, great animated, great sounds. I beat the game today finally and played it over 3 times today. I find level 3 is the hardest, I keep falling.

@blackkat77 thanks for your enthusiasm. If you have any thoughts for the sequel I'd love to hear them!  The facebook page is at - facebook.com/icycle.games

I love this game I found it on abc.net.au. You have just gained a fan I shall be watching to see the games you develop in future.

[superjuusto]

best game ever!

I love this game: the art, the sound, the intro, the absurd plot, the whole ambience. Especially the art of the backgrounds. The first screen reminds me of the famous Japanese picture "The Great Wave", by Hokusai. I assume that that's deliberate - am I right?

Haven't passed level six yet, so I'm surprised to see city levels to look forward to. (A queue of frozen people? How quickly did the ice age hit?)

[dampgnat]

Well spotted Nexitan, the other references are more subtle. Swing on the thermals at the very end of level 6 to reach the ledge.

Just played it today, this is an awesome game! I love it!

[AndrewNoNumbers]

I've only played it once through. But I have to say it's one of the best Flash games I've EVER played. The gameplay's extremely innovative, it's humorous enough, and very artistic.

u neeed a good CPU mine runs slow

[TfromO]

how many clothes do you get in the game?

i have 4 now..

[dampgnat]

Wow, you've really kept at it!

There are only 6... i think. I didn't think anyone would still be playing it beyond this point. :)

[TfromO]

XD now you know:P

[TfromO]

there are 6, the last one is a pillon on his head :P

@dampgnat

The version on NG is a bit buggy (at least I don't think it was intentional) as once you close the browser, you'll have to start from scratch to get all the clothing again. :(

I had a great time playing it. I would LOVE to learn how you did the backgrounds though--I'd like to try that style myself. Was it just masking over a set image with varying transparencies? I have no idea--but it was so distinct and clean. I'd love to give it a try!

[dampgnat]

Thanks Skaijo, no bug, I just haven't figured out how to save without access to cookies via php. Solutions most welcome!

Art is just using minimal tones and simple shapes, no masks. Its a good discipline :)

[sucrilhoilho]

[jimlefevre]
