ICEY is a game about... killing Judas, I think. You are instructed by the narrator that your goal is to kill Judas, the evilest of the evils, the monsterest of the monsters. That's why you're on this world, this is your only goal, this is where you're expecing the satisfaction from.

The game basically is a 2D hack-and-slash with upgradeable skills, stunning graphics and a blue-haired protagonist. I like blue-haired protagonists. In Dex you also played a blue-haired protagonist. That was great. Here you are blue-haired again. Can anything go wrong? Not really, if you can handle things which you don't think would happen.

The combat is solid, the movement on the screen looks great, I really enjoyed dashing through the screen for long seconds without touching the ground. Also, you can upgrade your skills. I loved the background music and the level backgrounds too. You have secret and not-too-obvious areas to access, so exploring worth the time.


I expected a hack-and-slash with a blue-haired cool chick in it. With this in mind, I fired up the game once I downloaded it. One minute later I almost quit. When I heard the narrator for the first time, I thought it was the most unprofessional work. Ever. In a videogame. It took me a little to realize what's going on, and after a few more minutes I started enjoying it and had a lot of fun with it.

I really liked:

• the graphics
  
• the fluidity of the movement
  
• the animations
  
• the music
  
• the pretty level backgrounds

I had problems with:

• the on-screen prompts. It's hard to access the upgrade stations. It just says "Press B" when you approach, but you have to be on a specific spot to access the terminal even though the prompt is up on the screen.
  
• The same with the side roads where you were supposed to press B.

If you expect nothing more than a traditional hack-and-slash where you go from start to finish, defeat the end-boss and feel good about it, this might not be the game for you. If you don't mind sidebranching here and there and you're in a mood for the endlessly talking narrator, get it.
