Icy Tower Returns!

Hello everyone!

Something I know many of you have been waiting for, for many years, is finally happening.

We're making a new Icy Tower game, and it is going to be fantastic!

Key art for Icy Tower. A tower reaches up to the sky and Harold the Homeboy comes jumping out of it.

If you can’t wait, go straight to the steam page and wishlist the game!

New to the game? Welcome to the ultimate vertical platforming game, putting your nerves and skills to the true test. Previous versions have been played by over 40 million players! Check the steam page!

All new vibrant pixel perfect art!

The first Icy Tower released in 2001 and for this new version I am again teaming up with Anders “Neo” Svensson, who I made the original game with. Plus - we’ve also got help from some really amazing pixel artists bringing everything alive.

Trailer for Icy Tower
Check out the trailer on YouTube!

Feels great to finally be able to talk about the “secret project”. Expect more updates in the future about how the development is going and what we’re planning. Right now we’ve got the main gameplay nailed down and it feels great to play. Rudy is pixeling characters and Franek is making backgrounds for the tower’s many themes. Lu Nascimento helped us with the amazing key art.

Wishlist the game on Steam now!

We’re doing our utmost to make this the ultimate Icy Tower game, true to the original but with modern polish and some exciting new features. With the game’s 25th anniversary coming up next year, this feels like the best possible timing.
