Fun combat and fun story! NOTE: PLEASE switch the narrator's voice to the Chinese dub before playing. It's the most expressive voice, and really ties everything together.

Pretty short game, really fun cathartic combat but the story does go all over the place. Apparently a lot of players complain about hitstun which means they didn't pay attention to the tutorial, you can recover from hitstun instantly by pressing the jump button to recover a la kingdom hearts.

TL;DR - If you enjoy The Stanley Parable and fast-paced 2D action games, this will be perfect for you. Be expecting plenty of 4th wall breaks and a shockingly brief amount of time to complete this title (I got all achievements and beat the game in a little over 4 hours). Gonna' be honest, going into this game blind, I did not expect it to be what it was. I will keep this mostly spoiler-free, so no need to worry, I'm not going to ruin anything that you don't experience in the first 5 minutes of the game. That said, the appearance of the narrator completely caught me off-guard and it was only after a bit of playing did I realize what the game was truly going for. I will say, I'm not too crazy on a lot of games that break the 4th wall so heavily, but I didn't hate what was done here, so that's a plus in my book. Now, I will say, this game plays so amazingly, I really wish they could have made it longer for that alone. It's so intense, fast-paced, fairly flashy, and the dash ability is amazing, both in and out of combat. Major proper to the battle designers here because they definitely nailed it. The music and sound design were pretty spot on too, although I am not super crazy on the electro/techno/synth-y sort of genres on display in this title. Also, I will say that I do enjoy the idea of the game's plot as a whole, but I do kinda' wish there was a bit more to one half of it. Not on the 4th wall break side of things, but the other plot. Keeping it vague for newbies, but those who have played the game should get what I mean. All in all, I enjoyed this title quite a lot and definitely look forward to sequel, or another game by this crew that plays kinda' like this one. I highly recommend it if you want something to just sit down for an afternoon and blast through some enemies and a fairly short story.

ICEY is a 2D side-scrolling action game, with fast-paced combat, stylish visuals, and a fun narrative structure. In it, you control the titular character, ICEY, a cyborg on a mission to defeat an evil AI known as Judas and to uncover the truth behind your existence. I would call the combat system a highlight, with fluid and responsive controls, combos and special attacks. And you unlock more of them as you progress through the game. But, then again, I am bad at video-games, so take that with a pinch of salt. What sets "ICEY" apart for me, and what first drew me to it, is its innovative storytelling mechanic. Throughout the game, you are guided by a narrator who provides instructions and commentary on your actions. You have the freedom to ignore the narrator's guidance and explore the world as you see fit. And in fact I highly recommend you do that. Someone might even teach you how hard game design is... or make you purchase another copy... idk To me, ICEY offers a blend of engaging enough gameplay, visuals which I personally really like, and an intriguing narrative structure. Think Stanley Parable but side-scrolling beat'em up and instead of you being a silent office worker, you're a badass silent cyborg girl that fudges shit up. Fun
