What's new

Version 1.3.6 Can now Heal when you skip, + more

2023-12-19

Heya everyone. I finally did another update for ICEwall, now that Skogdal demo has finally released ;) If you are interested in checking out my new game, you can see it here: Skogdal For this update I have added something that's has been asked about a lot: • When you skip a draft, you Heal 1. Making it so you can alway Heal at least 1 between levels in a clutch. • Added player invulnerability when you have defeated all enemies in a level (so remaining shots can't hurt you), I'm surprised I haven't thought about this before, but as I saw it mentioned in a review, if felt like an obvious thing to add. • Re-enabled Holiday decorations, cheers! • Edit: Fixed a bug where sometimes changing FPS settings didn't save properly. Happy Holidays everyone!

Would like to give this a positive review but it simply isn't worth the price. Very fun and unique for an hour. No real replayability, unless you don't care about the roguelike aspect just want to play space invaders with new bosses. 1-2 possible builds, each run feels the same and is trying to do the same thing. No real variance between runs. Not worth $9, I'd say buy it on sale for half off or better.
