Icy Tower is back after 25 years, and it's on sale on Steam

Icy Tower, the cult jumping game, returns after 25 years in a new version made by the people behind the original. It's already on Steam, with a discount.

If you ever lost an afternoon climbing an endless tower, Icy Tower is back. After 25 years, the game returns in a new version, and the people who made the original are the ones behind it.

The new Icy Tower is available on Steam, and right now it can be bought at a reduced price. The title of the news says you can get it "for pennies", though the exact price and the length of the sale were not part of the material we have, so check the store page before you count on it.

What is the new Icy Tower?

It is a remake of the cult original, built by its original authors rather than by an outside studio. That matters for a game whose whole appeal is a simple idea and a feel that fans remember well. Details about new features, platforms beyond Steam or changes to the gameplay have not been confirmed in the information available.

Where can you buy it?

On Steam, the PC game store. The discount is live now, so the cheapest moment to pick it up is likely the current one, but sales on Steam come with an end date, and that date is worth checking on the game's page.

For anyone who played the original, the appeal is obvious: a familiar game, rebuilt by the same hands, at a lower price than usual. For everyone else, it is a cheap way to find out why people kept coming back to it for a quarter of a century.
