| Icy Tower 1.4 out now! |

Hello everybody! Long time ago I use to be a regular at allegro.cc but when I coded less and less c/c++ I became inactive. Nowadays I do almost all my game programming in AS3, but recently I returned to my roots to make another Allegro project! Some of you might remember the old game Icy Tower and we've dusted it off and given it new shiny clothes and several other improvements. So I'm very happy to return here and tell you that a new version of Icy Tower has been released! {"name":"598687","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/1\/b\/1b9e629d965d881646aa7cf37b431789.png","w":640,"h":480,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/1\/b\/1b9e629d965d881646aa7cf37b431789"} More info on the project page: http://www.allegro.cc/depot/IcyTower Have fun! -- |

I got the game last night. It has a nice page with lots of stats now, so the old score/floor/combo stats are just a tiny part of all the things you can try to beat. Also, I can report that the game works in wine. So all of us Linux ppl can enjoy it. |

Johan! Surely being such an 'early' member of Allegro you won't forget the ol' X-G classic; NO SCREENSHOT NO DOWNLOAD! Very nice btw.

When you have been around that long, you get a free pass. If someone is here and doesn't know what Icy Tower is, they have been living a very sheltered life, and really need to download and play it. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ |

Awesome! Will try it when I get home to my PC (unless you have a mac binary lying around somewhere...?)

That may be true for all us old geezers that know who Peitz is. |

What Trezker said, plus I will test it right after I will be back @home ! Edit: Ho, yeah, and I offer to Johan a part of my free time if he ever want someone to make a linux build ! "Code is like shit - it only smells if it is not yours" |

I hope the irony of the Free Lunch Design Web Toolbar isn't lost on anyone. I like the new stats; it's definitely an improvement to the old Icy Tower -- Ryan Patterson - <http://cgamesplay.com/> |

I got like 3000 points. Anyway, I played the game in wine and I got an error about not being able to save the replay after I died. I think my wine configuration emulates XP or 2000. Where are you trying to save the game to? |

One word, "Sweet!". I remember playing the old version for a while, but this one is great. I love the new graphics, as well as the profile system and replays. Nice work! |

I intended to play until I got "You've got to be kidding me!" (no way!), but once I got that I decided that I'd better keep playing to get rank A. I like the profile thing, but I've already had more than enough reminders to get Icy Tower for my mobile phone. The endless advertising is almost enough to make my go back to 1.3. -- or edit the exe to change the messages. Incidentally, I never managed to get to floor 400 for rank A. I got to 380 twice though. I'm pleased that 'the worm' still works as a playable character in the new version. -edit- ----------- |

Thanks for the kind words and feedback! The profiles and replays are saved in a subdirectory to where the game is installed. Others have managed to get in running under wine so it should be doable. As for the toolbar and the mobile game. I use the toolbar personally and I think it's great. For people that are interested in FLD it's a great way to be in touch with the community as it can be updated in real time. On the other hand, I fully understand that it might look bad it some people's eyes, but in this case the good outweighs the bad. And the mobile game, well - we just want to spread the love. -- |

Apologies Johan! Had I known the legacy you carry around here I would not have been so abrupt in NSND tactics!

Don't worry. Johan is just tracing your ip to your home and aiming his nuclear weapons on it. "Code is like shit - it only smells if it is not yours" |

I liked this game when I played it before. It looks even better now, but running on a mac under vmware fusion I don't get any sound or music, which makes it kind of a disappointment.

I have to say, I love the new automatic replay management. Noteworthy replays are automatically saved. Greatness -- Ryan Patterson - <http://cgamesplay.com/> |

I like the new graphics, the colors are more pleasant to the eye I think. Johan Peitz said: I use the toolbar personally and I think it's great.
Come on... seriously? |
