Hello everyone!

Only one week until launch and we're busy with setting up the last bits and pieces. Polishing UIs, optimising servers, and squashing any last bugs.

We'd like to take a moment to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has supported us and been part of this journey. Not just during the development of this title, but through 25 years of Icy Tower history! We're only days away from starting a next chapter. Exciting times!

On our last post, we received some pretty clear feedback regarding the pricing. Icy Tower has always been a game tightly connected to its community, adding features and adapting to the needs of the players. We plan to continue that tradition.

With this in mind, we have revisited our pricing and landed on the following:

• base price USD 9.99

• launch discount 15%

• multi-variable regional pricing

It is worth highlighting that the multi-variable regional pricing further lowers the price of the game in many countries. We are also making additional adjustments in some markets (eg Poland) where we feel the suggested pricing doesn't get it quite right. Feel free to explore Steam's regional price settings further on Steam's pricing page: https://partner.steamgames.com/pricing/explorer

Finally, we have plenty more ideas for Icy Tower and are looking forward to continue to develop the game, adding features and improvements along the way

See you on November 10th!

All the best,
Johan and Anders

Less than two weeks until launch, and we hope you are as excited as we are! Let’s take this opportunity to highlight some cool things in the game.

First off, we just hit 35 000 wishlists. We’re super happy about this and it looks like we will get a good launch. A heartfelt thanks to everyone who helps us spreading the word.

Second, a lot of you have been asking about the price and Icy Tower will cost USD 11.99. (Edit: based on your feedback we're lowering the price!)For regional pricing, the game will make use of Steam’s multi-variable conversion with a few adjustments where we feel it is needed.

Ok let’s talk about the actual game. First, lets revisit the Kickback.

At its core, Icy Tower has always been a game about pure skill. No upgrades, incremental changes, or power ups. This game follows that tradition but we’ve added another game mechanic to supplement combo jumping. By staying in combo mode, you can build up the Kickback. If the Kickback is fully charged and you fall off the screen, you will be sent back into the game. Kickbacks take progressively longer to charge, so use them wisely!

Next, game modes! At launch, the game will have three game modes.

Classic - Icy Tower like you remember it, do your best to climb as high as you can in the tower! Fall down and you have to start over. Punishing but addicting, every run is a new chance for greatness! This time we’re also adding the Kickback, and access to global top lists from within the game.

Daily - Every day a unique challenge and seed is created that is the same for all players. The challenges adds quirks and changes to the tower making sure everyone is on their toes. Come back every day to experience new modifiers and build up your streak.

Custom - A chance to get under the hood of the game and set it up exactly they way you want it. Perfect for practicing or just goofing around.

Last but not least, Harold and Dave have got some new friends in this game. First out is Non-binary Bob and Sally Stylish. Each with their own look, sounds, and music. Who will be your favourite?

Oh, let's not forget about replays! Any run in the game can be saved and shared with your friends, and you can of course watch replays made by others.

See you on the 10th of November!
