Reviews for "Icy Cave of Frustration"

Fine game

The game SEEMS fine (I didn't make it very far), but it it a bit annoying that you loose the game if you miss once, 3 lives would have been better, I think.
Btw, nice thing making a game about cavemen, too bad you had to kill them though :P

Haha well be glad it's not based on a true story! Else we wouldn't be here!

Aptly named

I must admit, I really like the less-is-more stance that this game takes. Single-button controls, and an easy to understand premise. Incredibly simple in theory, but a whole lot trickier than it originally seems. The difficulty curve is quite impressive.

Level progression is quick; you either kill a caveman... or you miss and start all over from the beginning. You can get in quite a few plays in a matter of minutes, which is good since it's easy to foul the whole thing up on higher levels, not to mention just plain blowing a good drop early on by having a twitchy button-pushing finger.

Snagging a few medals for playing always makes for a nice incentive, too. Thanks for a fun and interesting diversion! I can't say I've played anything quite like this here on Newgrounds before, either. I look forward to seeing what else you come up with in the future.

tomdeaap responds:

Haha thanks! Really enjoy these positive reactions!

This is one of those games

That makes you want to keep playing because it's so easy to begin with. Press one button, if you hit the guy, you go on to the next level. Love these kinds of games.

tomdeaap responds:

Haha one of those game you want to stop playing but yet again do not want to stop playing? I know the feeling :3

:3 :3 :3

why when you complete a level a dog shows up like a snow?

tomdeaap responds:

:P I don't 100% understand, but thank you.

Decent game

This game is cool, mainly because of it's simplicity coupled with the smooth gameplay and graphics.

I think however, that the reason why this game is so "hard" and not beaten yet is not the diffculty, but the repeativeness. I did not get frustrated by the hard levels, but bored because I had to constantly start from the beginning, and the first levels are simply a waste of time in the end.

I realise that this repeating gamestyle is probably exactly what you intended, but maybe you might be able to create a game in the future, in which difficulty alone makes it harder to proceed, instead of the constant repetition of early levels. (Hard, if not even impossible to do with the gameplay in this game here, actually)

tomdeaap responds:

Hmm good point you have there!
