Quote MH:
A fun game, very much in the vein of Icy Tower. The control is not as fun though, because you're quite slow-moving until you get the boots powerup. This doesn't feel as good as moving quickly, but as you get along in the game, it matters less (and you get boots!). It definitely can get both intense and addicting. However, the graphics are of poor quality. What matters is how it plays though, so try it out and see if it hooks you! Try it a couple times though, you have to make it a ways in to really get hooked. - MH

Oh no! Gink's in trouble! Although he's always smiling, so you could have fooled me. Gink is essentially a reversed Icy Tower, or a Mr. Driller without the drilling. You climb down, trying to stay in the middle of the screen, rather than going to one of the extremes (top or bottom). Gink will smash blocks beneath him if he has enough speed, or you can blast them with his limited use bomb ability. Unlike Icy, there are also a couple powerups in the game. The graphics are nothing special, but it does have some nice sound fx. It's a fun little game that should keep you entertained for several minutes at a time (much like Icy would, but Icy's free'er). First Impression: 7, Lasting Impression: 5. - MK

Arcade game kind of like a reverse Ice Climber where you keep falling towards the bottom of the screen. Reminds me of PuppyTron ? simple concept, games are short and you keep going back for one more game. I don?t know what?s going on with ?story mode? or the funky installer that doesn?t install a start menu group, but hey, I love this game. Needs online scoring. - SR
