Game Review
Imagine the next ice age has arrived and the world as we know it has peacefully frozen in time but to one naked survivor it's cold and lonely as hell! You found a kids push bike and you ride over the icy terrain collecting bubbles while avoiding various hazards like icicles and spikes.
The special feature implemented is push bike can only advance, you cannot pedal back so remembering the best route is part of the challenge. I don't mind challenges and the trial and error through the game. Dying multiple times to figure out the way to go feels pretty accomplishing.
The controls are okay. Holding back seems to slow you down for the parts where you're going too fast. The first run was not smooth, I had lots of deaths which are avoidable. In my opinion, it's not really that bad afterwards. If you play multiple times, you will notice he gets clothing. From scarf to shirt to underwear to sweater and lastly traffic cone. The developer is being creative here, why wear a traffic cone on his head instead of getting him a pants?
The game has good sound effects especially when the guy's echo "hello?!". I like it! Overall, it's a humoristic game; a nudist man cycling an undersized bike in the snow and ice. Thoroughly enjoyed it all the way.
P.S. First post of 2013, I wish you happy new year! ^^
