Icemaze Cave: Skate Escape

A well made, challenging puzzle game with balanced levels. The general atmosphere is quite soothing and sometimes you question yourself if you ever wanna leave the cave. Cave is love, cave is life

Interesting puzzle game, where in you play as the kid Daniel who just moved to Alaska with his mom. The locals are playing in caves, known to the natives as 'Ice mazes', where in they perform the skate of their people. Daniel now faces the seemingly impossible task of gaining new friends, trying to follow the trails of potential comrades on the ice between the ice mazes. Alaskians, being one with the ice, have mastered the skills of turning and always find the quickest way. Daniel, who up until now have only been one with the keyboard, has not mastered turning. Hilarity ensues. I want to note that the story parts of this review is my own interpretation of the game. The creator has seemingly drawn inspiration from FROM SOFTWARE titles such as Dark Souls, where showing less of the story makes the player discover and draw connections from clues in the environment. The puzzle part is solid. +Puzzles +Story +Music

A truly comfy puzzle game, which will inevitably make you feel stupid when you finally find the solutions, after spending way too long sliding around in a level.

얼음 동굴 모험 스케이트를 타고 얼음 동굴을 탐험하는 게임입니다. 벽이나 돌을 만나기 전에는 멈출 수 없는 미끄러운 공간이며 앞만 보고 돌진하고 돌진하여 다음 지역으로 이동을 해야하죠. 몇번의 움직임으로 탈출하느냐에 따라서 별을 달성하게 되고, 동굴의 어딘가에 있는 노란 미네랄을 수집할 수도 있습니다. 보통 3별을 위한 횟수 내에는 노란 미네랄을 획득할 수 없기에 최소 2번의 플레이를 하여야만 하죠. 도전과제를 위해!

A lovely simple puzzle game. The single music track is pleasant, the sprite work is charming, sound design is great, its very basic but I really liked it. The worst thing about it is that there are no mechanics other than sliding and so the level design is not very interesting even at its best, it was not challenging for me to get a perfect score on every level. That's a drawback for a puzzle game but I did enjoy my time with it, its a very casual game and it was satisfying to complete the levels correctly.

Icemaze Cave is a simple "ice puzzle" game in the style of Quell and Atomix. You must navigate a grid to reach the exit, but whenever you move, you cannot stop or change directions until you hit a wall. This game has no originality in it's mechanics, but it makes up for it with a variety of polished levels. If you're just trying to complete each level, the gentle difficulty curve can make this game enjoyable if it is your first ice puzzle-type game, but getting a perfect score on each level may still pose a challenge to experienced players.
