TIL there were once mobile ports of @johanpeitz 's Icy Tower (I can only find knock offs in the Play Store now 🤔)!

But it's coming up on its 21st birthday, and I'm wondering if there's a #pico8 port yet!?

@johanpeitz

Ok, I spent a couple hours this weekend to prototype an Icy Tower demake in #pico8!

Introducing: ❄️ Icy 8 ❄️

Heck, the link doesn't work. 😓

@jesstelford There's actually been a bunch over the years. Icy Tower Mobile (for java phones), and a bunch of iOS/android versions Icy Tower 2, Zombie Jump, Temple Jump ,Icy Tower Classic.

Toying around with potential new versions atm but nothing is set in stone. :D

@johanpeitz 😍

You still own the IP? That's fantastic 🎉

Need a hand with anything? I'm still sad this Sonic mobile game never got made due to IP rights: https://twitter.com/Nitrome/status/1473781829358473226

“Did you ever wonder why we added wall running to #SuperLeapDay? https://t.co/fJujTBxpBx A long time ago we pitched a #Sonic take on the Leap Day format. Sadly the #SEGA gods did not see the potential. But we did make this demo and we liked the mechanic so decided to keep it.”

@jesstelford Yeah, I do. I didn't for a while, but it found its way back :D
@jesstelford @johanpeitz what a blast from the past. I used to be obsessed with that game!

I remember the first time I found out about the rainbow level: I think it was some low-res video encoded in an .fla - could barely see what was going on through the pixelation, but still blew my mind! 😍
