Icycle is a 2009 indie platformer video game developed by Damp Gnat, the studio of independent developer Reece Millidge. Released in Flash, the game has players ride a bicycle through a frozen world as a man named Dennis, who has just been cryogenically unfrozen.
A man named Dennis is the lone survivor in a frozen, post-apocalyptic world. After being cryogenically unfrozen beside a pod containing a bicycle, he sees another unseen figure dash away and decides to follow.
Gameplay
Dennis travels through a frozen world, with the goal to avoid every obstacle on the way as the environment changes. Unique among many platformers, Dennis is unable to move backwards. Frozen soap bubbles appear as collectables in every level, with the total amount collected tallied at the end of the game. Upon completing all levels, Dennis gains a bonus article of clothing, with several more unlocking with each replay.
