<p>Yes, this is a screenshot of the game I propose you take your lunch break playing, and yes I realize its a cartoon gentleman in the nude on a bicycle, just hang in there with me.</p>
<p>Icycle, from game designer <a title="Visit Damp Gnat" href="http://www.dampgnat.com/" target="_blank">Damp Gnat</a>, puts you in the world of the last successful human to be cryogenically frozen before the world became flash frozen in quiet desolation. Or is he?</p>
<p>I realize this is the second post to feature a game and a <a href="http://ad2roanoke.org/im-a-sucker-for-a-good-adventure-game/">game that features a lonely protagonist in a world at a stand still</a>, but it&#8217;s mostly a coincidence, if you conciser I work out of my home. But the visuals are lovely and it a great bit of storytelling in this vectorized treat. A nice use of textures, visual cues and sound gags to ensure the game never gets dull, even after you die for the 70th time. Perfect for a little lunch time inspiration.</p>
