Icy Tower
Icy Tower is a Windows jumper from Free Lunch Design. The first public build is dated 22 Dec 2001. You run along a ledge, and the faster you are moving, the higher the next jump goes. The tower does not end.
What Icy Tower is
Johan Peitz designed the original. Anders Svensson wrote the music. The star of the package is Harold the Homeboy, in a blue hat. Wikipedia and the 2026 presskit both name that character. The game is not Ice Tower, not Pizza Tower, and not the Roblox tower games that share the word tower.
Play, download, or buy the remake
A teaser, not a browser build
On 12 Nov 2026 the public homepage at icytower.com showed a Steam button, a presskit, and a newsletter. I did not find an official playable page there, so the picture above goes to the download guide. The teaser below is the release video published by apskeppet. It starts only after you press play.
Fresh on 12 Nov 2026
- Steam list price $9.99 (also in the publisher presskit), launch discount $8.49 (Steam only).
- Very Positive from 188 reviews (92%) is one Steam reading from that day, not a live ticker.
- No official 1.5.2 release turned up. The newest classic build in the German version table is 1.5.1 from 7 Dec 2011.

The original tower keeps going. The FAQ page collects the ending, multiplayer, and Icy Tower 3 questions.
