Icy Tower 2 is the 2012 phone game

When someone says Icy Tower 2 they almost always mean the phone game Free Lunch Design released in late 2012, with Palringo as publisher. They do not mean the Steam game from 10 Nov 2026. The Steam pages call that a new Icy Tower, not a sequel numbered 2.

What the 2012 game was

Wikipedia groups it with the official mobile line. icy.pl’s news post dates the iOS release to 10 Nov 2012 and says the iOS edition was free. The same Polish page mentions three editions. A story blurb that still circulates says an evil company plans to tear the tower down and put up a mall, and Harold climbs anyway. By 23 Nov 2012 the public notes were already talking about a million downloads. I have two Android dates and I am keeping both: 12 Dec 2012 on one release index, 17 Dec 2012 on a news post. Averaging them would invent a day nobody wrote.

Can you still install it?

On 12 Nov 2026 the Google Play page for com.freelunchdesign.android.icytower2 returned 404, and an App Store lookup for id 536502779 returned zero results. That check was US-focused. APKPure still mirrors a package numbered 1.4.18. I link the dead store URLs so you can see the 404 yourself. I do not link the mirror as a recommended download, because I have no report on what the repacked file contains.

If the goal is a phone-shaped Harold from the original studio, this is the title you are remembering, and it is off the stores I could open. If the goal is the 2026 climb with leaderboards and daily challenges, that is the Steam page, and calling it Icy Tower 2 will land you on the wrong decade.
