Icy Tower mods
Custom characters start in version 1.2. You build a folder whose name matches the files inside it, and you put that folder in the game’s characters directory. A skin, in the Polish split, is different: it replaces data.dat and redraws the whole screen. This page explains that split and links the directories people already use. It does not re-upload anyone’s pack.
Which executable the pack expects
- 1.2 introduced replays, key remapping, and custom characters. fun.mode.on is a file in the game root, not a mod browser.
- 1.3.1 is the tree most character folders target. MyAbandonware notes that this patch drew the most mods. Replays are ITR130.
- 1.4 added profiles and a classic-versus-custom mode, and it stopped custom characters from changing the palette.
- 1.5.1 is the last official Windows patch. Packs for it often replace data.dat or sfx15.dat. They do not read ITR130 replays.
- The 2026 Steam page does not describe a characters folder. I do not invent a Steam mod path.
Names you will see on icy.pl
The character index has listed Czaszka, Eminem, Harold Facebook, Harold Menel, Harold nk, n.robertson, and wolfmen, among others. Installing means copying the folder and keeping the folder name equal to the file name the game looks up. I have no separate write-up that matches the search phrase “skiny czesio,” so that phrase stays a query, not a pack I can describe.
GameBanana and ModDB also host user files for the Windows game. Follow their own license lines. A pack that includes the original executable is a redistributed game, and the download guide is a better map for the game itself. The Vita port is not a mod of the PC files you play on Windows; it is a separate engine that unpacks a 1.3.1 installer you supply.
Questions
Where do I put a character?
In the characters folder of a classic install, with the folder name matching the files. 1.3.1 is the usual target.
Do you host the downloads?
No. Use icy.pl’s character index, GameBanana, or ModDB, and read the version line on the pack.
Will a 1.3.1 skin run on Steam?
The Steam page does not document data.dat. Treat classic packs as classic-only.
