About the Game



“No one knew where the construct came from, one day it just suddenly appeared. A digital entity floating in cyberspace, with big letters on its side reading: ICEwall.

The construct seemingly had no purpose and yet it contained a series of programs, ICE, designed to eliminate intruders, as if its sole purpose was to challenge us.

The other runners and I were instantly hooked, like kids spending all their money playing arcade machines.”

- ROTN, Console Cowboy


With ICEwall I have combined the immediate action gameplay of classic shooters, with modern roguelike game design. A game that is easy to play, but with a lot of depth and replayability.

  • Draft power-ups as you play
  • All abilities and powers stack together
  • Build powerful, fun and creative combos
  • Bullet hell action
  • Epic boss fights
  • Multiple player ships with different starting abilities
  • Multiple game difficulties and game modes:
    - Arcade Mode
    - Hard Mode (is really hard)
    - Draft, No Draft and Free Draft (perfect for hunting achievements and experimenting)
    - Endless Mode
  • Music that slaps!







Good luck USER!
