Have you been looking for a game with a nostalgic feel? Well, this game maybe is for you! It has retro-like graphics where you'll feel that you're playing a game on a newly released handheld game way back in the 90s. I have played a similar game like this called Ice Climber from way back. It is nice playing these kinds of nostalgic games because you remember your childhood. Playing games and worrying about nothing but your personal agendas.

As I said earlier, this game is like Ice Climber, where you climb icy platforms with an ice pick. Now since we're living in 2022: they replaced the old ice pick with a futuristic jet pack. You have to climb to the highest peak that you can, but there are some obstacles. There are enemies along the way who shoots flame throwers and bullets. You can eliminate them though with some strategies, like bumping into the platform adjacent to them or shooting them. Otherwise, avoid them so you won't lose your life points.

Throughout the game, you only have 4 life points. When you are hit 4 times, you're out. You have what I think is an overheating jetpack. This will be the machine that you will use in order to climb. Along the way, there are capsules where you can enter and take a rest / have a break from hovering. This way, you'll recover your health points. You are gonna bump onto concrete, but your character can take it. Make sure to bump below the enemies, defeat them and earn extra points. As you go higher, there will be harder platforms to break, so better watch out.

The game is fun to play. You can see your previous scores, forcing you to beat them every time you play the game, I suggest that the developers will improve the UI of the game, mainly the controls. The buttons are small, so I was having a hard time pressing them, causing me to lose a few rounds. Overall, it is a good game to play to pass the time.
