Icy Escort Review

Penguins are scattered all across the Antarctica, and you have a chance to gather thm under the caring wing of Mother Penguin. Collect bonuses, points and pick up some power-ups to complete your adventure.

If you don’t mind spending hours in the cold Antarctica and eating ice cream while looking for penguins, you will enjoy Icy Escort. Lovely cartoonish penguins and over 30 funny missions can hold you captivated for quite long. We recommend you playing Icy Escort because it is an example of a good classic adventure game, which includes everything it should: collecting points, winning power-ups, and, of course, jumping.

The Gameplay

Playing the game doesn’t take much learning: you just walk back and forth, jump where you need, and try not to miss delicacies that will give you points. Nevertheless, Icy Escort has one original feature: as you proceed within your level, you are joined by baby penguins that you find hidden in snow piles. You just need to collect the bonuses before you gather the penguins: that’s when you complete the level.
