How it feels
You chip away at endless ice with a pickaxe, slowly upgrading your demonic powers in a cold, solitary grind toward the surface.

What players say
Players enjoy the cute story and satisfying power curve, but performance stutters and a slow start are common complaints. The walking back and forth to spend ice annoys some, though the short run time and two endings keep them playing.
