First Look at Fire & Ice

If you're anything like me, you grew up on classic 2D platform games like Super Mario Bros. and Sonic the Hedgehog. As much as I love the current-gen games like Madden Football, Paper Mario, Guitar Hero and Rainbow 6 Vegas, those classic games have a very special place in my heart!

Given that, I'm very excited to present our next game (which will be out tomorrow): Fire & Ice

Fire & Ice is a classic side-scrolling adventure game that feels like it jumped right out of 1987 and onto our site. The game is simple, you have to squash your enemies, avoid falling off cliffs and defeat bosses to advance through a ton of stages. By finding special pick-ups, your character will switch from "Fire" to "Ice." It's up to you to switch at the right time to max your score.

What's the best part of this game? Well, you're old enough now that you don't have to save up your allowance for it and your mom won't be nearby telling you to get back to your homework (of course, your boss may have something to say about it...)

I've created a Flickr slideshow of some screens below, if you're having trouble viewing it you can click here.

Incredible. I've been with Candystand since about 2002 and this looks like one of the best games so far!

Great work guys, the site is better than ever. (I just found it again yesterday after a few year's absence)
