Description

"Kickle Cubicle" is a charming puzzle game developed by Irem for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), released in 1990. Players take on the role of Kickle, a plucky young character who sets out to rescue several fantasy kingdoms that have been frozen over by the Wicked Wizard King. The game's primary objective is to navigate through a series of ice-covered levels, using wits and strategy to collect red Dream Bags. Each level is cleverly designed with ice blocks and enemies, which Kickle can manipulate by blowing cold breath to create sliding ice pillars or by freezing adversaries to use as stepping stones, making the gameplay both engaging and challenging.

The game is known for its bright graphics and catchy music, typical of many NES titles from this period, which contribute to its whimsical, appealing atmosphere. "Kickle Cubicle" stood out for its puzzle-solving elements combined with action, requiring both reflexes and brainpower to succeed. It didn't receive as much commercial success as some other titles of the era, but it has since garnered a cult following due to its cleverly designed levels and gameplay mechanics. The game consists of over 100 levels spread across four different lands, each ending with a boss battle that tests the player's skill and strategic thinking acquired throughout the game. Despite its initial low profile, "Kickle Cubicle" remains a fondly remembered gem among NES enthusiasts and retro gaming collectors.
