Kickle Cubicle is a puzzle game released for the Nintendo NES in 1990. Players control Kickle, a character tasked with freezing enemies and navigating through grid-like levels to unlock doors and progress. The main objective is to solve puzzles by strategically freezing water and enemies, using the environment to clear paths and reach the exit.
The game features a moderate pace that encourages thoughtful planning rather than quick reflexes. A unique mechanic involves Kickle’s ability to create ice blocks by freezing water, which can then be pushed to solve puzzles or trap foes. This freezing ability allows for creative problem-solving and requires players to consider spatial relationships carefully.
Kickle Cubicle stands out for its unusual idea of combining enemy interaction with environmental manipulation in a puzzle format. The distinctive mix of freezing mechanics and enemy control creates a challenging and engaging experience that sets it apart from typical tile-based puzzles of its era.
