Fire and Ice

STORY / GAMEPLAY
You control a cute coyote named Cool on a quest to go through eight worlds in pursuit of the evil wizard Suten. In each level you collect fragments of a key that will grant you access to the next part. Those fragments can be obtained by killing other creatures that swarm the area. You can attack a creature by shooting ice pellets at it and freeze it. Note that this causes no actual damage and the freezing state will stop after a while so you must kill it when it's still frozen. There are also some hidden warp gates that can transport you to other lands and possibly hidden bonus zones. The game is a good looking but hard jump and run platform with pretty sensitive controls! You'll need quite some skill to get Coyote where you want since the ice world platforms are very slippery.

GRAPHICS / SOUND
Both foregrounds and backgrounds on the Atari ST version sport an impressive amount of around 65+ colors and scroll smoothly enough with some cool sprite animations. Nevertheless some details on the foreground, like the shimmering water at the bottom of the screen, are missing here in contrast to the Amiga OCS/ECS. As for its sound, the Atari ST version features some cool (literally) in-game sound effects and a catchy music.
