The AGS Panel is a team of AGS forum veterans who play all of the games here, and give them ratings from one to five cups. The rating system is as follows:
1 Cup Not serious entertainment
2 Cups A reasonable game, worth a try
3 Cups A good game, worth playing
4 Cups A great game, well worth your time
5 Cups An outstanding, must-play game!
Feel free to disagree with the panel's rating, and please don't be offended if you think your game has been underrated!

(Why has my game been rated 1 cup?)

Close window
If your game has been rated 1 cup, please don't be offended! It's common for your first game release to get a 1-cup rating, due to the game having a lack of polish and flair -- which is understandable, because you're just getting started!

Please understand that the main purpose of the ratings is to help potential game players find high quality, bug-free games to play. You've probably learnt a lot about AGS as a result of making your first game -- so why not use that knowledge to start afresh, and do even better with your next game!

About this game

Made for Nov 2020 MAG...

Ice Station Zero: an outpost at the north pole for US military to escape attack from enemy forces.

For five days the facility has been hit by snow blizzards of minus 60 degrees and gales up to 40 miles an hour.Things seemed fine until the main generator failed and you are now on aux power, but that won't last long.The men are desperate. You won't survive for long on aux power and the main generator must be fixed.What's more, strange things have been happening: equipment is being taken and several of the teams husky's have gone missing!
The last outpost team there vanished without a trace.
The race against the cold snow to repair the main generator begins. You soon learn that the radio aerial has gone down and needs fixing so that Central Control can be informed of your situation.

During the course of the repairs a fellow team member is seen rushing into a snow cave. Something sinister may be happening and you intend to find out what it is!

Game includes a body heat meter...

A good Slasher's vintage. The drops of temperature can be very sudden but they're not too taxing. The game is quite long and the suspense builds adequately.

Another entry in Slasher's portfolio. Solid enough game with good adhesion to the theme and nice variety of puzzles.

Atmospheric game set in an arctic outpost where you have to save everyone from freezing to death. I liked it quite a bit.

More a short thriller visual novel than a game. Good environment despite its simple graphics and puzzles.

Very nice atmospheric piece. You can really feel the cold and isolation in this one. Puzzles aren't difficult, and really enjoyed the effective use of simple animations to bring the game to life. The two-frame jumping animation of the generator running made me giggle, reminded me of early LucasArts. :)

I enjoyed this game.

I think the story has a solid backbone, and probably with more development time to refine the characters, it would have been even better. The sound and visuals captured the theme of "snow" quite well. The solutions to the puzzles were refreshingly direct. There was only one solution that left me confused.

Well done!

I feel a bit cold. This game gets the feeling of snow and ice across fairly well, due to graphics and story, at least in the beginning. In the second half of the game, the story takes a slightly strange and unnecessary turn, as if a surprise was needed (it wasn't - I liked the simple story just fine.)

The puzzles are on the easier side, so that it only takes about 30 minutes to complete this game, despite a fairly slow walking speed. I liked the idea of a body heat meter, though a stronger connection to the game play would have been nice.

I wouldn't say this is one of Slasher's better games, but it's still fairly solid.
