* [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ArtificialIntelligence Artificial Inteligence]]: In the final level, the narrator realizes that he's just a character in a video game and decides that he, once and for all, HAS to kill Icey. After [[InterfaceScrew disconnecting your controller]], when he's on the verge of winning, Icey becomes self aware and manages to fight back, thanking you, [[BreakingTheFourthWall the player]] for guiding and keeping her safe throughout the game.

* ArtificialInteligence: In the final level, the narrator realizes that he's just a character in a video game and decides that he, once and for all, HAS to kill Icey. After [[InterfaceScrew disconnecting your controller]], when he's on the verge of winning, Icey becomes self aware and manages to fight back, thanking you, [[BreakingTheFourthWall the player]] for guiding and keeping her safe throughout the game.

* BreakingTheFourthWall: Oh so very very much. From the Narrator pointing out the floating arrows that guide you towards Judas, to the various messages if you do silly things like jumping off a ravine instead of activating the HardLight bridge, to the Narrator getting shot by his wife in the recording studio, after she finds out he's been cheating on her, this game isn't shy about putting a dent or two in the wall.

* BeehiveBarrier: Icey has one that's active at all times. It works by blocking all damage until it breaks, at which point you're stunned for a very short amount of time and can be refilled by either not taking damage for a certain amount of time, or detonating the core of one of your foes.

* AbsurdlySpaciousSewer: One of the very first levels is this, though ccording to the [[UnreliableNarrator narrator]], it wasn't always a sewer. The most likely culprit for it becoming one? Judas.

* TunnelNetwork: The subway levels where you fight [[GiandSpider Boss Puck]] and Boss Carlos. Overlaps with SinisterSubway.

* [[UncleSamWantsYou UncleJudasWantsYou]]: Can be found in the subway, in the form of Uncle Sam posters, modified with Judas' face replacing Uncle Sam, and the text changed to "I WANT YOU FOR JUDAS!"

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: In partial fitting with the trope, her name and her color scheme, Icey has white-ish hair with an ankle length ponytail that's light blue in color and periodically glows a brighter shade of blue.

* UnreliableNarrator: He's spot on in his narration if you follow his advice and fight Judas. If you don't however, then he starts tripping up, getting mad and then eventually gains sentience and, [[BreakingTheFourthWall while addressing the player directly]], asks for your help in killing Icey.

* DemonicSpiders: GiantSpider Boss Puck and the small spiders that come to aid it.

* BreakingTheFourthWall: Oh so very very much. From the Narrator pointing out the floating arrows that guide you towards Judas, to the various messages if you do silly things like jump off a ravine instead of activating the HardLight bridge, to the Narrator getting shot by his wife in the recording studio after she finds out he's been cheating on her, this game isn't shy about putting a dent or two in the wall.

* VideogameDashing: Icey starts off with a triple dash which quickly gets upgraded to an unlimited one that lets you quickly move in any direction, and offers you invincibility frames while doing so. You need it to reach parts of the game you weren't "supposed to" be able to.

* TheChosenOne: Various messages and bits of dialogue hint that Icey is this for... something.

* UncleSamWantsYou: Can be found in the subway, in the form of Uncle Sam posters, modified with Judas' face replacing Uncle Sam, and the text changed to "I WANT YOU FOR JUDAS!"

* ImpossiblyCoolClothes: Icey's [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TronLines Tron Line]] covered costume and accessories, that periodically glow bight blue, along with her sword and ponytail.
* ImpossiblyCoolWeapon: Icey's glowing energy blade and [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TronLines Tron Line]] covered sheathe.

* TronLines: Icey's weapon, clothes, accessories and even hair are covered in these, crashed cars in the background have [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TronLines Tron Line]] hubcaps, buildings off in the background have [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TronLines Tron Line]] architecture, and the list goes on.

* UnreliableNarrator: He's spot on in his narration if you follow his advice and fight Judas. If you don't however, then he starts tripping up, getting mad and then eventually gains sentience and, while addressing the player directly, asks for your help in killing Icey.

* RobotBuddy: The Observer, a little robot that follows you around, floating above and behind Icey's shoulder. Seen in the above image next to Icey's capsule.

* UncleSamWantsYou: Can be found in the subway, in the form of Uncle Sam posters, modified with Judas' face replacing Uncle Sam, and the text changed to "I WANT YOU FOR JUDAS"

* CallToAdventure: Both straight and averted. If you follow the narrator and the game's "story", then you wake up in a stasis pod, in an abandoned lab, with the sole purpose of killing Judas, thus answering the call. If you don't follow the narrator though, you can refuse to wake up from your sleep and by extension you can refuse the call.

* RobotBuddy: The Observer, a little robot that follows you around, floating above and behind Icey's shoulder.

* GoddamnedBats: The laser beam spewing... flies. They are the smallest foe in the game (and therefore hardest to hit), they attack with laser beams that stun you if they hit, they hit multiple times per attack AND they also break your shield in one full volley. Several of them attacking at the same time can mean some real trouble, if there are other enemies around, as they will take advantage of this.

* BeehiveBarrier: Icey has one that's active at all times. It works by blocking all damage until it breaks, at which point you're stunned for a very short amount of time.
* BigBad: "Judas" if you follow the narrator's advice. The narrator himself if you don't.

* GlobalCurrency: For being a chinese made game which takes place in the post apocalypse, the mighty dollar is still king.

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: The Daha tutorial boss fight has one of these. The others aren't bad either.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: In fitting with her name and color scheme, Icey has light blue hair that partially and periodically glows with the rest of her gear and costume.

Described as MegamanZero, meets PonyIsland, meets TheStanleyParable, the game follows titular character ICEY as she fights to take down "Judas", bringer of the apocalypse, through a variety of devastated post apocalyptic landscapes, all the while "guided" by the voice of an unseen narrator and some mysterious arrows floating in the air. But is there more to this story than the narrator lets on?
