Unity! With "N-ice Cover", the team won over the jury members of this 2nd colorful edition with a puzzle and platform game in which you play as a little ice cube named "Icy":
"In order to reach his goal, "Icy" has to overcome various obstacles, such as climbing over walls that are too high for him, thanks to his ability to leave his body in various places to use as a platform. He also has to avoid the sun or risk melting, since he's an ice cube! My group and I came up with this idea after brainstorming around the theme of the game jam, which was "mashup of music titles". We were given a list of various classic titles and we had to mix two of them to form a phrase and create a game in relation to that phrase."
– Dimitri Donnaymember of L'Unité, in a interview with RTBF Ixpé.
