Icy Tower Wii v1.1 updates menu input, skin loading and effects while retaining the original Compact/Original menu appearance and the custom characters and themes from v1.0.

Changes

  • Wii Remote pointer menu controls: press and release A over the same option to confirm; dragging to another row cancels the click.
  • Hide the additional SDL cursor that could remain in the top-left corner, and account for pillarboxed display coordinates.
  • Correct menu hit areas and overlapping hero/mod labels while preserving the original layout, font sizes, logo and selection marker.
  • Remove the temporary FPS overlay and reduce spinning, combo and floor particle bursts.
  • New IcyTower 1.5 skin compatible

Downloads and installation

  • icytower-wii-v1.1.zip — full homebrew package based on v1.0, with the updated executable, metadata, existing custom themes/skins and installation notes. Extract to the SD root and merge apps/ with your existing folder.
  • boot.dol — executable-only update; replace sd:/apps/icytower/boot.dol.
  • SHA256SUMS.txt — checksums for both downloads.

Keep your existing gfx/, sfx/, extra characters, mods and saved data. For a new installation, supply the original PC graphics and sounds as described in the repository README. They are not included in this release.
