🔎 Score Explanation:

Ice Kings gains credit for its basic 2D match viewer, offering more immersion than text-only games. However, the animation quality is low, and the rest of the UI and presentation feels outdated by modern standards. The strong backend mechanics aren't matched visually, and there's very limited player-driven customization.
