Definitely one of my favorite games for this jam! I think it's worth turning into a full game. Really enjoyed the spritework, level design and gameplay.
There are a few (mostly minor) shortcomings:
- The game does not utilize its character changing system to the full potential I think. The levels often felt like "play as a slime, then as a cloud, then as an ice cube". Adding more interaction between the modes would improve the puzzle aspect of the game
- Tileset looks subpar compared to character sprites
- The background would look better with parallax effect
- Character transitions felt a bit too slow

How did you/your team interpret the theme?
I decided to create a simple puzzle platformer by allowing the player character to change into different forms when they are close to heat / cold source in the stage
How was your/your team's experience in this jam?
Quite fun, compared to the previous jam, the two weeks time limit is definitely more relaxing and allowing more time to explore the ideas
