Nice game! The animations were a little buggy though.
I like the art style and music!
Nice Job!
"Cool" game! (sorry), the idea is great, maybe the character feels a bit uncontrollable, but other than that, great game!
Great idea to use ice physics for the player character, it was a lot of fun to zoom around the world. The level design does a good job of encouraing momentum. Judging by the ending, I'm not sure I'm playing the good guy.
really cool idea , nice art and sounds , keep it up man
Nice job! I didn't fully realize that it controls way better the colder you are. That's on me. It's fun when you know that though.
Fun game, very good execution, but it lacks in originality.
A bit of a different take on the theme to the entries I've played so far and I like it. The movement is a little infuriating but that's part of the fun. Feels great to play, good job!
The controls are really slipery but I like theme!
For fun I tried to speedrun it, I was able to complete it in under 1min20, probably can go under a minute.
1min20 Is pretty impressive! You are probably the current speedrun record holder for the game. I may have to try to beat that myself!
Great art, great level design, just wish that if you went down narrow area's you wouldnt bounce back up if you would hit a wall.
Great art (icecube is sooooo cute), great concept, and love the slippery fast controls! I got real mad because I couldn't figure out how to activate the gate and finish the first level but I scrolled down the comments here and found you explaining you need to freeze the fountain. Whoops!
No problem, that one is our fault I think. The sign that was supposed to tell you that ended up with another sign in front of it.
Pretty cool, but i couldn't progress through the first level, when pressing E in gate nothing happend
Ah yes, you have to stand in the fountain until it freezes first. Somehow the sign that told you that got covered up by another sign in this build. Hopefully this helps!
Had great experience with this fast paced game :D . Looks really sharp. Great job! :)
Now that is a fast paced game. Cool idea I had a blast!
At first Level. I did not recognized the signs/info. fortunately i finished the first level. What a sliding game.! :D
I was nyooming and zooming all over the place and I enjoyed the chaos of the gameplay. Bouncy walls really help sell the absolute lack of control when they fling you really far. The game's graphics are very stylistic and pretty, and you may not have made the sound but the sound design is still good! Nice work!
Also, have a bit of bad fan art, it accurately represents my experience:
Hahaha I love that art! Thanks so much for playing, I’m glad you enjoyed it.
this was amazing 5-5
This was an absolute blast!!! By the end of the second stage, my hand was SORE but it was well worth it! Running around the map was incredibly fun. I love the difference in gameplay as you slowly melt, it added stakes. I was always shooting back to the nearest ice station the instant I made any progress! The only two issues I had were that some areas were a tad difficult to bounce to or out of–I ended up dying because I couldn't get out of the small cave near the final exit. But I managed to figure out the technique the next round, which was quite satisfying! The other part was it was difficult to read the signs, as I was sliding by them at such high speeds. Maybe later y'all could consider putting them in the ice stations? But those are tiny things, and for 48 hours, this is a really impressive and fun game to play!
I wasn't able to enter the gate on Windows - am I missing something obvious? This is in the first level right after the sign.
A sign post was accidentally moved in front of another one explaining that you need to freeze the fountains first. Stand in the fountain for a bit and it'l freeze, afterwards the gate will change to another sprite and you can enter it
Thanks for the tip! I went back with that in mind and beat it - I enjoyed it a lot! At first I didn't know how it tied into the 'Out of Control' theme, but after playing for a bit I noticed how significantly the melting affects your movement (deceleration, bounciness, etc). It was a lot of fun and I think it has significant potential if the idea is refined and more content is made. Good job!
Pretty fun, reminds me a lot of super meat boy. Just wish the camera was a little more zoomed out. Overall very solid entry.
