Really enjoyed it!
Wish I could make it further, unfortunately I also got stuck, unable to push myself off of anything anymore.
Thanks for playing and sorry about the glitches!
I've fixed the controls and have done a bunch more testing using the keyboard it should be all good (fingers crossed) so I'll have this uploaded in the next 24 hours. I'll send you a message once it's uploaded :)
Hello, I've uploaded a hopefully working version of Ice Canyon now. Give a another go if you'd like to :)
Thanks for the heads up! Played and finished the new version - only got logs in the last level (which I think is the original one?) it's certainly far more enjoyable now! You seem to be experimenting with level shapes as well, I'd suggest trying levels that go in one direction (bottom up, left to right etc) and then having a few branching paths along the way that converge back - that way you maintain the secretness or difficulty of some logs without generating some type of maze. Cheers!
Thanks for the message! I'm glad it was a more enjoyable experience this time round :) Love the idea of having more of a directional flow to the levels the branching off for difficult sections! I'll let you know once I've made some more levels. Have a great day :)
got stuck twice in the part where you have to wall jump from side to side after you learn to crouch. Controls didn't respond as I expected and I couldn't figure out how to continue. Pity, because the pushing mechanic is a great idea and timing your jumps and crouches as you slide is fun. Narration was also great, very funny.
Thanks so much for playing and for the detailed feedback! Greatly appreciated!!
I'll work on fixing the issues and upload an amended version ASAP (hopefully in the next week).
Thanks again :)

This is one of the most creative theme interpretation i've seen, this is just so cool. I would maybe make the game from up to down - that way its not so unforgiving when You fall at places.
Great voice acting, great mechanic fully explored, kind of hard but not too hard... I think if You would've done many levels and like tutorial levels it would have been more approachable to players.
Good job!
thanks so much for playing and the awesome feedback!!
I think you're 100% on the money with the slower introduction to the mechanics, and maybe saving the uphill climb until a later stage is a great idea too!
This is the first game I've shown the world and has been a great learning experience and feedback like this is unbelievably helpful so thanks again for taking the time to play and send me the message :)
I'll work on it some make and let you know once it's done.

Hahaha the narration is fab, love a good voice over in a jam game! Comboing the slides with jumps is fun
Thanks for playing Sleepy! Glad you like it :)

Yep. I got stuck 0.0 The narration is great! Controls are a bit unintuitive. Idea is *cool*.
Thanks for the feedback Jared! Shame everyone's getting stuck :( Definitely need to work on that!
If you have a moment are you able to watch this video and let me know if you're able to do the things that I'm able to do?

Just need to work out what's going wrong so I can improve my skills! :)

I enjoyed this style of gameplay using the friction from the ice. I just had problems some places where I got stuck.
The narration is pretty cool, nice job!
thanks theguspassos! it sounds like a few people have had "getting stuck" issues. I'm glad you enjoyed the parts that worked :)

For some reason I didn't get the notification for your question but for some reason I ended up here again.
I've watched the video and I can do the things you did, but I didn't know it was possible. Like pushing in the small obstacle.
Thanks so much for the feedback! I'll definitely work on a better explanation of the mechanics in the future :)

Cool idea, I got stuck early on and couldn't progress. Could use some play testing try to prevent player getting stuck.
Thanks Freddiepon! I'm very new to game development so was bound to happen haha. If you can let me know how you got stuck I'll fix the issue and re-upload :)
