Really cool concept for a rage game, unfortunately I suck at them so I barely even made it out of the starting area

Submitted(+1)

The movement and camera is so polish in this amount of time! The mechanic is interesting which I love to play as a time killer. But for me, I felt like I don't really need the scale up features to get up higher. Also, there is a little bug where I got stuck on the edge of platform, but it doesn't make it less enjoyable. Great work!

Nice idea for the theme. It's definitely a rage game!

Really neat presentation! Enjoyed the art and the work you put into the page for it also.

Fun idea, although i wasn't very good at it, it was very satisfying flinging the hiker around.

Well done!

Interesting mechanic and visual style - very much refinable and can be scale to ship. As is a bit hard to play right off the bat, perhaps a little staging area to get you comfortable to play would have made this stand. Pretty good execution for a game jam though.

This game is so hard ! More polish and playtest beforehand would have helped.

-- Positives --

Funny Art
Responsive controls and nice HUD elements
The controls are easy to understand

-- Negatives --

The collisions are frustrating : they stop your momentum immediately
Ice physics + Hard climbing = ohno!
Lack of audio

Man, this game is hard! Loved the art style though, and it's funny to imagine you squirming around trying to move while frozen in an ice cube.

Hate it already, deffinitly a rage game. not my type of game but I can see the appeal! I love the style though!!

Submitted(+1)

Pretty difficult, but interesting concept. Bonus points for having an awesome itch.io page to go with it.

Interesting Concept - Hard to gauge the right angle sometimes for the jumps, but overall nicely done.

This game is sooo hard, i was able to leave the start area only by accident after a lot of trys.

What if Ice level but angry birds. 

Nice, idea, good execution. I think this is the second rage game I've found on here. 

Submitted(+1)

I really like the visuals and the idea itself, but SKILL ISSUE.

very similar in concept to getting over it, complex controls, easy to fall at the very beginning

Submitted(+1)

Overall a nice experience; But I honestly couldnt quite figure out how well to control the character, especially with the jumps xD

Submitted(+1)

Nice job.

I found it a bit hard to control and didn't quite understand how it fits the theme (I couldn't manage to get much further into the game than the initial stage, perhaps the scaling will be needed sometimes later?). The graphics is amazing, and I really like the retro kind of style.

Developer

the theme is mainly for the "scaling a mountain aspect" as in climbing it, the 2ndary implementation of the theme is with scaling the size of the character which affects its weigth, size and mass.... which helps the further high up you are

good art style, was a bit hard for me to control , great game overall

Submitted(+1)

creative ice block man drag based platformer. Player being in ice is funny.

Developer (1 edit)

player being in ice also saves alot of time animating :D

Submitted(+1)

Very difficult game but it's well made! The art style is simple but not in a bad way, it looks good. I do sort of wish it was possible to launch while sliding on the ice instead of waiting to slow down (since waiting often leads to sliding off a ledge) but I suppose it only adds more to the seemingly intentional rage-inducing nature of the game. Also the intro with the hiker getting frozen immediately is hilarious!

Developer

was hoping to make a slightly longer intro with funny dialogue and reason for climbing mountain, but alas i ran out of time ;3

Nice work! :) I had a super hard time with the controls, but it might just be that I'm bad haha. The sound effects were a bit loud as well, but otherwise I had fun. The ice block jumpscare at the start made me laugh. Fun game overall!
