Although the wall jumping was a bit difficult, I find the game unique. Good work.

This was really good!  The wall-jumping mechanic was maybe not super precise, that would be my one major criticism.  But the uplifting messages on the stages where you made us to that a lot was a nice touch haha.

Fantastic job! There's a lot of content in this game given the timeframe the jam took place. Lots of levels with nice puzzles. I really like how you used the temperature and used that mechanic creatively to get each level's puzzle to stand out. I also liked the lava lamp effect in the main menu's background.

Only nit-pick I can think of is the jumping off walls is pretty finicky. I ended up switching temperatures inside vertical blocks to hoist me up higher since it forces the player character upward, and that's how I managed to clear some of the levels that relied on the wall jump mechanic. Otherwise stellar job with all of this! Probably the easiest 5-star game I've seen so far.

Thanks so much! I am very happy that you liked the game. You're right about wall jump mechanic. I think wall jump mechanic needs to be fixed as you mentioned. I have realized this problem before i release the game but there was no time since i study in university. But there will be quick fix to this wall jump mechanic also there is another problem that is known and it is getting stuck inside of some blocks. I will update the game with more levels and no bugs. Thanks for playing again!

This was fun! so far until I think it didn’t know what to do. I made it to the melt the dark blue blocks part, done, but here is where I get stuck. I can’t be both colors lol or can I. Also a button to go to the menu from the game would be helpful :D

Also really nice showing the player the power of hot and cold!

Developer

Thanks for your comments. First of all i am very happy that you enjoy the game. You can change between hot and cold in an order so getting stuck like this position is definitely a bug and  i will solve this problem :) Also i agree with you game needs a back button to the menu :)
