Really good idea! It made for some really cool platforming and its really fun overall just to burn stuff, jump really high and all that, plus the music and art that made the experience really enjoyable. This was a lot of fun!
The only thing that bothered me a bit was how long it takes to restart once you die(since I did that a lot because im not that great at video games haha) but I think thats just a small thing and doesn't take away from the overall game.
Great job!
Great game idea. Superb execution. Very easy to understand and have fun with game. Will look forward for further changes in this game.
Thank you so much! The praise is very appreciated, and we definitely hope to expand on the game.
This game was a lot of fun! A fun little platformer and a good utilization of the theme.
Thank you for playing! Glad to hear you enjoyed it
Such an excellent game! Something you could do more with is the use of bullet-type powerups that you introduced in one of the levels. Used in boss fights it could add some complexity if you're not just trying to dodge bullets but also collect enough powerups. Imagine trying to build up heat during the boss fight, but also avoid your larger frame getting hit as you do so. That could create some interesting challenges.
Thank you for playing! We're glad to hear that you liked it. I really like the ideas you presented for adding the powerups into the boss fight, that's something I tried for a bit but had a bit of difficulty adding it in a way that it didn't soft lock the player. But with a bit more time I think it's something I'd love to add into the game. The feedback is much appreciated. :)
Like the way the puzzles were set out with the abilities., not too simple nor hard. Same with the boss battle, 3rd phase caught me off guard :p
my bad for the duplicate comments, lag :/
Thank you for playing! I'm glad to hear you liked it, it means a lot. :)
I just finished the game and the boss fight was intense! Really fun mechanics and there were so many different ways to get cold or hot state which I liked. Animations were great and I loved the music. It was really fun to play, great job!
Thank you for playing! We really appreciate the praise. :)
Fun game! Good mechanics that fit the theme well. Platforming increases in difficulty well from start to end. Challenging boss battle!
Thank you for the comment! We appreciate the praise. :)
Although the tileset seems out of resolution(the cracks in the wall seem too small) The mechanics were well-thought-out, and I love the adorable character design.
Thanks for the comment! On our next project, we will be paying closer attention to tilesets and setting graphics to ensure the entire game is pleasing to the eye, not just certain aspects. Glad you enjoyed our game! :)
Well done game with a really interesting set of powers. Stuck on the boss. The tiny "cold state" bullet hell at the end is a real jump-up in difficulty.
Thank you for the comment! We've heard from multiple people about the boss' difficulty after the first two stages, and it's something we will test more on our next project. We want the games to be fun, not frustrating. That aside, we're glad you enjoyed it otherwise! :)
5/5 Well done!! I loved this game from the animations to the mechanics. It didn't feel like you added in hot and cold because that's what the jam required, it felt like this was an awesome game that already included those elements. I very much enjoyed this game!! Keep up the great work!
Thank you for the kind comment! We're glad that you loved our game. We appreciate the support!
Great unique take. The expansion and contraction mechanic has been rare and is a clever one. I would say your screen resolution is super large and means I canno see everything on the screen. Some of the foreground doesn't have much texture, so maybe a tilemap would have worked well there
Thank you for the feedback! We'll definitely look into the screen resolution issue and spend more time on foreground and environment in general next time.
Luv your game , nice and clear what to do, grafix is not bad, but can be better. The mechanic of the game is nice , luv the music, luv the all game, nice job, well done.
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it and we appreciate your feedback. :)
Hello! Loved the logic behind metal expanding and shrinking! My heart was raising in the final boss because I thought I'd restart the whole battle if I died! But then I died and only had to replay the element in the battle and I was relieved! Had a blast! Thank you!
Thanks for the comment! We're happy that you enjoyed the game. We appreciate your feedback, and the boss fight checkpoints will be something we definitely include in our future games. Again, thank you for the kind words!
Maybe giving the character health would be a good fix!
Good job on the game, it was fun to play. I like the changing character mechanic, makes for some interesting puzzles. The art is well made I like the various creatures, projectiles and the main character, but I would change the pixellated background. I think it does not fit with the style of the rest of the game. Also props for the music and sounds, I think they fit the game really well!
Thanks for your comment! We'll definitely take more time to match styles between the background, platforms, and characters next time. We appreciate the feedback!
