Unfortunately I didn't play this other ice cube game but thank you for playing  mine.

Really like how you feedback info about health to player by melting the cube, intuitive and it contributed to slick design.  

Developer

Thank you! I really thought a lot about it. In general a don't like healthbars and numbers betweeen me and the games I play, they distract you and make the game a game about numbers most of the times, that's why I try to visualize all of the GUI elements as parts of the game. The point is to experience the full game without distractions. You should focus on the games and its world, that my opinion at least.

great use of the limitation, love these golf like games, great job :)

Developer

Thank you very much! (Ice Cube) > (Goalf Ball)

Developer

Thanks everyone so much for the feedback, I didn't expect you to like it so much!
I just thought that this would be nice to make a simple game that everyone could play and enjoy using the given limitaion. I'm thinking about continiuing it and making it a full game.
Thank you again!
I'll be playing as many possible games of the jam and give feedback as well by tomorrow.

Great game. It really fit the limitation and everything felt polished. It has very simple, but great art and some relaxing music in the background. At first, I thought the player was a bit hard to control, but in the end I managed to beat it. Great job!

Developer

Thank you! It's true that I should fix the movement engine a bit so it feels just right.
The music was something different for me since I am a Musician / Music Producer and this is not my style but I wanted to make something smooth and relaxing so the player would not feel frustrated during the gme even it feels a bit hard sometimes.Thanks for the feedback!

I had trouble with the controls but the game is nice overall!

Developer

It's true that the controlls need to feel like you are a little bit more "in controll". Thank you!

almost perfect, very good, but no perfect,

Developer(+1)

Thank you! Of course it's not perfect, I'd love  to know about your experience for "Not being perfect".

Submitted(+1)

Yes, in fact at the beginning I could not understand that the cube was melting, you could also put as an arrow that shows you where the cube will go, although it would make it a bit easy, but it is still a very good game!

Developer(+1)

Great, I will take it into consideratiob to make it clear at the brgining of the game.
