Great little puzzle platformer! Love the design, overall visuals and all the mechanics. Took a bit of time to click with the controls but had a lot of fun with it. Nice touch with the look around feature too, worked really well. Good work!

Figuring out the puzzles were great fun, and I really loved the mechanic! It mightve been nicer for the puzzles to be a bit shorter, since messing up halfway through means starting the whole thing again, but otherwise lovely job!
Nice puzzle game, loved the presentation and personally I thought controls were fine (positioning the ice though...)
While the controls were kind of awkward at times, and some of the positioning requires too much precision due to the controls, the game is incredibly fun! If I could change anything, I'd make it so that cancelling a throw is mapped to it's own button rather than on up and down, which are used for aiming.
Great game! The art and animations are fantastic, and showing the ice-cubes on the character, rather than as some UI overlay, is a really good idea!
The puzzles have a nice difficulty curve, and had me scraching my head a couple of times (especially lvl 7 had me going 'aha').
A few things I noticed:
- Sometimes I was presented with a 'blind toss', not knowing where my ice-cubes would land. Perhaps 'forcing' the player past the landing, would have made these moments more intuitive, and let me know how many cubes to throw.
- Sometimes I would find myself at the bottom of a hole, and have to restart the level, which was a bit demotivating.
- Some throwing angles where a bit finicky, making me unsure if intended.
I know the limitations of the jam are really strict, so take everything I said with a grain of salt :D
I really did enjoy playing! and all in all it was a really fun experience!
This is a great game, the concept is very good and the graphics are great. I found it challenging but very fun, you did a great job on the game!
This is a really great game! The level design is so clever. Solving the puzzles is always a good "aha!" moment. Yeah also did fantastic work with the art. You gave my game pretty high praise but I'd definitely place your game higher than mine.
