Challenging game. I included it in my Open Jam 2018 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)

I'm stuck in the vertical level! I can make it to the top, but I can't seem to get the cat to move to the left so I can get it on the button. There is a wall in the way so i can't hit it from the right, and it won't follow me if I jump over it to the left. It's so frustrating! That said this game is awesome. I really dig the music, and the concept is great! Would love to see more!
The music is a nice choice. I'm glad the colors weren't too vivid- I failed a lot and my eyes would been burning hot too. Save points = a necessity!
I liked that you could turn the enemies into ice blocks and they also melt away because it is very hot.
I wasn't sure if I was hurting the demon guy at the end (I was thinking: was the strategy to freeze the fire and throw it back at him? etc.) So I got behind him and spammed the x button. That end though! There has to be a different ending! 😂 felt sorry for Snowdeth.
I was a bit confused about the spinning plattforms. I didn't get it at first, but there is an alternative strategy: Jump, spam snow balls, and because you fall faster than the snow balls you can actually jump on the snowballs to reach higher places. Was that intended? I skipped most spinning plattforms that way. Generally movement felt rather strange (plattforms are really unsresponsive) but good movement is pretty hard.
I liked the length of the level and the level design was also good. Lowering pillars with the ice is a cool feature.
Overall, I think this game has many flaws: mainly the controls. They feel sloppy, mainly the jumping is really annoying. If you could still jump after falling off a ledge for a split second, the controls would feel much better. The metal music builds up on the mood of the game, but the lack of sound effects is a con. However, I really have to say, the feel of the game is pretty cool, and if it would receive some more polish it would be much better.
