I really like all the effects and the dash, but it is true that I would improve the levels because they remain empty. The gameplay is very good, my respects. Keep it up!
thanks for checking it out
getting a feel for what I can do to make my scenes not so empty is something I’ve been slowly working towards
definitely much room for improvement in that regard for a game like this
🧊 cheers
quite fun. If you want to bring you game to the next level, consider adding background props and animation. The scenes quite look empty, but still you completely nailed the aesthetics for me! Absolsutely love it!
agree 100%, the super minimalistic design is a factor of time and me doing this solo with very little art skills (more than half of the players apparently think my fridges are a door)
thank you so much for checking it out
🧊 cheers
Fun controls - We kinda had the same idea lol
Very good game
amazing and fun
The idea is very nice! I really like the movement and the 2D lights
Nice game but, I CANT JUMP ARGHHH (uwu)
I love the gameplay! The controls are tight and it feels great to control this ice cube (also I love that you made a small trail when ice walks on the ground, adds a nice touch to the game)
this is a very good submission. But unfortunately for me the last level beat me lol. But still this is an amazing game and you did a good job with it! Best of luck on your future projects
thank you so much for the kind words 🧊
yeah I know the last level is a bit of a “final boss” to many people, I might have overcooked it a bit
Solid game! just wish that it had wavedash.... or atleast an 8 directional dash ;( but that would require tweaking the whole game and level design. Anyways i think that the candles and Fridges area could be Circles instead of Squares and i didnt really get to die via sunlight or melting.. Great GAME!!! Super Cool and really good!!!BUT i havent gotten to the final level yet.. ill update my rating once i beat the game
funny you say that, wavedash was on my wishlist of mechanics to add but I couldn’t do it in time to make it feel good, didn’t want to have be super janky
good taste there 🧊
Its me (F1yu), I managed to complete ur game in 11 minutes first time. Going to try again soon. As someone else has already said, the movement is really satisfying. I think the dash mechanic is really cool but i'm just horrible at using it lol. I really like how polished this game is. I think its one of the best games🙂
i’d be curious to see how low you can get, did you see people getting all the way to 1:08? it’s crazy
🧊 cheers
yes i saw the score on the leaderboard and i could never get that haha
I estimate you can get down to 3-4 min at least with just learning the levels with minimal execution skill, below that is where movement tech comes really into play
UPDATE: i got 7 minutes, dont know how someone got 58s
woooooooooooooo \o/
if you want spoilers, there is a speedrun by me (now super beaten 1:15)

i like your game is really awesome simply unique game rate and play my game also plz!!!
It took a while, but the levels were fun. finding the mechanics isn't all fun, however. maybe I will just read all the comments first next time. Overall, good game!
Prolly one of the best ones ive played in this jam. Took quite a bit of time to get the hang of the movement, but very rewarding. Solid game!
thank you for putting the effort to go over the learning curve 🧊🧊🧊🧊🧊 really appreciate it
I am really not a good platformer player.
I was about to rate this low in gameplay because the controls felt slippery. I get it now. First run took like 13 minutes. Second went down to 4. Nice job!
not gonna lie, I was (still am honestly) terrified of that first sentence being the final verdict for most people. In the end decided to take the risk.
every person that “gets it” feels super good, I’m very thankful that you expressed it that way
🧊 cheers
Finally, I completed all the levels XD. The dash and jump mechanics are satisfying. You did a great job!
LETS GOOOOOO 🧊🧊🧊 thank you
Cool game, but too hard. got stuck on thinking with fridges part.
noice but too hard (me not pro gamer(ya now))
This game slaps. The difficulty progression is really good. Every part of the game feels difficult the first time through, then on the second run you can kinda 'break' the early levels with all the stuff you learned.
this makes me extremely happy to read, “yeah they got what I was trying to communicate!”
means even more to me than if someone likes what I make or not
and there was a loooot of questioning and doubting if people would “get it”, took some stern talking to from some discord friends to prevent me from over explaining everything with words instead of letting players figure it out
🧊 thank you so much
This game was really good! the sections where you had to chain dash jumps together where probably my favorite parts. My only complaint is that you can't dash if you fall off of a ledge instead of jumping off of it, which made a couple sections a little janky, but other then that this was really good!
