I liked the game but the enemies felt more like collectibles than enemies, I like the idea of needing to overheat to kill the enemies. Make sure to rate my game too! :)

Nice that you had a tutorial well done.

Was a bit unclear that the jump pads would bounce you different heights.

What's up with the 3 guys on the platform by themselves with a jump pad on the 5th or so level? I thought this would be like a secret or something but tried a handful of times to jump off of it and just died every time.

Wish I knew how many kills I needed at beginning of level

Adding barrels was a nice touch and felt satisfying to do.

overall, the level design was pretty solid and felt pretty good!

Got a 782 time at the end.

Generally was a fun concept. I did find it frustrating on occasion when I was standing right next to an enemy and lost all of my heat and just had to make a big circle loop to build up speed and be able to kill them.

The movement was a double edged sword for me. I was really happy to have so much air control, but felt like the movement was so quick that it caused me to just fly past platforms pretty often before I could even have a chance to react.

Would love a 2nd chance mechanic or something where you get like a double jump that has a long cooldown or something.

Enemy lasers felt a bit RNG and would sometimes kill me on the way to kill them.

Cute music! Never got on my nerves.

Thanks for the feedback! A lot of these issues were because I didn't play test during the jam, after I had someone playtest the game after the jam period most of all the points you brought up here were expressed by my playtester. It was a very painful watch. I'm working on another build with more forgiving level design and better movement! Again thank you for the feedback!

A good game, although the character did feel quite hard to control when flying overheated but maybe that's just my lack of skill :P

I beat it in around 292 seconds! There we go, now I'm forever at the top of the leaderboard that is this comment section. If I had to give criticism, I'd say the enemy bullet patterns felt a bit inconsistent, so it was hard to recreate a route with the enemies always behaving differently. But the character was fun to control so that carried it.

Thanks for the feedback! I gave the enemies storm trooper aim so the enemies don't kill you all the time, but I guess that it made it a little RNG.

its a bit of a challenging one nicely done frustrating at my own lack of skill though haha
