This is amazingly well polished. The aesthetics are nice, the animations are smooths are the sound design is clean. The jump mechanic adds a nice twice to the classic platform type game. 

The difficulty seems rather high for a gam jam, and the game is defintly resisting, but this is not a bad thing.

If I had to to find a point where it could be improved, it would be in way the theme fits in the game. The game is definitly heat-themed, with the lava and stuff, but the gamplay mechanics do not feel to be that much about "overheating". 

Developer

Thank you so much for the reply!!

We definitely were banging our heads together to come up with the overheating theme. We came up, as you said, with all the lava stuff but also with the jump mechanic, the idea was to "overheat" the jump if you used it to much but because of the time constraint we wouldn't have time to perfect the level design around it.

Cool game! Had fun with it but many times if you fail a jump it just means death. It also seems that you always just need to charge the bar to the max.

Thanks for the reply, we've actually updated the game so there is a  minimum amount of jump (while also solving some other bugs) we'll put that version up when the jam is finished :)

The graphics and animations are really great, just wish the jumping was a little more responsive, other than that, really fun game :)

Developer

Thanks for the feedback :)

Do you mean adding coyote time or a jumping buffer?

Submitted (1 edit) (+1)

Yes, a jump buffer would be nice because sometimes I press space a couple frames before I land and it does not register the jump
