I liked the control panels showing the mechanics in the beginning! I wished there were footstep sounds paired with the walking animations, though, that would help players make movement decisions. 

Cool game! I believe if you switched away from the capsule hitbox on the player it would make sliding off platforms much less common (which is one of the things I found difficult about the game). If you fix this up, and also add some more sound effects and music, this is a solid game. Nice work!

I found it challenging and enjoyed your game.
Sadly some part of the challenge was me fighting with the movement system. Your game features a lot of precise platforming but your movement kit does not support precise platforming. Especially in the air the strength of the movement is just to strong.
I enjoyed the polarity aspects. For example that you cannot be killed by fire when in fire mode including projectiles. As well as being able to walk on ice enemies when you have the ice mantle.

Nice work!

Very nice! The controls felt pretty good and it was easy to get a handle on the movement and progression. There were definitely some pretty challenging parts but I enjoyed playing through it! Well done!
